[00:04.91].
[00:05.72]Yo, the spirit in the sky scream homicide
[00:08.97]But it was time to ride on some n*ggas funny talking
[00:11.65]If too much money talking
[00:13.03]We make em economize
[00:14.47]Real rap no tale spinning, such is the life of a
[00:17.78]
[00:18.29]Kam-I-Ka-Ze pilot
[00:19.66]We wyling out of control until
[00:21.35]we all make the funny papers like Comic-Con
[00:24.04]Feared in all streets so,
[00:25.60]if you ever see me out in y’all streets
[00:27.91]Find another one to occupy
[00:29.22]I never hope for the best
[00:31.10]I wish a n*gga would
[00:32.41]Turn around and walk away
[00:33.84]I wish a n*gga could
[00:35.16]Listen to my instincts and say f*ck the rest
[00:37.79]But once you’ve had the best better ain’t as good
[00:41.10]Weak-heartedness cannot be involved
[00:43.23]Stick to the script, n*gga - f*ck your improv
[00:45.98]Like the samurai
[00:46.73]The street’s Hammurabi Code
[00:48.84]Play your part, shut the f*ck up, and do as I was told
[00:51.78].
[00:51.97]I was always late for the bus
[00:54.53]Just once can I be on time
[00:57.43]Then I start to think what’s the rush
[01:00.18]Who wants to be on time
[01:02.93]Feeling unlucky and if I ever got lucky it was one time
[01:08.26]In this crazy world
[01:13.53].
[01:14.03]Not a thing I fear besides fear itself
[01:16.46]This is clearly a lesson learned for someone else
[01:19.47]Reach for the crown of thorns upon the shelf
[01:22.03]Cross around my neck
[01:23.40]I’ve been taught by stealth
[01:24.90]Capture this moment in time… it’s a smash and grab
[01:27.84]And where my party people y’all finna have a blast
[01:30.46]You say goodbye… I say hello first and last
[01:32.96]Hello-Hello… Now all of y’all elevate your glass
[01:35.90]To an example of what time will do to you
[01:38.71]When those nameless things just keep on eluding you
[01:41.27]When sh*t is new to you and lies is true to you
[01:44.22]Words of suspects-usual… coming though to you
[01:46.90]Man, I guess if I was ever lucky it was one time
[01:49.84]Then I went missing looking for the sublime
[01:52.15]A n*gga stayed low, left the ladder unclimbed
[01:55.15]Time after time, verse blank, the line unrhymed
[01:57.97].
[01:58.28]You ever wonder what’s the big fuss...
[02:00.98]For everyone to be on time
[02:03.54]What’s the big deal, why do they feel
[02:06.36]The need to have us marching on line
[02:09.23]Feeling unlucky and if I’d ever got lucky it was one time
[02:14.61]In this crazy world
[02:19.35].
[02:19.55]I wonder when you die do you hear harps and bagpipes
[02:21.98]If you born on the other side of the crack pipe
[02:24.86]N*ggas learn math just to understand the crack price
[02:27.49]Then drive in head first like the jack knife
[02:30.37]Cause out here, yo you n*ggas can’t belly flop
[02:33.18]If you wanna make the noise inside your belly stop
[02:35.81]One time means being on the front line
[02:38.25]Being on the front line means ducking one time
[02:41.05]The pendulum swinging my way - couldn’t be more blind
[02:44.12]N*ggas talk to the cops? Not even one time
[02:46.37]Cause we all going down just like the subprime
[02:49.18]Or a cheap ass half gallon of Ballantine
[02:51.93]But hopping over gates to escape is sublime
[02:54.99]Then through the alley way and down to the sub line
[02:57.81]Tales from the streets
[02:59.24]A life of high crime
[03:00.56]To make it to the bottom
[03:01.99]Such a high climb
[03:03.24].
[03:04.49]I was always late for the bus
[03:07.24]Just once can I be on time
[03:09.99]Then I start to think what’s the rush
[03:12.74]Who wants to be on time
[03:15.49]Feeling unlucky and if I ever got lucky it was one time
[03:21.37]In this crazy world
[03:25.06].
