MaxPtah, Blueprint - The Long Game (Full Range Frequency ) lyrics

A longshot yo, they said I was a longshot
And said it loud enough for me to hear
"He gon’ flop he got skills but gon’ flop
He won’t be around next year"
I wasn’t shocked yeah
I was mad but wasn’t shocked
At being slept on by my peers
I never stopped, kept pushing
And never stopped
And now I’m the one still here
With no idea what these men talking ‘bout
Volunteering information laying on
Vlad’s couch
Couldn’t keep silent, now visited by violence
On WorldStar, smacked in the mouth huh
Hey bitches, if you’re gonna burn bridges
At least walk across before it’s burned
Instead, you light the match with
Gasoline on your pants
‘Cause you haven’t learned to
Think long-term now

The long game always play the long game
Never for the temporary gain
The long game always play the long game
Never lose your soul chasing fame

"That boy’s soft" They would say
"That boy’s soft
He wasn’t making music for the streets"
"Turn him off" They would always turn him off
Nobody want to hear him get deep "You’re no
Boss" They would tell him, "You’re no boss"
While he was writing checks to
His peeps the whole
Cost he would cover the whole cost
And sacrifice so everyone could eat huh
What do you do when worst comes to worst?
It’s evident to me that my people come first
You rob everybody so they don’t rob you first
Steal a glass of water
Yet still die of thirst
There’s no future in praising
The shooter while the
Victim’s still lying on the floor
But what’s sympathy when you end up in prison
Spending years washing somebody’s
Drawers? Now

The long game always play the long game
Never for the temporary gain
The long game always play the long game
Never lose your soul chasing fame
