It's Time, it's time, it's time, it's time

This is time to build, it's time to build

It's time to build, it's time to build

It's time to build, this is time to build

[Verse 1: Mic Geronimo]

I format my mind for combat

In fact I put a hole up in your back on the song like that

Rollin thick with my people ain't no room to breathe

Surrounded by murderous felons, drinks and bags of weed

I swing at ya and get fly with the M-I

I'm automatic trample in your static with the semi

So when I squeeze I'm off in the breeze with these

Licking shots at them whack MC's

With no direction, I rhyme with perfection skills

Drug a nigga like a pill when it's time to build

Keep it real, get your head rocked when I wreck shop

I bigger with my style ain't a bully on your fuckin block

Word is bond I go on

I'm breaking MC's with vocal tones over real rap songs

Insane in the brain nothing left to gain

Grab the mic up with skill when it's time to build, Mother Fuckers

This is time to build, it's time to build

It's time to build, it's time to build

It's time to build, this is time to build

Niggas increase the pain when they shout my name

Horrified by the thought of hot slugs and graves

Cause Ja is a sinister character loading that 44 caliber

Infrared aimed at your jugular

Who the fuck are you? Nobody cares

You just be another nigga that needs repairs

Talking to all them niggas shitting

And all them faggots that be steady bitching, inside their insides twitching

Sod sill delivering, DOA push a nine to your mind and commence the spray

No bullshit, Natural's the king of left

Scared of life but wanna play the game of death

What's next? Niggas wearing padded kotex

Pussy ass MC's get treated like rough sex

I'm possessed you can't feel what I feeler

Be easy on the cut, uh, uh, uh

This is time to build, it's time to build

It's time to build, it's time to build

It's time to build, this is time to build

Yeah, fresh on the scene-a with the fucking next niggas demeanor

You know my work I bless and press more skirts then the cleaners

I'm damn relaxed cause you cats can't stress the G

Ain't a enough jump in 'em to make you high enough to test me

Gone, niggas is moist like Duncan Heinz

Choice when I'm voicing my poise I got poison lines

So flame on I turn my game on the expert

Niggas get chills when you hear my name on the network

Fuck what you niggas kickin on the mic

You chicken like you don't know what an ass whippin feels like

I'm living flashbacks, I blaze niggas split like ass-cracks

It's the J to the A, smoother than jazz tracks, yeah

So when I'm browsing through your housing projects

Niggas get 5,000 shit is rough

Time to close I hit you with 16 of those

Next time maybe more, but who the fuck knows?

This is time to build, it's time to build

It's time to build, it's time to build

It's time to build, this is time to build

Check it out yo, Check it out yo, Check it out yo, Check it out yo

I'm peeling niggas caps like oranges

Hit 'em in the head with 2 by 4 inches

I'm a grimy nigga so I like my bitches cruddy

My clothes dirty, dick shitty, and my knife bloody

I did too much dirt to turn back now

I'm the reason my lil' sister smoking crack now

I'd feel guilty if I had a heart but I don't

To live a carefree life if I stop killing but I won't

It's in my blood to destroy man kind

With every murder I lose it little more of my damn mind

And I ain't got much left to lose nigga ,so don't snooze nigga

I'm telling yous nigga, just pay your dues nigga

Respect my mother fucking style of rap

Murder your mic and your unborn child

This ain't wild just how niggas living on the street

A little something that cant be beat

It's Time, it's time, it's time, it's time

This is time to build, it's time to build

It's time to build, it's time to build

It's time to build, this is time to build

Recognize, understand, recognize, understand

Recognize, understand, recognize, understand

This is time to build

This is time to build

This is time to build
