|
| [00:00.83] |
"Oh, it's you again! Don't you ever give up?" |
| [00:04.58] |
"At one time I thought of giving up, but now I think differently" |
| [00:08.44] |
"You can help change things, by learning more about your culture" "and believing in yourself." |
| [00:13.36] |
"Oh yeah? You gotta be joking." |
| [00:15.43] |
"It's no joke. Tell me!" |
| [00:19.71] |
Preemo! (Reks) |
| [00:25.73] |
("No time for looking back, it's done") Listen |
| [00:29.76] |
("You better take off, before I break off") |
| [00:32.57] |
("I don't give a ****, I don't play that ****") |
| [00:35.72] |
("No time for looking back, it's done") |
| [00:37.37][Verse 1] |
|
| [00:37.39] |
I'mma write this here rhyme like Guru's in the passenger Standin on the East Coast, starin out to Africa |
| [00:42.97] |
Accolades, Escalades fade |
| [00:44.40] |
My vernacular remain in tact for the generation that's comin after |
| [00:47.76] |
The average rapper you praise days numbered like a calendar |
| [00:50.30] |
Challengers caliber mediocre enter the catheter |
| [00:52.84] |
IV's, wrap 'em up, mad as ****, need a ladder up |
| [00:55.69] |
Escalator, elevator, skyscraper, hella haters |
| [00:58.22] |
On Preemo beats, meditate a bit to elevate my spit |
| [01:01.34] |
Scribble daily scripts, hell in wit |
| [01:02.87] |
Angels I strangle the instrument mangle chops, can't go pop |
| [01:05.94] |
I gotta remain boom bap, true that, who that be? |
| [01:08.38] |
Mr. "Say Goodnight", I'mma blaze the mic willingly |
| [01:10.82] |
Kill or be killed industry, and the realest of the real emcees |
| [01:13.41] |
Solo flow enemy, future of the rap |
| [01:15.78] |
Golden Era dead |
| [01:16.65] |
("No time for looking back, it's done") |
| [01:18.30][Chorus] |
|
| [01:18.35] |
We in the 25th hour, it's now or never |
| [01:20.55] |
We gotta get it before it's gone forever, remember |
| [01:23.33] |
In the end time waits for no man, what's your plan? |
| [01:26.29] |
("No time for looking back, it's done") |
| [01:28.46] |
We in the 25th hour, it's now or never |
| [01:30.95] |
We gotta get it before it's gone forever, remember |
| [01:33.44] |
In the end time waits for no man, what's your plan? |
| [01:36.70] |
("No time for looking back, it's done") |
| [01:38.55][Verse 2] |
|
| [01:38.57] |
Before I fade to black, face the mirror, face the fact |
| [01:41.32] |
Fate appear to backtrack where the plaques at? |
| [01:43.02] |
Where the love for the cat? |
| [01:44.17] |
Fortified flow, fire from fire like fame |
| [01:46.47] |
Foresayer in Josiah desire to perspire |
| [01:48.94] |
The 25th hour upon me, calmly walk the wire |
| [01:51.67] |
Annihilate enemy ire any higher than I are in the sky |
| [01:54.51] |
Or heaven I require less than mediocre |
| [01:56.76] |
I reawoken the deeper thoughts of sleepin prophets |
| [01:58.89] |
Regardless of others offers I authentic dialect, I'm a vet |
| [02:02.06] |
Y'all are just wakin up, 'Say Goodnight' |
| [02:03.99] |
Slap a rapper, take his mic, greater height |
| [02:05.86] |
Spit a rhyme saber like |
| [02:07.20] |
Inner mind paid the price, A-B-C-alike |
| [02:09.83] |
Hey Preem, we a tight, chemistry |
| [02:11.39] |
Any beats sent to me I'mma instantly write |
| [02:13.46] |
'til the fingertips crippled |
| [02:14.83] |
It'll be sort of arthritis to finish a line |
| [02:17.01] |
If you more than rhyme this |
| [02:18.21] |
("No time for looking back, it's done") |
| [02:19.33][Chorus] |
|
| [02:19.35] |
We in the 25th hour, it's now or never |
| [02:22.06] |
We gotta get it before it's gone forever, remember |
| [02:24.57] |
In the end time waits for no man, what's your plan? |
| [02:27.59] |
("No time for looking back, it's done") |
| [02:29.65] |
We in the 25th hour, it's now or never |
| [02:32.20] |
We gotta get it before it's gone forever, remember |
| [02:34.82] |
In the end time waits for no man, what's your plan? |
| [02:37.97] |
("No time for looking back, it's done") |
| [02:40.01][Verse 3] |
|
| [02:40.03] |
You ever chant with the rebels, dance with the devils? |
| [02:42.42] |
Answered the higher levels, ride with the iron elbow to elbow |
| [02:45.77] |
In hellish circles where the heat is echoed |
| [02:47.49] |
You ever let go, stresses from pressures boilin beyond the kettle? |
| [02:50.71] |
You ever petrified, exorcised demons |
| [02:52.77] |
Believing you leave 'em breathin they'll get even |
| [02:54.72] |
Odds are beyond y'all, achievin peaceful means of seekin deacons |
| [02:57.99] |
Ain't no way out, they 'bout beat, by any means |
| [03:00.40] |
Ain't necessary but they bury them very young, hell or heaven |
| [03:02.81] |
Them adolescents, is pedalin, packin metal and settlin |
| [03:05.74] |
Street wars, revolves life behind tight walls |
| [03:08.29] |
When I falls, psychos strike the right chords |
| [03:10.40] |
They at pause, bumpin Ricky Ross |
| [03:12.16] |
Kids is on crack, they lost |
| [03:13.51] |
Wipe a lot, no time for looking back, it's done |
| [03:16.36] |
Golden era over and dead, I'm over your heads |
| [03:18.84] |
{"No time for looking back, it's done"} |
| [03:20.72][Chorus] |
|
| [03:20.74] |
We in the 25th hour, it's now or never |
| [03:22.96] |
We gotta get it before it's gone forever, remember |
| [03:25.77] |
In the end time waits for no man, what's your plan? |
| [03:29.16] |
("No time for looking back, it's done") |
| [03:31.03] |
We in the 25th hour, it's now or never |
| [03:33.60] |
We gotta get it before it's gone forever, remember |
| [03:36.04] |
In the end time waits for no man, what's your plan? |
| [03:39.38] |
("No time for looking back, it's done") |
| [03:43.38][Outro] |
|
| [03:43.77] |
("You better take off, before I break off") |
| [03:45.89] |
("I don't give a ****, I don't play that ****") |
| [03:49.81] |
("No time for looking back, it's done") |
| [03:54.34] |
("You better take off, before I break off") |
| [03:56.74] |
("I don't give a ****, I don't play that ****") |
| [03:59.77] |
("No time for looking back, it's done") |
