Kinetik - As Long As I Live lyrics

[Verse 1: Kinetik] I started rapping as a kid, I was a hit in school Fast forward I'm the object of ridicule And some will reckon that my prospects are minuscule Forever slow and they're wishing that I never blow So I try and plan for the future Starving artist, I'm branded a loser So I can either keep it real or eat a meal For now I'm snacking on cans of tuna Then I remember the days of my youth My friends at the parties and raising the roof I was hustling pennies just to make it to the booth And lay a couple of verses, some would say it was worthless Under the surface my focus and drive Said to open my eyes and to go for the prize Before I turn ghost in the sky So whenever you hear this flow just know that hope is alive [Hook: Tone Richardson] We're gonna make it somehow, cause you know we're gonna make it You know we're gonna make it someday We're gonna make it somehow, cause you know we're gonna make it You know we're gonna make it someday [Verse 2: Kinetik] Another month with another bank statement I'm in the red with no money in my savings Not to mention I don't have a pension I'm at the show getting “no's” at the entrance Am I an underachiever I guess so when I'm looking at the funds on my Visa And some folk will only praise you when you're hot Not when you're scraping the pot and tryna make it to the top And even though I've never slept round a gutter I still feel as though I let down my mother I could've been a doctor or lawyer or such Accumulating six figures and raking in big business But then again my focus and drive Said to open my eyes and to go for the prize Before I turn ghost in the sky So whenever you hear this flow just know that hope is alive [Hook] [Bridge: Tone Richardson & Joanne Francis] We're gonna make it some how Some way, some how We're gonna make it some how Hey, we're gonna make it [Outro: Tone Richardson] Gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it [Oh, we're gonna make it] Gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it [Hey, we're gonna make it] Gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it [Oh, we're gonna make it] Gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it [Hey, we're gonna make it] Gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it [We're gonna make it] Gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it [We're gonna make it] Gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it [I feel it in my bones] Gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it [Hey, we're gonna make it] Gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it [We're gonna make it] Gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it [I believe] Gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it [We're gonna make it] Gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it
