lirik lagu melvillous – how long?
[verse 1]
you call it destiny
i used to be like you
no-one could question me
until by wistle got blown by the referee
like ”how many songs do i really have left in me?”
i stay consistent, i was everything you’re meant to be
i gain widsom from my failures and there’s strength in me
i put my time in, i was slaving over melodies
and came up with a formula, the fans, they respected me
i started spazzing with flows, tallying shows
up and down these valleys and roads, travelling loads
willing to do everything most of these rappers won’t
i was shaking hands in every city that i could go
replying in detail to dms and emails
a couple times i had to respectfully block a female
i gave my whole life to this, i d-mn near died for this
and what do i get? no refund or resale
how many times have spent my last dime, borrowed some dough and promised myself it was the last time”?
i’m fed up of everyone saying this is our time
the only thing my mandem are seeing is hard times
gotham city menace, i feel like the dark knight
ain’t a bullet in this world could silence my heart’s cry
for years i’ve been waiting, the ceiling just caved in
it’s just another story of a kid who never made it (never made it, made it)
[chorus]
can you tell me how long?
i’ve been grindin’ so long, writing song after song
can you tell me how long?
like can you tell me how long?
please tell me how long (please tell me how long)
i’m just tryna live right
lord, is that so wrong?
can you tell me how long? (can you tell me how long?)
how long?
[verse 2]
i’m runnin’ empty
i feel it daily, now the devil’s tryna tempt me
he’s tryna get me to fold
tryna bend me
but not all that glitters is gold
gucci or fendi
still in the ends, g
still on the block with these habits i’m tryna stop
for this mission i hope he sends me
fovever waitin’ my turn
i want the pay i desevre
instead i’m battlin’ with bitterness an’ envy
i spent nights just praying for some success
praying that i’ll step on the road, choosin’ my best quest
remain humble but some fools just love stress
i be layin’ low cause no man is above death
i’m tryna l-st less
appreciate a woman walking in her sundress
not picturing her undressed
i’m suffering from numbness
there’s nothing wrong with the pursuit of happiness but don’t get wrappped up in the dumbness
they wanted me to chase clout
but i ain’t gettin’ on my knees for no man
you better show me to the way out
been figuring this game out
if a door opens, it’s for me
if i have to force it open that’s a fake route
i’m straight back to workin’
straight back to merkin’
waitin’ for the day that god draws back them curtains
the only thing for certain is the reason for my birth
coulda quit a thousand times but i’ll leave it in the verse, yeah (verse, yeah, verse, yeah)
[chorus]
can you tell me how long? (how long?)
i’ve been grindin’ so long, writing song after song
can you tell me how long? (how long?)
like can you tell me how long? (how long?)
please tell me how long (please tell me how long)
i’m just tryna live right
lord, is that so wrong?
can you tell me how long? (can you tell me how long?)
how long?
can you tell me how long?
i’ve been grindin’ so long, writing song after song
can you tell me how long? (can you tell me how long?)
like can you tell me how long?
please tell me how long (please tell me how long)
i’m just tryna live right
lord, is that so wrong?
can you tell me how long? (can you tell me how long?)
how long?
