[Ab-Soul - Introduction lyrics]
Long term is defined as:
To mature over or after a
Relatively long period of time
To earn capital gain derived from
The sale or exchange
Of an asset held for a specified time
(This is Long Term) long term is defined as:
To earn capital gain
To mature over or after a
Relatively long period of time
Long term, long term
I know it's short notice (yeah)
But this is Long Term (yeah)
Don't make the wrong turn (Or, or)
You're all trapped in my circle of doom
Be aware, success'll be circling through
(yeah)
I puff a square for my niggas who ain't here
(Uh) to see me unbelievably make the
Unbelievable believe in me
Yeah, that's what I do times
2000 more than you (Than you, you)
In 2000 I was cool in '01 I had fun
In '02 I recorded my first song
And I was sprung (Uh)
In '03 I was deep in '04 I had flow
In '05 I signed to Street Beef for no dough
In '06 I met Punchline
Damn I thank Punchline
He saw more in my music
Than metaphors and punchlines
'07 dude Dawg told me I was family
And now it's '08, Long Term, bon appetite
This is Long Term i hope you love it cause
I'm thinking long term
I came, I saw, and conquered
And it's an honor
To share this with you, wait no longer
Mother fucker this is Long Term
Shout out to Top Notch
Cause they gon' ride for me
That special pinhead who stay by my side
Homie
Prospect holding a spot in the sky for me
That's on my life, real niggas never die
Homie
Now all eyes on me, I see you niggas watching
Hoping that Soul sell out
Like a fucking auction
I'm in the laboratory working
On a concoction
I ain't rapping, I'm a chemical reaction
To you niggas slackin'
Like suit bottoms, yo what's happening?
I'm back again
Dope shop open like a cabinet
Chauffeurs could get arrested
For trafficking me
Like I'm wrapped in vaseline and go
For 18 5 a key
At 18 I was a G, sneaking in clubs
Breaking down dubs and the
Whole hood showed love
Never thought I would make it
This far in this game
Now every bar is insane
But not the Long Beach game
And I don't need a big
Chain or Escalade on 6s
Cause I can roll with Juice and
Take all of your bitches
And you ain't never seen a
Top dog so vicious i'm a star
Right? Women hand me they wish-list
My reign is endless
You would need an umbrella that
Lasts forever to witness my lyrical fitness
My physical's eminent
I know Caucasians that compare me to Eminem
When he thought he was infinite
But this ain't 8 Mile and I ain't Rabbit
But ladies used to do me
Shady after math classes
Black lip bastard with black glasses
Bad habit's backing up in the back
Of cab stratus ass magic
I'm Jay, more graphic, uncensored
So if your kids have it homie
It's promotional use only
And after this you owe me
Like the letter after N my friend
I present Long Term, let's begin
