Ab-Soul - Introduction lyrics

[Intro] 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 a**et 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 [Verse 1] I know it's short notice But this is Long Term Don't make the wrong turn You're all trapped in my circle of doom Be aware, success'll be circling through I puff a square for my n***as who ain't here To see me unbelievably make the unbelievable believe in me Yeah, that's what I do times 2000 more than you In 2000 I was cool In '01 I had fun In '02 I recorded my first song, and I was sprung 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 [Hook] 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 f**er this is Long Term [Verse 2] 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 n***as never die, homie Now all eyes on me, I see you n***as watching Hoping that Soul sell out like a f**ing auction I'm in the laboratory working on a concoction I ain't rapping, I'm a chemical reaction To you n***as 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 b**hes 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 rapping But ladies used to do me shady after math cla**es Black lip ba*tard with black gla**es Bad habits backing up in the back of cab stratus a** 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 This is Long Term
