Ab-Soul - Life & Time lyrics

[Verse 01: Murs] No chain, tattoos where you can't see I'm the one, I'm the man that you can't be Decade and plus in the game, I got a name While a lot of these commercial a** rappers should be ashamed Sold your soul for that 15 minutes You was in, you was on, you was hot, now you finished I represent the real hip-hop For my homies that still sell pills and load Glocks I told them young dudes clean your money up There's a recession and it's the perfect time for comin up! You can listen to these rappers if you're dumb enough Or smile, get money, have fun, be one of us Why you acting tough for? Wouldn't throw a cream-puff in a cupcake war It's not real, it's all what you make it All you got is your word and you're f**ed once you break it [Hook: Murs] Life is a myth and time is an illusion I'm a light shining through the confusion We sell frequencies designed as music All I do is kick rhymes, have fun, and do cool sh** [Verse 02: Ab-Soul] If it wasn't for this hip-hop ish, I'd probably lose it The real thinker: don't confuse me with Confucius Cut on your blinker, get it right, I'm the prototype I spit like I mix chemicals in beakers Way before I heard my words thumping out a speaker I knew I was too cool to play follow the leader Everything I do goes over the head of overachievers We can discuss this over lunch, it's over when I dump my thesis f**in' punks, runch of b**hes: y'all should wear pumps Square up, run to Orange County for a "fair" one I'm out your frequency, don't speak to me Reason be I'm like a deity, I'm the elite MURS: bow our heads, bon apetit Let's turn Paid Dues into Coachella and have a feast! This rap game is full of lames driving themselves insane Looking for a lane, mayne [Hook] [Verse 03: OC] This is grown-man talk Head up high with pride is how I walk. Take notes from the source It's ? an*log and the 2-inch ? You had to show and prove the sk** to cop you a deal Co-signs was void, shortcuts didn't exist You had to go hard in the paint to score Testing time to separate the weak from those Who had abilities to transcend beats in other words, yo You had rappers, and then you had emcees ? Melly Mel G Rap and O.C Busy B, Starsky, Old Varsity Sideways talk nowadays: larceny Fast forward, present time, now it's something called 360 deal Idiots ask where do I sign? Bend over! Face down, gettin dick from behind I'm shaking my head thinking you out your cotton-picking mind! [Hook]
