Longevity by Kevin Detroit Lyrics
(Intro)
One , two

(Verse)
This ain’t no party anthem
I’m just doing the addressing
(Right)
The 012
A place that I’m forever gon’ be repping
(Right)
It’s only been a couple years
Since a boy started rapping
In that space of time
I’ve seen a whole lot of things happen
I’ve seen veterans burn out
Newbies go south
OGs fall back
(Yeah)
Junkies living hand to mouth
I’m the raps Dwayne Johnston
Got the whole game on my shoulders
I’m spitting heat
Planet earth is getting hotter
But the whole world’s getting colder
I've been rapping 'bout hardship
Please kill me
If you catch me rapping
‘Bout chains or soda
I’m tryna do this rap thing
Till I’m older
(Right)
I’m tryna do this rap thing
Till I buy pops a new rover
And get a handshake with Hovva
I’m tryna reach longevity
And to achieve longevity
You’ve gotta go through stages
My adversaries gon run up on me
To steal my notebook
Only to take a couple of pages
And use my bars
To save their own careers
My biggest fear is dying with all this potential
(Right)
Knowing that I’m not as influential
As these other rappers
Who were born in the same decade as me
But I ain’t mad
Nowadays we don’t buy music
We buy the brands
I’m tryna see ‘em rubber bands
And count em up with my bare hands
From dropping music that’s perfect mixed
Through Eq bands
I started from the bottom
Like a sandstorm that starts with
Wind and sand
I’m tryna carry weight
Like the upper hand
(Bridge)
(Uh uh uh uh)
Longevity
Longevity
Sing the hook
Let’s sing it
Let’s go
(Ohh)
(Hook)
1 2
I’m in this forever
5 6
I really mean forever
8 9
The games forever mine
8 9
The games forever ours
(Verse)
Freshest nigga out
I’ve got them second guessing
The pen game runs in the family
A biological blessing
And I’ma use it
To keep on expressing
Matters that are oppressing
Young adults and early adolescences
(For real)
Don’t keep your eggs in one basket
I did
And now I’ve gotta make sure that
All my ducks in a row
To see how much their worth
Then maybe one day
I’ll be as big as Kenny Duckworth
K Lamar
Or I might just
Even become a bigger star
Who knows what the future holds
As long as I keep selling records and
Never sell my soul
Then maybe one day
Ill be able to put my own clothing brand out
Sell my own kicks and soles
While trying to reach my own goals
I’m just tryna give hope to the kids
Like the fountains
They throw pennies in
I’m just tryna get all these pennies in
(Im tryna get all of these pennies in)
(Hook)
1 , 2
I’m in this forever
5 , 6
(six)
I really mean forever
8, 9
(Nine)
The games forever mine
8 , 9
(What?)
8 , 9
(For real)
The games forever mine
I said
1 , 2
I'm in this forever
I really mean forever
(I really mean forever)
8 , 9
The games forever mine
8 , 9
The games forever mine
Lil' nigga
(Outro)
The games forever mine
(lil nigga)
