Benny the Butcher
Longevity
[Intro: Benny the Butcher]
Ayy, on some G shit
Lookin' back, I can't see
How I was runnin' 'round riskin' my freedom like that
Just to ball for a couple of summers
(La Musica de Harry Fraud)

[Verse 1: Benny the Butcher]
I broke bread and shared plates with the n***as y'all call legends
Y'all too loud when y'all walk in the rooms, it's our presence
My body language just as loud as my voice and they all catch it, huh
All I do is look and that send them a small message
Now that's a boss, huh? (Huh) Y'all lil n***as got that word backwards
Phoenix, I rose from the burnt ashes
Trap full of burnt plastic, with a coffee blender, I can work magic
But I made a fortune off my first classic (The Butcher comin', n***a)
Let me finish, paranoia, that's what them felonies got me
I fell back from that, and this what longevity got me (This what longevity got me)
Foreigns in my yard, got neighbors in my residence watchin' (Skrrt)
I'ma be stuntin' like this until I'm seventy probably, longevity

[Chorus: Benny the Butcher & French Montana]
Grind and make sure your cash the strongest
But it's still 'bout who lasts the longest, this real shit (Still 'bout that, n***a)
I watched n***as cop trucks off hustlin', not luck (Playin' to be in the streets, n***a)
Would only ball for a summer, next one, they locked up (How you run the streets from a prison cell?)
Longevity, grind and make sure your cash the strongest (Huh)
But it's still 'bout who lasts the longest, this real shit (I seen the hoes you waitin' on)
I watched n***as cop trucks off hustlin', not luck (Montana)
Would only ball for a summer, next one, they locked up (You gotta play for keeps)
Longevity
[Verse 2: French Montana]
Talkin' mills, I got six cash, Slick Rick chain, mink drag (Woo)
Pockets pokin' like Kim ass
My garage look like Six Flags (Ah)
Flip work look like gym class (Ah)
Praise due to the highest, six sittin' on Len Bias
Drug dealers was the heroes (Ayy), preachers was the liars
Can't deny us, got the ladder, feel the hinges (Bling)
My lawyer Jewish, bond Muslim, shoes Christian
The vision is, we deep water with no fishin' gears (Woo)
Sellin' dreams, I was missin' ears (Woo), that's why my n***a Max missin' years
My Hollywood thing say she love me, kinda cold
I don't believe her, she a actress, ten Golden Globes (Golden Globe)
But I'ma do her, fuck it, I'ma hit and dump it (Bah)
She tryna kiss in public, I Goyard the luggage (Ah)
And nah, they don't love us, that's why we on the covers
Floor by the buzzers, stars wanna cuff us (Hanh)

[Chorus: Benny the Butcher & Jim Jones]
Grind and make sure your cash the strongest
But it's still 'bout who lasts the longest, this real shit
I watched n***as cop trucks off hustlin', not luck
Would only ball for a summer, next one, they locked up
Longevity, grind and make sure your cash the strongest (Everybody want longevity)
But it's still 'bout who lasts the longest, this real shit (Can you persevere?)
I watched n***as cop trucks off hustlin', not luck (That's why you gotta stay ready like the hearse is near)
Would only ball for a summer, next one, they locked up (Uh, Capo)
Longevity
[Verse 3: Jim Jones]
Bahamian water, sippin' the Miami and Vice (Virgin)
Jumpin' back on the jet with so much sand in my Nikes (No socks)
It's a difference from the 'jects, beefin' with the hammers in sight (Boom, boom, boom)
Where every week, somebody get killed, that's more candles than light (Pray for 'em)
I'm screamin', "Call your bet out" as I shake my hand with the dice (God)
If you a hustler in these streets, well, here's some candid advice (Listen up)
Dope is a iPhone wet, to save it, you jam it in rice (Silly)
But you probably never cooked up a thousand grams of the white (Fuck 'em)
Seems to–, seems to me you just a fan of this life (Cappin')
Plus your diamonds only dance when you stand in the light (Nasty)
And when calamity strikes, it's usually when fortune is close
In the same breath, I know n***as that went from fortune to broke, uh-huh (You better hold on tight)
New convictions turn to crucifixions (You hear me?)
For us exploitin' people for they true addictions (They need to fix)
So in turn, they choose to judge us by the coupes we whippin' (Skrrt, skrrt)
I watched the kids bein' lied to by computer addiction (Straight lies)
I say (Propaganda), that the 'Gram is a lie (Facts)
As I cross my heart, I put my hand in the sky (Uh-huh)
Used to bake with that soda just like Canada Dry (Huh)
Opponents in my way, they need to stand to the side (Move along)
I watched 'em fall to the pride right before the fall or the rise (Uh huh)
I remember Dope Stacks took an enormous fall for the guys (Stacks, I miss you)
I seen mothers fall to the floor and call to the sky
'Cause to get the call that he died, there's not a law that abide (Not at all, uh)
I'm fuckin' with y'all
'Fore I have the homies to start buckin' at y'all (Doot, doot, doot, doot)
Shit, let me stop (Yeah)
