Longevity
[Verse 1]
I’ve got longevity
Hustle is my remedy
Don’t care what ya tellin' me
Erase you from my memory
Funny that talkin' trash but play my songs heavily
Been in this too long man
Long enough to level me
Levels to all the skill then I'm on a different pedigrees
Levels up on the hills
And I'm not talking beverly
Plottin' and its cleverly
My words will forever be
I'm just gettin' started here
And look at what's ahead of me

[Chorus]
Ya I've been goin' so hard
I didn’t even stop to make a toast
So really cheers to this far
I didn't think I'd ever come close
I know your sick of the work
And not gettin' your worth
And you feel like it never ends
I know that life’s not fair
And nobody really cares
And you feel like you never win

[Verse 2]
Well I can't quit now I'm too far in
Used to doubt it like is this for me
Out of nowhere in the running blew
And got me thinkin' differently
Maybe this really is for me
Maybe I'll make some history
Success ain't overnight
And most people want it instantly
Honed my craft for eight years
There is no debate here
Scared well I embrace fear
Enemies they stay near
Lurkin' want a way in
Watchin' what they saying
Say I’m immitatin'
Lost in conversations
I know your tricks of your trade
Ain't gettin' you laid but don't take that out on me
I know your sick of your day
And that shit don't pay
So it's hard to be proud of me
I was on that grind too
Up until a year ago so mind you
Payin' off these college loans
I have to find the time too
This found me it's true love
Didn't plan it but who does
Business suit and crew cut
It was always too much

[Chorus]
Ya I've been goin' so hard
I didn’t even stop to make a toast
So now let's cheers to this far
I didn't think I'd ever come close
I know your sick of the work
And not gettin' your worth
And you feel like it never ends
I know that life’s not fair
And nobody really cares
And you feel like you never win

[Outro]
I know your tricks of your trade
Ain't gettin' you laid but don't take that out on me
I know your sick of your day
And that shit don't pay
So it's hard to be proud of me
