Too Short - Longevity текст песни

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 cant seem to keep your money, cause youre buyin rings

What is you gettin, 7 or 6, new record contract?

Bustin your bomb raps, but you aint 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 wasnt givin

Cause Im sick and tired of niggas fantasizin they livin

All on the tell-lie-vision tryina front like thats your car

With a fat-ass cigar, you aint 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 dont 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 its 98, Im 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, its all about the money

And then the power (money and the power)

Slingin tapes like powder

Everything I own is mine, dont understand ours

Thiss 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, its plenty fools dope without a dime

So Im tight with mines, and I prove that every time

Just to let you niggas know Im out to get mine

Thats 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

Im 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 aint got no hoes committin foul play

Hatin on me, but youre waitin to see

Old school too $hort in the place to be

I aint backstage chasin young girlies

Im chasin money, Im in my early 30s

Still sellin records, and Im still a real player

Cant understand how you still could be a hater

Said I dont stop rappin from the start

If you dont believe me, go check the charts

Bitch

[chorus]
