Long Time

Okay, Okay,
walking along this road for a long time
Do you mind if I take a step back around your way like,
have you been wondering where I've been or not
or not
have you been me asking if any are you ok
like manny are you ok, ok,
ok, ok
manny are you ok....

I been doing this for a long time
still got the juice
still got the juice
still got the moves
still got the moves
I can not lose
I been doing this for a long time
still got the juice,
still got the juice
still got the moves
still got the moves
I can not lose

Started out in my mommas basement
16 when I Pressed record
Rapping over Nas instrumentals
Used to get them from the record store
Back when cassette tapes popped
Boy biggie Pac and Escobar
About the time when that Jay dropped
had a Holy bible in my dresser drawer
Hold up now wait a minute
Back then it was no record deals
I tunes no red carpets no billboard
No Mass appeal
Church thought that we was to Carnal
World thought that we was too corny
Beatboxing on the lunch table
boy tell them welcome to the new 40

I been doing this for a long time
still got the juice
still got the juice
still got the moves
still got the moves
I can not lose
I been doing this for a long time
still got the juice,
still got the juice
still got the moves

I can not lose

20 years 10 albums in
over 30 tours on the fact sheet
Indonesia Australia Africa Athens Greece
Four Stellars Grammy nods
my career was moving at a fast pace
Before chance the rapper did how great
you did a tour with Kirk 85 dates
First album dropped in 04
Now I'm trying to grow the genre up
I was paired with the pioneers and I seen them build it from the Bottom up
Truth bragging truth boasting
Never that rules broken
I'm just trying to introduce myself to the new culture
Move over boy

I been doing this for a long time
still got the juice
still got the juice

Let's take it up a few notches
All da stuff that I accomplished
Boy you no that don't mean a thing if I don't introduce who my God is
I just know that my God is
the Only reason I got this
My bank account don't define me
even if it'shurting my pockets
It's ok if I take a L
At least I got a clear Concisence
Walk away like Dave Chappelle
Principle over profit
Compromise not an option
South bound on my compass
No credit for my talents
Bow down to his highness

He been riding w me for da whole time
Lay it down, put it all on the line
He been shining,
He the greatest all time
He been right here with me for the whole time
