KA - Ours lyrics

[Intro] These seconds, these minutes right here You know who they belong to? Us That's why they call 'em ours [Verse 1] It took sacrifice, much loss before the gain Paid a drastic price, misfortune and disdain Framed a shattered life, the forfeits and the pain All the saddest sights, the coffins and the stains On days wish I could save the children that we was We didn't spare they eyes from all the k**ings and the d** Steppin' and protectin' them from feelin' any slugs Many ways mediate, the savior healin' any grudge Cause in and out the lab bouts was bad, so habits grew The steel cold, you don't grow real old actin' new And you can count from all my accounts, the stats is true To think some was tickled pink when we was beat black and blue A knave to say we show it sympathy cause I know essentially All the dastard actions that was happenin', I was meant to see Dug a lot of work when I was broke and inoperative Felt a lot of hurt before I spoke this provocative Heart was ice for that cream tryin' to scoop money Now breath for seeds, whether you throw dirt or root for me [Hook] These seconds, these minutes are ours These seconds, these minutes are ours These seconds, these minutes are ours These seconds, these minutes are ours [Interlude] They ours So do what you gotta do man, cause you dont get no more A finite number Gotta seize every, every moment [Verse 2] From crooked boy to honest man, the latter's gone I speak promised land, the common plan - Babylon My thwarted thoughts faced for years probably ran marathon I care to say if I ever sail away, with plans to Avalon Event for all the days I spent positioned in the basement Feel I had to heal myself, physician and the patient Was urged home for all the wrong, my riff with immigration I boast to learn my culture 'fore I picked a**imilation The dose of lies, up close you'll find raps they wisen At most they rhyme to gross, mine's appetizing Peep the god though, I speak a hard flow of argot To steal for meal but for real, I used to starve though The routes I scored I doubt the Lord ever condone Steps was reckless, reppin' for precious metals and stone But now knowledge power, this a**emblance evidence shown Walk with ghosts of close family and friends, I'm never alone [Hook] These seconds, these minutes are ours These seconds, these minutes are ours These seconds, these minutes are ours These seconds, these minutes are ours [Sample] So accept this - not for its intrinsic value, but as a token [Outro] These hours are ours Make a better place Mines, yours It's our time This that good sh**, the fly sh**, the real sh** Build, f** all that destroyin', let's live
