 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

 {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 $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
