Lyrics:
This is for the 90s, rewind it to the Mecca
when New York is untouchable, like The L.O.X. trifecta
My vision is independent the black Tribecca
Determines the place you go to
To the naked, untrained eye
Who can't see time fly by
Revolving on a carousel
Living life like a modern day fairytale
don't mean to be a wiseguy officer
The honest truth, what really happened is
I just came from a plane from Dominican Republic
By the time I got
don't mean to be a wiseguy officer
The honest truth, what really happened is
I just came from a plane from Dominican Republic
By the time I got
say goodbye
You tryin to find your peace
The key’s to take your time
There’s nothing happy bout a last hoorah
This is it fam I’m past my prime
I’m
Look
Everyday is never promised
Who pavin' ways (Mmmm)
I see my blessings go by
But chasin' ain't the game (Okay)
It's only right you keep quiet
confederation
When they lock my ass up only time I seen segregation
Black prisoners white correction officers
Modern day slavery continues to torture us
We get
Under modern martial law
No mind alive
I'm monologuing
Wasp to hives
And
No shuck jiving
Black and Proud and
Daily Striving
I be flying
Time is
like leeches
Placed in thee by worldly empty things
I know it's hard not wallow in the filth of this post modern nightmare
Or dive
Head first into apathy
.
TAKE AWAY MY EDUCATION
PHD INDOCTRINATION
PUT ME IN A TREE
AND MONKEY ME
BURNT OUT BY THE SIMULATED
GET ME OUT OF THIS MODERN CAGE
STRIP ME BACK
Chillin, cleaning the pinkie
Hey Brother J, time for a ride
Put the key, to the ignition, and then..
[Brother J]
Ah yes yes blue, ah come on to go
We're
to shine
It's time to shine
It's time to shine
It's time to shine
Hand meet the pen, pen meet my pad
The key is expression, it's in my blood to preach that
She can tell by the car, double R on the plate
Rolls Royce over those Black Market bumping in the Wraith
Rich nigga with poor taste, starve while
In a modern age
Dance before the storm
Don't look back to where you've been
The horror's even further
As the sands of time run thin
Dance before
hell is a vision in a mind making some due time
I'm like that, so peep my format
I'm like that
So peep my format, black
I'm like that
So peep my
Poisonous stin', which thumps up and act chumps
Rae's a heavy generator, but yo, guess who's the black Trump?
Dough be flowin' by the hours, Wu, we got
Poisonous sting, which thumps up and act chumps
Rae's a heavy generator, but, yo, guess who's the black Trump?
Dough be flowin' by the hours, Wu, we got
It’s a lot of pain in my city I’m just Trying to make a change in my city Yea
It’s a lot of pain in my city well it’s Time we take a stand in my city
I contemplate, the way I'll dominate the modern day
I gotta find a way
I hear my conscience saying "andale, don't you be on delay"
I got no time
(Listen)
Death by lyrical injection
I kill you rappers
A lotta green with a yellow complexion
Women call me the Green Bay Packer
I pack the zero's, meaning
just cut the news on
Black Power Black Lives Matter
They didn't hear us the first time so say it louder
Black Power Black Lives Matter
Im just a symbol
understand what it means to be black?
I have my man the Notorious B.I.G in the back
I go by the name of the Puff Daddy
But check this shit out
Four, five
slackin', man, zippin' in the black Range
Faster than the red ghost, gettin' ghost wit' Pac, man
One time, know a got a knack to get that change
Leader
the hatred, the priest hit
Time sure flies, look how many years went by
My young niggas already need hair dye
Alcoholic faces, women bad as a mug
Gettin' fat
