Lyrics | [Verse 1: Nature] At the ripe age of 24, I done seen it all, done it all Some dreams stay fresh and some are spoiled Dealin' with time, winter, spring, summer, fall It's crazy changes, is this that made me famous? I come a long way from Timbs, minimum wages Stockin' caps, summer jobs, pockets flat It's funny how my childhood idols now be coppin' crack I ain't knockin' that, unfortunately, life's too short to see It's only right we move accordingly at every second I use to carry heavy weapons Previously cocked, tucked in my shirt for every session But hold up, a 2-6 bid made me grow up Came home to the same damn dreams with no luck And half the clique's strong, the other half moved on Some with new lives and new wives, niggas live long The foulest thing about time - it still ticks when you gone [Verse 2: Nas] For those who live the way I live, we came a long way From wipin' cold outta eyelids to rap's hottest Smokin' lye, let track guide us Remember back then before MAC-10's, expensive bottles? Had a sick mind, niggas taught me how to get mine We'd often sip quarts, they get tossed at the spit line To all niggas that the Lord seemed to gip for their time While we plan to live forev', he had a different design Is it safe to say, we all perish on the sacred day? With my luck, soon as I reach the gate, they make me pay Pray, minutes go by, Indigo high The specialist, decked out dark specs, finessin' it Used to play catch-a-kiss, same girls back then Now, leave us messages, a whole lot Travel to my old spot where we sold rock, although it's trifle Ain't nothin' changed, just like time, it's all a cycle [Verse 3: AZ] Yo, wake up to the world, stay in charge of your dreams Keep your vision, focus, get wise, enlargen your cream Marketin' schemes, so many in the dark is unseen Caught in between, perhaps rap was a fortunate thing Forced to be king from hustlin', supportin' them fiends Bustin' guns, I had no remorse as a teen Rockin' birth stones, my first skid bid, nurse the dome It hurts to zone, now I've realized, I'm on this Earth alone Time ticks, devilish mind design tricks Leave you blind quick and cause you to die behind shit Mathematics, master 120, I'm Asiatic Amazed with magic 'cause it's illusions that made me savage Life change once you establish the right game Love the night rain, found a new way to fight pain Clocks never stop, it's all a race to the top Tryin' to freeze time, that's why I iced the face of my watchYou might also like |
