paroles de chanson Longevity - Talib Kweli

Hey dig it
I feel, that actions speak louder than words
Words can be decieving
Often they can really hide one's feelings
You know man what you say is (?)
What you do, that's what really means something
(Madlib)
Longevity, man
We gonna be in the building forever man
We been here since (?) and panty loafers man
Since people was giving gills
And smacking you in the back of you neck for saying something stupid
We gon' be here till (?) got a thot
In the flying car getting their shit popping drinking (?) man
(?) in the building
Madlib invasion
Kwe', talk to these niggas man
One time
Brooklyn

(Talib Kweli)
Uh
How he stay makin' that paper? It's longevity
How he stay shakin' them haters? It's longevity
How he stay killin' 'em stages? It's longevity
Your favorite rapper' favorite rapper (Uh)

They say gangster rap is violent, misogynistic, offensive (Ah)
They say conscious rap is corny and condescendin' (Ah)
But what's more condescendin' then niggas who dissin' poor people?
It's pure evil, nah, nigga, I'm your equal
Unless we talkin' skills on this mic; my shit is state of art
When real niggas rappin', just shut the fuck up and play your part
You just an actor, you clearly need some direction
Like Tyrone look at crackers, consider this intervention (C'mon)
Actions speak louder than words, my shit is deafenin'
In love with the flow but later you get the messages
Uh, they self-centered as Ayn Rand
These fountainhead niggas is part of the master plan
Shit is cold, make 'em shiver like winters in Pakistan
I make a crack, like my leather was patent by Dapper Dan, man

(Madlib)
Talkin' about keeping it official
I'm tryna tell you
You got two eyes, two ears, one mouth
You should be listening and looking
Twice as much as you fucking talkin'
But you not, you not
That's why you not gonna last
That's why LONGEVITY
Is not part of your future
That's why y'all one hit wonders is only gonna one hit and wonder
Why the thought hits and one wonders why this nigga made a dope jam
And fell off next summer
I can rhyme too! I can rhyme too

(Talib Kweli)
My career is the proof of my longevity
And now you darin' the fruit of my longevity (Uh)
I solo act and regroup, it's longevity (C'mon)
I spit the truths at the youth, it's longevity (Yo)
No surprises, so pay attention, it's clear to me
This is Masters of Chiassis, life is not what it appear to be
I'm not your favorite rapper, your favorite rapper is scared of me
I light 'em up like matches, my passion is like my kerosene
Fossil fuels, crew copy like cockatoos
My word is flesh like Jesus and his Apostle Jews
Makin' it possible (What?)
For you to recognize the God in you
And stop being primitive like a cop or two
Chop at you like I'm throwin' balls
Off the dome, my ex always decide on the sex like a Y chromosome
She home alone like Macaulay, she by the phone waitin' (Yeah)
My catalogue is a cornerstone, I'm so amazin' (Yeah)
Get it? Too late, we on the next bar
I'm from the planet of Brooklyn, it's like the Death Star
Yes, yes, y'all
(Madlib)
Longevity
I'm tryna tell y'all man
We talkin' about two decades man
Death taxes and Kweli bars
That's all you can really expect in life man
That's all you can look forward to
You know what I mean?
Y'all careers ain't lasted 20 months
Not 20 months
I know pregnancies last longer
Little kid was born with teeth in his mouth man
And had harder bars than you
(?) Madlib invasion
Longevity, we ain't going nowhere!
