| Song | Longevity |
| Artist | Too Short |
| Album | Can't Stay Away |
| 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 $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 | |
