Longevity - K Rino

See you in a million years

Longevity

I see you in a million years, that is if you still here

Say, some of y’all just are arriving

So I’m obligated to familiarize you with where I’ve been

Subscribing to the sacrifice is usually the problem

Surviving and even thriving in the game that’s so conniving

The first thing that you should do, is make sure you

Study the history of artists who came before you

Their successes, their failures

See, there’s a lesson in every message they tell you, don’t let the stresses

derail you

The next phase essentially is finding your identity in the industry

Be patient cause it don’t happen instantly

It takes a lot of long nights

Make sure that when you song write, the words correspond with your own life

Then you might appeal to all ages

You gotta maintain the same flame when the game evolves and changes

You can last or be a one-hit wonder

Make the choice between being a sprinter or a marathon runner

Longevity, it ain’t about what people seeing now

It’s about how long will you be around

Never mind what you just made

Will you be relevant in a decade?

Longevity

The game will chew you up and spit you out

Don’t be that cat that folks forget about

Not everybody in this game is meant

Try not to be the dude who came and went

Definition of longevity

Means that folks will be steadily bumping you heavily even when you 70

Establish an eternal legacy, artistic equity

But long careers is what the average artist never see

Mastery of musical gospel

You don’t want to be that hot dude today and next year people forgot you

The gift that God gave you keep feeding it

Increasing your deepness by reading and challenging your level and exceeding it

Accomplishments you had, gotta put those in the past

Never being satisfied with what you did last

No relaxing or chilling even after the checks cash

The only thing that matters right now is the next task

When they say your new project’s your best, get mad

Then go back in the lab and surpass yourself fast

The key is to reap your skill and still keep it real

You last forever when you drop music that people feel

Longevity, it ain’t about what people seeing now

It’s about how long will you be around

Never mind what you just made

Will you be relevant in a decade?

Longevity

The game will chew you up and spit you out

Don’t be that cat that folks forget about

Not everybody in this game is meant

Try not to be the dude who came and went

Claiming the real state that you can drive in the earth

Do insert yourself and multiply your body at work

When you’re writing to save people with intelligent flows

The more you connect with them man your relevance grows

Yeah we want cash, but it’s bigger than having some ends

You gotta be able to see past the fads and the trends

In the conversations of greats I’ma consistently be

I want my fans' grandchildren to be listening to me

From my new music all the way to back in the days

And in my old age let them wheel me out on the stage

I want my hand to write every great creation it can

I thank God for the many generations I span

Last but not least, you doing good business, you maintain

Lifting one shoe out the game, quick as having a bad name

If you tough enough to fight through the failures you get stronger

Be the people what you want them to be, you’ll stay longer

Longevity, it ain’t about what people seeing no

It’s about how long will you be around

Never mind what you just made

Will you be relevant in a decade?

Longevity

The game will chew you up and spit you out

Don’t be that cat that folks forget about

Not everybody in this game is meant

Try not to be the dude who came and went
