[Hook: PnB Rock]
G#mI done gave the jaEils too many yearsC#m  
D#mYears that I won’t get back
G#mAnd I swear I done sEhed too many C#mtears
For niggas that I wD#mon’t get back
G#mYeah I got niEggas in the graveyard
C#mNiggas in the state yards
D#mI swear not a day goes by
G#mThat EI don’t think about the C#mtimes
I wD#mish that I could rewind
[Hook: PnB Rock]
‘Cause G#mI done gave the jEails too many yearsC#m  
D#mYears that I won’t get back
G#mAnd I swear I done sEhed too many teC#mars
D#mFor niggas that I won’t get back
G#mYeah I got niEggas in the graveyard
C#mNiggas in the state yards
D#mI swear not a day goes by
G#mThat EI don’t think about the C#mtimes
I wD#mish that I could rewind
[Verse 1: Kodak Black]
G#mI told my mama Ewe gon’ be fine
C#mSo I’m up all night way after sD#mleep time
G#mI’m just thinkin’ ‘bout Lil KEuda
C#mGave my dog a dime
D#mHe put a buckshot in a nigga’s behind
G#mNo daddy so I grEew up to the street life
C#mBut my son, I’ma kD#meep him in the beehive
G#mScheming on a heist, I neEed to change my life
C#mBeen geekin’ all night, D#mI’m going senile
G#mWith two niggas toting three 4-5E’s
C#mI seen a nigga play D#mgangsta, then he broke down
G#mLost a lot, lost his mEind in the courthouse
C#mI’m on XXL, I’m in New D#mYork now
[Hook: PnB Rock]

D#mLost up in the system
G#mMiss my brothers and my sisters
EDamn I miss my lil one
C#mI know sometimes I be tripping
D#mBut I just miss my niggas
G#mI got codeine in my liver
EI gave the judge a piece of me
C#mI’m too street for the industry
D#mBut I think that’s where I need to be
G#m‘Cause verbally, mentaElly, and phC#mysically I D#mkeep that heat
G#mMe and my brother fit in
N.C.
We smoking one with PnB
G#mNiggas say they fuck with me
EBut lowkey they be easin' me
C#mBitches don’t mean shit to me
D#mPeople tryna sentence me
G#mHow a youngin’ posted on the sEtreet, gon’ call it C#mSesame
1K ‘til the death of me, don’t D#mput your life in jeopardy

The story behind the song

"Too Many Years" finds Kodak Black reflecting on the heavy cost of time spent incarcerated and the toll it takes. The song carries the weight of promises made to a mother, a vow that they'll "be fine" despite the past. It speaks to the deep sense of loss, both personal and in witnessing others losing their way in the legal system. At its heart, it’s a declaration of loyalty and a warning against putting one's life at risk.
