Lyrics

It's been a long time coming

It's been a long time coming

So everybody wanna rap now

Get in the studio and try to lay a track down

Get on the stage and perform for a packed crowd

But how you plan to get fans with your wack sound?

Let's lay these cats down

It's been a long time coming

Everybody rapping, but they not saying nothing

Say they love music, but they keep bluffing

Instead of being real, they just keep fronting

Yo, picture me on an acid trip

Trying to get plastered quick like a heathen

Out looking for some hash to hit

Biting my nails down past the tip, dog, I'm fiending

Acting all little rash and shit

I didn't even have an ass to kiss or a pot to piss

Couldn't even see past a bitch

To watch rise and it's cash to get, dog, I mean it

Got off them drugs and picked up weight

Quit the stick ups, a quick update

All you dicks wanna step on stage like you spit stuff great

But so sweet that you hiccup cake

I been waiting for way too long just to get booed and shooed on

My crew's paid its dues, hope you fools will move on

Real recognize real now that you gone

Stayed in a short while, keep them shoes on

We rapped on the same streets you used to cruise on

You sound a little off, how you gon' put your dudes on?

Y'all **** lames undercover (That's right)

They call me Orville Redenbacher 'cause I'm popping corn motherfuckers

So everybody wanna rap now

Get in the studio and try to lay a track down

Get on the stage and perform for a packed crowd

But how you plan to get fans with your wack sound?

Let's lay these cats down

Check the six passenger van, it's wrapped in graphics

No baggage, travel light, clothes wrapped in plastic

We like B Street, and Rainbow made us matching jackets

One side got a name, we don't practice backflips

Or up rocking the streets for change

But we got some real fancy footwork that'll freeze the game

It's been a bitter cold winter, dog, but seasons change

So they got the rap game under siege again

It's been a shift in the paradigm, man

We going back to the golden era, so we steady walking a narrow line

I'm living proof that it can and it will happen

I been could've quit, but damn it, I'm still rapping

I'm stuck in the here and now

But I'm a product of a different place and time, it's realer now

My whole state of mind different, a little more pressure

The gear and style lifted, a little more fresher

Young bucks tried to tear me down

And the game tried for twenty years now, but couldn't wear me down

On some Verizon Wireless, you hear me now?

We all been through so much, but we still riding tireless

And even though the whole entire ville might admire us

I can't quit, this shit is in my blood like a virus

It's been a long time coming and we want our payment

Since forever, 'til forever, that's an understatement
