Longevity Lyrics

    Ah yeah

    Scarface
    Short dog

    Yeah

    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 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

    {kb:}
    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 :}
    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 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]
