Intro [Sun Light]:
I don’t know how you do it
Stay in the game for so long man
It’s a whole art in itself
Verse 1 [Sun Light]:
Flow pockets, show rocking, do it like the ‘80’s back in old Compton
Whole art list, go cop it, I’m rapping til its Kendrick and Cole watching
How do I get on top of the whole market? No stalling like my old car did
Radio artists, I am so not them, still I got Jehry, my Strange bro on this
And this is just a testament to my longevity, in twenty years
I’m gonna look back on the way I severed these
Stems of this instrumental piece and see how long I been rapping so cleverly
How I’m on my feet is still a mystery
Considering initially music was like my therapy
Scribbling lyrics was like the only way to set me free
Call it disability but it is not restricting me from anything
Yea, you better back up like the cavalry
Honestly, I don’t know how they do it for so long
Dre was in the ‘80’s and he’s still going so strong
Tech’s dropped like damn near an album every year for twenty years
I still get hyped from old songs
I know they wake up everyday and splash their face with cold water and tell themselves they gotta prolong
No one is gonna do it for em so why am I waiting thinking that the perfect moment is gon’ come?
I gotta grind harder than all other rappers
Grab my pen and pad and song apparatus
I get lost in the back of the booth, clear my thoughts
And then I punch on the mic, Zach Galifinakis
Then I build on the beat like Tha Carter was backwards
And imagine all of the plaques and accolades that I’m gonna have hanging on my wall
But for now I’m still writing in the car park at Macca’s
Pre-Chorus [Sun Light]:
I just think I’m a little underrated
When I drop a song, you guys don’t even play it
But I don’t care if I’m not in your playlist
Cause I know that all I need is my hunger and patience
Chorus [Sun Light]:
(What that get for me?) Longevity
(What that do for me?) Longevi- Longevity
(What that get for me? What that do for me?)
This a game of longevity, I’m staying so you better get used to me
(What that get for me?) Longevity
(What that do for me?) Longevi- Longevity
(What that get for me? What that do for me?)
This a game of longevity, I’m staying so you better get used to me
Verse 2 [Jehry Robinson]:
A game of longevity, honestly I’m speaking fundamentally
I’m just tryna be around for centuries
Eventually these entities’ll never get a cent from me
Taking all my dollars and it really don’t make sense to me
Gotta be the bigger man, leave it there, yea
Don’t say nothing, let ‘em stare, damn
Bitch I’m out here living on a prayer
How a little dog gon’ fuck with a bear?
Ooh, why’s it gotta be like that? Everywhere I go, same thing all the time
Why you gotta be like that? Everywhere I go, same thing on my mind
I’m just tryna last for a long time (long time)
I’m just tryna last forever
I’m just tryna last for a long time (long time)
Tryna last forever
Yea, I’m just tryna do my thing, no matter what I think
But everything I bring will last forever
Tryna get this cash forever, put a ring on the finger, get that ass forever, yea
I don’t know if there’s a problem with me
But at least y’all are riding with me, uh, uh, uh, uh
And I know that y’all gon’ probably kill me
But this music is surviving with me, go
Pre-Chorus [Sun Light]:
I just think I’m a little underrated
When I drop a song, you guys don’t even play it
But I don’t care if I’m not in your playlist
Cause I know that all I need is my hunger and patience
Chorus [Sun Light]:
(What that get for me?) Longevity
(What that do for me?) Longevi- Longevity
(What that get for me? What that do for me?)
This a game of longevity, I’m staying so you better get used to me
(What that get for me?) Longevity
(What that do for me?) Longevi- Longevity
(What that get for me? What that do for me?)
This a game of longevity, I’m staying so you better get used to me
Outro [Sun Light]:
Yea, you better get used to me
When I rip it so clever and ruthlessly
See I even got Jehry to root for me
Let me show you how to be a veteran booth MC
If I stick with it I’ll be better than you could be
So I can’t stop now, tell ‘em exclusively
Keep executing as I pen ‘em in beautifully
Envision the hoop I need and then I’mma shoot for three
