Longevity Lyrics - Can't Stay Away - Too $hort

Ah, yeah 

Scarface, Short Dog 

Yeah, ah, longevity 

Uh, fake niggas 

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 Short told me this bitch, it wasn't givin' 

'Cause I'm sick and tired of niggas fantasizin' they livin' 

All on the television tryna 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 

You don't get shit for free 

Your own destiny 

Longevity, longevity 

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 tryna 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 

Slingin' tapes like powder 

Everything I own is mine 

Don't understand 'ours' 

This is 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 

You don't get shit for free 

Your own destiny 

Longevity, longevity 

You don't get shit for free 

Your own destiny 

Longevity, longevity 

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 Short 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 

You don't get shit for free 

Your own destiny 

Longevity, longevity 

You don't get shit for free 

Your own destiny 

Longevity, longevity
