Longevity

[Intro: Inspectah Deck]

Uh, yea.

In my time, I've seen a lot of people come and go.

A lot of new faces, been to a lot of new places.

Wherever we went, we always held it down.

While we conquered new grounds. It's a universal sound.

The Witty Unpredictable Talent And Natural Game.

Yo...

[Chorus (x2): Inspectah Deck]

Not many last in the game

Wu-Tang come through, breakin out the same way we came

This is not an act, this is actual facts

Nothin but experience placed upon the tracks

[Inspectah Deck]

We stand perpendicular with no flaws

Breakin all laws, plus jaws, the writin's on the walls

Heartless, starvin artists, out to get our's

Regardless, marvelous doctrines, we shock this

Fist of the black lotus, bustin out the steel cage

Iron Mic Duel made the front page

Outlaws, out for your's, get down on all fours

Rebel with a cause, without applause to the score

"Pillagin" with Donna-Cap, the personna raps

Hittin like a cornerback, blistered on the track

Fully-auto, got the mic blow, strike low

High-caliber flow move the crowd, twist your torso

2009, block party, Bobby Digital, pop corks to us

and the God's we trust, it's adjust

To the highs that we bring with the lows

In the midst of hell speakin out in morse code

Runnin wild like dogs out the kennel through the venue

Simple chemistry, vitamins plus the minerals

Organic vowels, consonants, syllables

Condition critical, ill individual

Paint a picture too vivid for the visual

Material rips through to the gristle

[Chorus (x2)]

[U-God]

Yo, the messages in my music grab you, stuck in my sentence

Got to spit from the bottom less pit, speakin my vengeance

Masked avenger never surrender my heritage

Killah Hill resident, 5'10" be my measurement

On land we stand under flags as confederates

You think you rule, pitty the fool when the shell drops

Hot bodies scream to the extreme, damn, I'm delicate

We livin irrevant, intelligent, dirty habit

They full of fragments, abandon all 10 commandments

Damage is done as the records spins, hatred in my features

Untamed, thus these cold blooded creatures bust

Architect gladiator radiates the power

Erupt with corrupt minds, locked in the tower

The crook's pressure cooked invasion be destroyed

Self-employed paranoid androids

[Inspectah Deck]

My rhyme cold winds clear streets and slams shutters

Basic Instinct to tear the roof off the mother

Drastic verbal gymnastics, far from the average

Hold the planet like Galactus

Lone Ranger ancester rolled with stone bangers

Never met a force deadly as my own anger

Clutch performer, raised on the blood soaked corners

A real life with real tight heads, that prey on ya

And not many last on the game

Whether it be lies, fly songs or drugs you slang

In the beginnin, it didn't come fast amongst the gun blast

Strivin, my eyes on lump sums of cash

Cash Rules Everything Around Me, surroundin me with champagne wishes

But I see long distance, a strong vision planted deep within the mental

Mind detect mind and analyze what I sent you

[Chorus (x2)]
