[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)
