Abstract Rude - I Lived In A Time lyrics

Staring at the truth can be like staring at the sunlight. You get blinded [Abstract Rude:] Feel an eclipse That energy shifts The wind is so brisk It'll push a man over the cliff Beginning with this The word that was born with the fist Absorbing the lands and Flesh torn with the d**h wish We ain't gotta get violent to communicate We ain't gotta see eye to eye to mobilize and motivate d**h before dishonor Envy or betrayal Never gon' be stronger than we were The day that we were all together Spike the nail in the coffin 'cuz they say you better off and On the other side when you ain't got no problems I ain't sayin' heavens gate is callin' It don't take d**h to dodge 'em 'Cuz you're alive You may as well think of a better option Let's get you rounded with a spiritual base So you can look in the mirror and be proud of your face A real image don't know how to be fake Make it by any means or behind the scenes view of the outtakes I lived in a time of raising hell I lived in a time of LL At Def Jam I lived in a time Of champions of rhyme Like Myka motha' f**in' 9 And X Clan I lived in a time of Kool Moe I lived in a time of Native Tongues And Hiero And who could forget the Wu though And who rep the west? My crew Project Blowed A thousand nations Even our own Descend upon us No man is prophet Not a single break Or chink in armor Our wounded and dead Got fox and vultures feedin' on 'em Our movement is lead Protect the culture Keep it goin' En garde For every push When they come hard It's shields up From the arrow barrage That builds up From one bar to the next For every bar you take a text I got another thought to digest I Rock Dis Funky Joint 'cuz Funky Town's the livest And you missin' the point You digress I guess But I got something going With my little KTF My crew Is right on the brink Of being The Dark Knight Rises A terror in the air A bearer of bad news Your era is in jeopardy So be scared of Ab Rude Can't get me out your head My nightmare has you But you'll never be aware 'cuz to you only cash rules I lived in a time of raising hell I lived in a time of LL At Def Jam I lived in a time Of champions of rhyme Like Myka motha' f**in' 9 And X Clan I lived in a time of Kool Moe I lived in a time of Native Tongues And Hiero And who could forget the Wu though And who rep the west? My crew Project Blowed
