Time

[Nature]

At the ripe age 24, I done seen it all done it all

Some dreams stay fresh and some are spoiled

Dealin with time went to spring, summer, fall

Its crazy changes, is this that made me famous?

I come a long way from Tims, minimum wages

Stockin caps summer jobs pockets flat

It's funny how my childhood idols now be copin cracks

Ain't knockin at them, fortunately life is too short to see

It's only right we move accordingly at every second

I use to carry heavy weapons, previously cocked

Tucked in my shirt for every session, but hold up

The two-six beer made me grow up

Came home to the damn same dream with no luck

And half the clique strong, the other half moved on

Some with new lives and new wives niggaz live long

The foulest thing about time is still ticks when you gone

[Nas]

For those who lived the way I lived we came from a long way

From wipin coal from our eye lids from raps hottest

Smokin lye to the track guidance, 'member back then

Before Mack 10's expensive bottles, had a sick mind

Niggaz taught me how to get mine

We often sit courts they get tossed that get spit line

To all niggaz that the Lord seemed to legit time

Why we plan to live for-ev he had a different design

Is it safe to say we all parish on the sacred day

With my luck soon as I reach the gate that made me pay...pray

Minutes go by indo-go-high the specialist decked out dark specks finessin

Used to play catch a kiss same girls back then now leave us messages

A whole lot, travel to my old spot where we sold rock although its trifle

Ain't nothin changed as like time is all a cycle

[AZ]

Yo, wake up to the world stay in charge of your dream

Keep your vision focus get wise and large your cream

Marketin scheme so many in the dark it's un-seemed

Caught up between perhaps rap was a fortunate thing

Forced to be king from hustlin to supportin them fiends

Bustin guns, I had no remorse as a team

Rockin bird stones my first get big nursed a dome

Its hurts to zone now I realize I'm on the surface alone

Time ticks devilish mind design quits leave you line quick

And cause you to die behind shit, mathematics

Master 120 I'm Aziatic, I'm amazed with magic

Cousins with loosen that made me savage

Life changed once you established with the right game

Love the night vane found the new way to fight pain

Clocks never stop, its all the way to the top

Trying to freeze time that's why I iced the face on my watch
