I brought you something close to me And left with something new Nothing to do but believe
And please don't confuse me with dog, I'm different Long Term Mentality, still remember them cheap wood benches How could I ever forget, I never could get How niggas couldn't get up and get all they could get Man I done seen a thing or two of things that he or she'll do To fit in with each other nitpickin' at each other Killin' each other, bringin' each other down Crustations in a bucket, fuck it Roll your windows down in your bucket, play this loud Soul brother number fuckin' two My time on these 1's and 2's I'm on this track like runnin' shoes I dedicate this one to Cletus Anderson for workin' harder than the average man Or bend over backwards for his family Do whatever it is you ask for him Shit, I know he fuckin' tired He should be somewhere retired Still tryin', bills still due And between me and you until we get a mill
[Hook: Ab-Soul and Pat Brown] Long term (This is long term!) Long term (I hope you love it, cause I'm thinkin' long term) Long term (I came, I saw, and conquered) Mentality, mentality, long term (And it's an honor) Long term (To share this with you, wait no longer) Long term (Mother fucker this is long term) Mentality, mentality, long term
