Jackson Whalan - The Long Game Lyrics
Official




I've seen them rise to fame then they burn up in flames
While I'm in it for the long game
It's the long game
I've seen them rise to fame then they burn up in flames
While I'm in it for the long game
It's the long game
Take your head and lift it up listen up
Ain't no way your giving up after putting in this much
Time money energy persistence but is it luck?
I'm still sticking to what my mission was
Which is giving love
To the people all around me with this music dream
Can't do it by yourself you gotta build a team
Watch an artist come up quick and then catch a buzz
Just as quick turn into someone who once was
But who am I? Stinging like a bee
Floating a like butterfly You only get one try
As a young guy I had my hopes set high
They told me I would blow up overnight and I believed the lie
But I'm staying at it reeking havoc, ride or die
Living and breathing rap notebook by my side
And It's my time now I have no fears
I been doing this for years alongside my peers
And we pray for each other's success
A lot of days of the week we ain't getting no rest
And if you can relate you know that time is the test
So If you're in for the long game your gonna get blessed
I've seen them rise to fame then they burn up in flames
While I'm in it for the long game
It's the long game
I've seen them rise to fame then they burn up in flames
While I'm in it for the long game
It's the long game
Everybody at the bars on a Friday night
While I'm in the the lab getting my bars right
Hard type lyricism I watch my mind reveal
Saying what I feel ain't no 360 deal
But you know I still want that mass appeal
And I'm gonna keep grinding till the cash is real
But if I ruled the world I would give it all to charity
Cuz I wanna help humanity before this earth buries me
If I ever make it I'll do something that matters
Like go save some lives from natural disasters
And that's why I'm happy that I own all my masters
This music is my therapy when my world shatters
In this career you gotta have close friends next to you
And watch the fake ones show up when your successful
Now your biggest haters all the sudden start to text you
And every single ex you had wants to caress you
No need to make a checklist of those who neglect you
Just be the best you don't let it effect you
That's why you gotta remember why you're in this
Bear witness long game turning music into business
I've seen them rise to fame then they burn up in flames
While I'm in it for the long game
It's the long game
I've seen them rise to fame then they burn up in flames
While I'm in it for the long game
It's the long game
