lyrics

Wow

This is what I've been doing it for all along

I've arrived

Verse 1 (Yamin):

Let's take it back - 99,
One crate of wax, trying to rhyme,
Cozy Shawn was my manager at peppermint,
FunkJazz was the shit but I never went,

Still underage, but them was the days,
Defining what I would become, it wasn't just a phase,
peace to Jasz, Talib Shabazz,
I miss Earwax but I can't relive the past,

Remember Fat Beats, Forsyth & Mitchell Street?
Now days the 4th ward is where the hipsters meet,
What happened to all the history?
Sometimes I forget, It all lives in me,

And lately, I've been thinking I should take chances more,
So when it's all said and done, I'll never have remorse,
Could've took piano lessons as an adolescence,
I make sound tracks, still I want to have a score,

Recorded for the memoirs of a raconteur, with a lot of laughs in store he's back from tour,
Life's a trip, I don't need a lot a baggage for it,
That's bad habit forming, never going back it's forward


Chorus:

So let us say,
Never let us stray,
Searching for yesterday,
Death soon comes,
But come what may,
Everyday in your life, Breathe life in your day

(repeat)

Verse 2 (John Robinson):

The real problem is we think we have time right? Others stuck on stupid 'what would u do for a Klondike!'
True, We walk a Godly path! It's our divine right,
Music is my life but I don't get caught up in limelight,

Keep the rhymes tight and shine light in all hindsight...
Read study lessons and build keeping the mind right...
Time is an illusion, which been proven by Top Flight,
I had this rhyme in my mind while sitting at a stop light,

Thinking No fair! I really wish Jax was here! But the soul never dies so it keeps me Clear...
Our lifetime is just a glimpse in comparison, so many choose to don't make sense it's embarrassing,
So I choose to challenge them, to elevate their path by balancing, the motion of the tic and the toc, we rippin the spot, yo!

We never set out to be prisoners of consciousness,
We just want to live a life that's prosperous! Go ahead Rock to this!

Chorus

(repeat)


Verse 3 (Yamin):


I used to think that it was me against the world like PAC
But then I just remember that it's me vs me
Before you lift your voice, can you live with the choice?
Yo I don't need a lot of friends, one could be worth three

Instead of barking up the wrong tree, but trees already have bark, so I play cards smartly
So watch me claim all my books in the game
holding grudges and letting go are often looking the same

But you ain't getting back the moments that it took to complain, or wonder why some take it hard or end up shook from your gain, my life is far from that perfect picture put in a frame, but I'm a king so I don't have to rook for a thing, nahmean?

(monologue)

Chorus

(repeat)
