Lyrics:
So, what up? You going in today?
Naw, man, I'm not going in to work today
I didn't show up yesterday either man
Fuck that job
Word, word, man, I feel ya, I feel ya
I'm getting tired of sleeping on this couch, man
I hear that
Don't remember when we were gonna blow the fuck up?
Yeah, I remember that, but you know what they say
Life goes on and dream fade away
What the fuck?
[Verse One]:
Now, I remember when we used to think we would blow up and be
Known to the world as the dopest emcees
But then I turned around and I know this to be
We're grown but still home, and broke as can be
Can? Me? I got kicked out of school
Now, I owe about a G, so I'm about to have to move
Out of the G.A., so replay the last five years
I would behave and recreate the past five years
I would change up the events and then the crowd might cheer
But there ain't no way to get back the last five years
No serving time, I won't budge
These lines are so rigid and they won't slow up
Life's a bitch, the minute that she gets in your bed
You living 'bout a minute and then in a couple minutes you dead
And with that said, I think it's time to move on
Because I'm old and I'm tired and I've been rhyming too long
I'm trying to find a new song, I'm trying to get up outta rhyming
Cause ain't a thing changed around here except the climate
The climate is climbing, then falling in the winter
Can't even see the sun rise but around December
So, why kick the embers of a passion for rapping?
When the passion is absent, I stop rapping
When the passion is absent, you stop rapping?
I couldn't stop rapping, even if I tried
All the meaning that's inside will wilter away and die
And ??? through pain inside, living life inside of a rhyme book
That all this ??? will never find
I guess it gets trying at times, trying to survive
Working 9-5, turn around, 5-9
And will I get signed?
WIll I be able to pay all my bills on time?
I'm really just all out of options
Besides the ability to thrive
And if you still try to step into me
Get in mind, I'm not gonna slide to the side
Roll over and just die
Man, fuck dying
I'm trying to provide you with line after line
Of a motivational vibe from time after time
Tell the haters and naysayers that I have arrived
With five guys marching in a line right behind
In the limelight, it's the blind leading the blind
But I've been meaning to find the time defy the meaning to rhyme
[Verse Two]:
Let's take it back to rap basics, back to rap's basement
Backwards caps, pants that sagged, and fat laces
Tracks on wax played and scratched as hands wave
???The dance crave for great and rap was tac paint???
On the side of trains, when the cypher reigned
When the young boy never knew that life would change
To my dreams, my blood, sweat, and tears
When I need my friends but ain't none of them here
Every minute I flow, I'm giving my soul
So I'm living every minute to begin a ???
Eyes closed and the casket is shut
Wait a minute, where's Jason? What happened to flux?
Does Red even know we're all dead and gone
Will he make it back to Georgia in time to perform?
That used to be the dream, I knew we'd be the stars
Of tomorrow, but who would think the crew would be apart?
In a time like this, it flies by quick
And I'm unsigned, nobody trying to buy my disk
Seeing strangers in the street thinking I'm paid
Cause I made a CD, doesn't mean that I stay in a mansion
I ain't never chilled in the Hamptons
I lived in an abandoned building on a mattress
This is real, this the life that I live
Ain't no white picketed fences outside of my crib
I'm meaning, no, I'm not leaving the house
Still working odd jobs, still sleeping on the couch
Let the beat fade out, when it fades back in
Atmosphere's "Lucy Ford", what I played back then
Remember? Rock the whores
Sage Francis, ??? ???
Remember when we made that shit?
I can see it all like it was yesterday
When everybody moved on and they left the state
Now I'm left all alone trying to estimate
How much time I done lost and expect to wait
Put the pen down, now that the book's finished
Hit the ground running, look back like good riddance
And start a new chapter in life
If I could take it back before I first rapped on the mic
