[Intro: sample]
"That's right, baby"
I got a--" "I ain't lie!"
"I got a lot of good shit to tell you all"
"Ladies and gentlemen"
"This is the anthology"
"The anthology"
"We gon' talk about some things, we all can relate to
In the motherfuckin' house
What's up? What's up, nigga?
You got live motherfuckers in the house!
No doubt
Holding it down for my homie"
[Verse 1: Oh No]
It's been way – so long, too long, I fold 'em like a futon
Grey Poupon stains with the bullet while they cruise on
Your whole shit is coupons, we're the croutons
Break lettuce, or, nigga, move on
Your whole song is tap water, lukewarm
They wasn't using their brains, they smoked their Neutrons
Make way for the new Don
I feel as if I'm a King, a promoter with the Iron hitting like 2 bombs
(Mike Tyson!)
I'm sick, smoking trees in the Evolu' 1
Now here's to evolution
They wanna know what my crew's on
Murder you, find that new zone
Where they do wrong?
I swear that the game is looking like newborns
It's been too long, yeah
[Chorus: sample]
"Since you've been away so long..."
"Since you've been away so long..."
"Holdin' it down for my homie!"
[Verse 2: The Alchemist]
Fresh off the cul-de-sac
I'm rhymin' wild designs like the Cobra's back
Money comin' out my jeans, impossible to fold a stack (Impossible)
Military MAC-10, hang from the shoulder strap
From underneath the Pelle trench
With no delayin', I get to sprayin', leave your belly drenched
Pardon my French
But if a bitch ain't fuckin', she play the bench
I'm on some Dynamite Willie shit, one finger Philly split
Invazion, double Gang affiliate
Don't get it confused or twisted
So West my vocal booth view the Pacific
Paid every due that's listed
Time keeps slippin', don't mind me slippin'
Irie spliff when I'm diary scriptin', in the 5G dippin'
All of you monkey shines we liftin', mind ya business (Mind ya business!)
[Chorus: samples]
"Since you've been away so long..."
"Since you've been away so long..."
"Since you've been away so long..."
"Since you've been away so long..."
"Since you've been away so long..."
"Since you've been away so long..."
[Outro]
