Andy Warhol

[Intro: Interviewer, Andy Warhol, XV]
"Uh, Andy, if this, ah
Segment that we did here now
Had been for a film of yours
What would it represent?"
"Uh, faking it for television"
Uh
Yeah

[Verse 1: XV]
Drop the top on that Continental GT
Ridin' through, let everybody see, he
That dude killing cyphers at award shows on BET
I spit like twenty-four bars, they told me only sixteen
But gave 'em one whole minute 'cause they gave me only fifteen
So in the meantime and in the between time
I had hoes that pick and rolled 'cause I was getting screen time
With TV commercials, everybody tellin' me, "Awesome"
Even Joey was like "Woah!" I was startin' to blossom
The money was finally talkin', and often I heard what it was sayin'
But I was more 'bout makin' history than conversation
Especially when you know how much time you wastin'
And then you started racin' before your time run out

[Pre-Chorus: XV]
Uh
You got fifteen minutes to shine, boy, you better show out
Uh
Everybody want a piece of that limelight, you better get up

[Chorus: Slim the Mobster]
They say ya got fifteen minutes
To shine, so I'ma grind like ain't no time left
Yes, they say I got fifteen minutes
To shine, so I'ma ball 'til I foul out, no ref
They say I got fifteen minutes
And I'ma get it 'cause the sky's the limit, ya hear me?
I only got fifteen minutes
All I need is fifteen minutes
(Andy Warhol)

[Verse 2: XV]
Niggas wanna be pop icons on they dot coms
Stuntin' like they pop Dom and livin' with they pop's mom
You are not a rapper just because you turned a mic on
Like you are not a blogger just because you bought a Nikon
Hate to crush your dreams, but sometimes you gotta hurt
To see if they get up, I overcame so many hurdles
Grew up around shells and dudes with bandanas
Damn, you would think I talkin' 'bout Ninja Turtles
Ha, uh, big kid from a small town
With a hat they called a crown and a world they called round
Now, he leaps tall buildings in small bounds
Give me fifteen minutes 'fore it all falls down
And labels don't come around but what can they say?
They give one hit wonders one million, that shit cray
Then you get fifteen minutes once that hit fades
I'll paint your picture 'fore you get to the grave and then your time run out

[Pre-Chorus: XV]
Uh
You got fifteen minutes to shine, boy, you better show out
Yep
Everybody want a piece of that limelight, you gotta get up

[Chorus: Slim the Mobster]
They say ya got fifteen minutes
To shine, so I'ma grind like ain't no time left
Yes, they say I got fifteen minutes (Yeah, yeah)
To shine, so I'ma ball 'til I foul out, no ref (Yeah, whoa)
They say I got fifteen minutes (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I'ma get it 'cause the sky's the limit, ya hear me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I only got fifteen minutes
All I need is fifteen minutes
(Andy Warhol)
