Verse One:
See livin in this life I kno/
It's cold souls/
So we light L's for the righteous folk/
Who died well in the bible quotes/
And passed away it's sad to say /
Fade away like its smoke/
Enemies betray us invisible miserable like a ghost/
Bring a glass or a bottle cause I like to toast/
They say the good die young I wonder If the time is close/
Teach the holy lecture nigga but I don't like to boast/
Just call me professor nigga go head and write ya notes/
I got my locs on whenever I ride through/
Mom im ya son but my light makes me cry too/
Ray charles swag the way my aura blinds you/
Naw they cant see me so a verse is what I write you/
Power plans plottin wit pencils is what I like to/
Do on a daily my nigga don't got no time to/
Chill or hang pussy cause pussy is gonna find who/
Me at the end of the race it's crazy time flew/
Chorus:
Time flies by in a blink of an eye/
And a nigga know why/
Niggas be waitin so patient that they don't even try /
An they put they dreams aside/
The plan is to get rich nigga imma do this till I die/
I cant even lie/
Imma just sip this liquor and imma hold it high/
Put my lighter to the sky
Verse Two:
People personatin for power niggas is playin /
The game all wrong personas just to be famous/
It's time to flip the script we switchin it up like changes/
And edit it all up like records that hit the station shit/
It's back to basics/
Im Nas when i'm teaching lessons/
Adolescence is asking questions just for you to grab the message/
Wait half a second if you get it you can pass the test then/
Lifes a game of chess it's a blessin my queens my favorite weapon/
No half steppin /
Get it jumping like a checkerboard/
Niniggas say they ballin wit bricks well watch me catch a board/
On my bullshit Dennis Rodman when I check the floor/
Make the crowd roar MJ when i'm on a tour/
Nigga I score more Kobe Bryant wearin 24 /
24 on my back LA and that's for sure/
Im workin, while these niggas go and snore/
I believe that i'm the best cause i'm the best and I want it more///
Chorus:
Time flies by in a blink of an eye/
And a nigga know why/
Niggas be waitin so patient that they don't even try /
An they put they dreams aside/
The plan is to get rich nigga imma do this till I die/
I cant even lie/
Imma just sip this liquor and imma hold it high/
Put my lighter to the sky/
Verse Three:
See nigga I aint stupid /
I'm knowin' that time is movin'/
Decisions that i'm choosin/
Is difference from win and losin/
Im bout to nail it down/
Flat head niggas is screwin/
Around wit they time while niggas startin a Union/
We aint a family and this ain't no reunion/
Don't worry about me and stick to what you doin/
In that new whip three hundred smooth shit/
You be in that trash class zoomin like a zoom lens/
Tunnel vision Im actin like I don't notice yall/
Even if the focus off /
They still take a photo yall/
Bravetainment/
Niggas know the protocol/
Niggas move in silence stay quiet when its dough involved/
No business suit but these bitches no the boss/
Carry a briefcase whip my face when Im showing off/
Im so free these pussy's think my soul is lost/
I count time like mayan calendars and I hold the cross/
Chorus:
Time flies by in a blink of an eye/
And a nigga know why/
Niggas be waitin so patient that they don't even try /
An they put they dreams aside/
The plan is to get rich nigga imma do this till I die/
I cant even lie/
Imma just sip this liquor and imma hold it high/
Put my lighter to the sky/
