[00:05.399] Yo the spirit in the sky scream homicide
[00:08.883] But it was time to ride on some niggas funny talking
[00:11.476] If too much money talking
[00:12.730] We make em economize
[00:14.404] Real rap no tails spinning
[00:16.359] Such is the life of a Kam I Ka Ze pilot
[00:19.132] We wylin out of control until we all
[00:21.708] Make the funny papers like Comic-Con
[00:24.088] Feared in all streets
[00:25.169] So if you ever see me out in y'all streets
[00:27.744] Find another one to occupy
[00:29.504] I never hope for the best
[00:30.825] I wish a nigga would
[00:32.187] Turn around and walk away
[00:33.608] I wish a nigga could
[00:35.081] Listen to my instincts and say fuck the rest
[00:37.638] But once you've had the best better ain't as good
[00:40.768] Weak heartedness cannot be involved
[00:43.157] Stick to the script nigga fuck your improv
[00:45.704] Like the samurai
[00:47.033] The street's Hammurabi Code
[00:48.627] Play your part shut the fuck up and do as I was told
[00:51.661] I was always late for the bus
[00:54.511] Just once can I be on time
[00:57.045] Then I start to think what's the rush
[01:00.187] Who wants to be on time
[01:03.101] Feeling unlucky and if I ever got lucky it was one time
[01:08.926] In this crazy world
[01:13.783] Not a thing I fear besides fear itself
[01:16.638] This is clearly a lesson learned for someone else
[01:19.505] Reach for the crown of thorns upon the shelf
[01:21.993] Cross around my neck
[01:23.290] I've been taught by stealth
[01:24.588] Capture this moment in time it's a smash and grab
[01:27.246] And where my party people y'all finna have a blast
[01:30.250] You say goodbye I say hello first and last
[01:33.119] Hello Hello Now all of y'all elevate your glass
[01:35.729] To an example of what time will do to you
[01:38.685] When those nameless things just keep on eluding you
[01:41.058] When shit is new to you and lies is true to you
[01:43.963] Words of suspects-usual coming though to you
[01:46.522] Man I guess if I was ever lucky it was one time
[01:49.378] Then I went missing looking for the sublime
[01:52.507] A nigga stayed low left the ladder unclimbed
[01:55.056] Time after time verse blank the line unrhymed
[01:58.049] You ever wonder what's the big fuss
[02:00.742] For everyone be on time
[02:03.585] What's the big deal why do they feel
[02:06.255] The need to have us marching on line
[02:09.483] Feeling unlucky and if I'd ever got lucky it was one time
[02:15.356] In this crazy world
[02:19.276] I wonder when you die do you hear harps and bagpipes
[02:21.690] If you born on the other side of the crack pipe
[02:24.722] Niggas learn math just to understand the crack price
[02:27.291] Then drive in head first like the jack knife
[02:30.159] Cause out here yo you niggas can't belly flop
[02:32.997] If you wanna make the noise inside your belly stop
[02:35.540] One time means being on the front line
[02:38.151] Being on the front line means ducking one time
[02:40.900] The pendulum swinging my way couldn't be more blind
[02:43.713] Niggas talk to the cops Not even one time
[02:46.441] Cause we all going down just like the subprime
[02:49.301] Or a cheap ass half gallon of Ballantine
[02:52.261] But hopping over gates to escape is sublime
[02:54.778] Then through the alley way and down to the sub line
[02:57.795] Tales from the streets
[02:59.106] A life of high crime
[03:00.296] To make it to the bottom
[03:01.826] Such a high climb
[03:04.465] I was always late for the bus
[03:07.149] Just once can I be on time
[03:10.031] Then I start to think what's the rush
[03:12.904] Who wants to be on time
[03:15.879] Feeling unlucky and if I ever got lucky it was one time
[03:21.682] In this crazy world
