Hook:
Trg we making that cream People get fooled it aint easy as it seems You can rock on till the break of dawn But one by one your ass is gone
I got trapped in the rap game at sixteen and saw Its no more than a crap game, know what I mean? Like when you feel you shake em right They fake roll snake eyes in this industry thats how quick niggaz die Through my eyes its like russian roulette Never do you know when you about to get wet So you should stay set so you dont fall and go under Have people saying I wonder what happened To him or her its sad when you begin to think You cant be gone but you can be gone in the blink Of an eye, dont ask why cause you try Somebody came along that was twice as fly I remember when I hit the scene it was the second phase Rope chains two finger rings, those were the days Latin quarters my puma suit was cool Now let me be caught in that and Ill be damned a fool Ya gotta change with the times like the weather Mcs that alsts is the mcs thats clever You cant move too slow cause when its to time to go You see its to time to go
Repeat hook 2x (1. but one day brother your ass is gone) (2. but one day sister your ass is gone)
Come back after come back, nigga came back More wack than the wackest wax on the rack Whats up with that, new jacks are coming through Taking no slack They hungry and they looking for a spot To cop a squat, you better watch the clock It can be awfully embarassing to not know when To let go of the rhyme, its about half past the monkey ass You should have been gone but you still trying to hang on What happens when you chilling at the label on the 10th floor Nobody knows your name anymore, arent you...? Wait and let me think, just as quick as you get large You can quickly shrink And sink into the crates and collect dust Dont be mad cause it happens to the best of us
Repeat hook 2x
To and fro they come and go You better change your flow and then switch up your show I mean come with the booming ass hits Then they gone buy then they dont leave with shit You better tell an exec you need to be set So when its over you aint living our your land rover When your rap life dies And you still alive nigga, you better know how to survive It aint easy and it aint supposed to be Letting niggaz know what time it is When it comes to me the l-y-t-e Stronger than the ox the octane that Knocks in your brain I sustain My mission is to maintain sane, know what I mean? Keep doing my thang, you cant move too slow Cause when its your time to go, gotta go
