The time is now


Aye 9th, you know me & Phonte the Ashford & Simpson of this
rap shit
Y'all ain't no? Oh, y'all ain't no. Ohhh, we creepin' up
then
Trap you in the wrath again
Blacker than boat loads of Africans
This struggle, we can't win
Back bent, over till it slacks, and cracks
Only in denial though
My mother is like, "I know" and my brother is quiet so
Till I type murder, family cycles will fly further than
expected
Titles on my life or daughter
Sorta like I bought her
Still in my momma's house
Get green like chlorophyll when all of y'all be like, "I'm
out."
Shittin' in your own crib
I'm in no position to be fuckin' on my own still
This ain't some words on a paper
This is what my mind's made of
Like a skyscraper reachin' up
Try to stay keepin' up and tryin' to keep my feelings out of
beats and stuff
But Tay they ain't believin' us
Been through so many struggles in my life
You would not believe where I have been
I don't know where, I don't know how
Even my lonely heart and sacrifice
Until the day that my life ends
The place is here, the time is now
Y'all niggas just tip toein'
Soon as they put it on
They say, "He's big Willie."
You just a Lil' Jon
Tryin' to Get Lower
Proof that thee existence of persistence pays off and it's
showin'
Cause labels used to play me like
Now they better pay me like I'm Luke Wilson
Check your books, I ain't owin'/Owen
Y'all ain't bustin' caps
Y'all gangstas in the studio makin' a new era
And this is for whoever
Y'all need to do you, maybe then you'll do better
Cause I'm gonna be spittin' till I walk with a cane
Left my mark on the game
And y'all just scribblin'
I'm etched in stone, y'all just penciled in
#2 status that's your place nigga, live with it
They don't know the shoes I walk in
So I guess they'll keep on talkin'
We gon' build it up, build it up, built it up
It's solid, it's solid
Until when, you hold that thing in your hand and you know
it's solid
It's not a liquid, it's not a gas, it's solid, it's solid,
let me tell ya
It's the icing on the cake. Ain't that the best thing you
ever heard? Hahaha

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
