Long Term Lyrics by Blueprint

0

[Intro]
Aha
Right right
Yeah
Aha

[Verse 1]
In my teens I was thinking 'bout my twenties
In my twenties I was thinking 'bout my thirties
In my thirties I was thinking 'bout my forties
So hopefully in my forties I ain’t got to worry
You gotta get it right while you a younger man
Be your own provider instead of holding out your hands
Be the guy people admire when it hits the fan
Not the guy they picking up 'cause he can barely stand
A grown man, not grown just because of years
Grown because you set examples for all your peers
When the rest disappeared you was always there
Ready to sacrifice more blood, sweat and tears
I know hard work and discipline ain't glamorous
But I'll be damned if you see me panhandling
Or acting in a manner that damages my family
The future's coming fast so I plan for it

[Hook]
I’m thinking long term (Long term, what?)
I’m thinking long term (Long term, what?)
I’m thinking long term (Long term, what?)
I’m thinking long term (Long term, what?)
I’m thinking long term (Long term, what?)
I’m thinking long term (Long term, what?)
I’m thinking long term (Long term, what?)
I’m thinking long term (Long term, what?)

[Verse 2]
Yeah, huh
On the road of life everybody gets a flat
Only difference is if you wanna get it patched
Or invest in a new tire that'll last
Are you thinking long term when the question's asked
Something to think about that’s what we should be about
Put it in action everything that we speak about
There is a hidden price when we take the easy route
We learn a lot more when we take the scenic route
The only reason Blueprint gets to speak today
Is due to the foundation built yesterday
Invested in myself when nobody else would listen
Poured into myself like I used to pour my liquor
I know hard work and discipline ain't glamorous
But I'll be damned if you see me panhandling
Or acting in a manner that damages my family
The future's coming fast so I plan for it

[Hook]
I’m thinking long term (Long term, what?)
I’m thinking long term (Long term, what?)
I’m thinking long term (Long term, what?)
I’m thinking long term (Long term, what?)
I’m thinking long term (Long term, what?)
I’m thinking long term (Long term, what?)
I’m thinking long term (Long term, what?)
I’m thinking long term (Long term, what?)

[Outro]
(I’m thinking)
(What I'm thinking, what I'm thinking, what what I'm thinking)
(Long term, what I'm thinking, what I'm thinking, what what I'm thinking)
(But I'll be damned if you see me panhandling)
(But I'll be damned if you see me panhandling)
(Long term, what I'm thinking, what I'm thinking, what what I'm thinking)
(Long term, what I'm thinking, what I'm thinking, what what I'm thinking)
(But I'll be damned if you see me panhandling)
(But I'll be damned if you see me panhandling)
