|
Longevity |
|
Fake niggas... |
|
{scarface:} |
|
And you can tell em i said it |
|
I said muthafuckas is takin the credit |
|
Been in the game for 20 minutes, and they thinkin they legends |
|
All on their videos showin off, frontin for the camera |
|
One-hit wonders is playin games, fakin stamina |
|
I damage ya, throwin blows to your egos |
|
Flossin new leather, think you the shit wearin these clothes |
|
And supposed to flash and have the finer things |
|
But can't seem to keep your money, cause you're buyin rings |
|
What is you gettin, 7 or 6, new record contract? |
|
Bustin your bomb raps, but you ain't gettin your funds back |
|
Fuck that, i been around since '86 |
|
Way before my muthafuckin mind played tricks |
|
And when too $hort told me this bitch, it wasn't givin |
|
Cause i'm sick and tired of niggas fantasizin they livin |
|
All on the tell-lie-vision tryina front like that's your car |
|
With a fat-ass cigar, you ain't no muthafuckin star |
|
What you are is a nigga lost, dazed and confused |
|
Back in the day that you stepped in it is the day that you do |
|
But on the cool, some niggas been around since the '70s |
|
Steadily preachin to us all longevity |
|
[chorus] |
|
You don't get shit for free |
|
Your own destiny |
|
Longevity |
|
Longevity |

|
10 years ago a friend of mine |
|
Asked me to say some mc rhymes |
|
But back then i said: fuck rhymin, i was tryina get laid |
|
But now it's '98, i'm all about gettin paid |
|
Fuck that bullshit you niggas be on in your videos |
|
Drive the shit your c.e.o. own |
|
In their home, at their parties, you niggas dummies |
|
Muthafucka, fuck the fame, it's all about the money |
|
And then the power (money and the power) |
|
Slingin tapes like powder |
|
Everything i own is mine, don't understand 'ours' |
|
This's a serious business |
|
My nigga, take care of your business |
|
Especially you niggas with gimmicks, your ass is finished |
|
In the nick of time, fuck havin the tightest rhymes |
|
You better grind, it's plenty fools dope without a dime |
|
So i'm tight with mines, and i prove that every time |
|
Just to let you niggas know i'm out to get mine |
|
That's longevity |
|
[chorus] |
|
{too $hort:} |
|
Who got the freshman flop or the sophomore jinx |
|
Rappers blow up, fall off, and think |
|
Been there, done that, about to make a comeback |
|
I'm on some new shit, not like my young raps |
|
I know what you sold, first album went gold |
|
Then you changed the style, shoulda stuck with the old |
|
Flows, and the old clothes, cause now you fake |
|
You ain't got no hoes committin foul play |
|
Hatin on me, but you're waitin to see |
|
Old school too $hort in the place to be |
|
I ain't backstage chasin young girlies |
|
I'm chasin money, i'm in my early 30s |
|
Still sellin records, and i'm still a real player |
|
Can't understand how you still could be a hater |
|
Said i don't stop rappin from the start |
|
If you don't believe me, go check the charts |
|
Bitch |
|
[chorus] |
