Its Different Now

Lyrics

[Intro: Sample] [Verse 1: ANoyd] I really feel like the almighty dollar took all of the spirit from hip-hop—period Cry tears for the criteria, horsing around on the cafeteria table I spit a rhyme on boom-bap so follow the arrow like Sagittarius Instead of putting they heart into it I see the embalming fluid making it look alive but it's different now And you low on stamina see the thing is you amateur, damaging, sandwiching Aerodynamic to vanishing got the Atlantic behind your ear again I'm a little twisted behind what I 'ear like Anakin Handling single-handedly like a finger, no wedding ring Quit the rambling, cool your mouth and examine a teething ring I'm cleaning the game poetic, a janitor key to bring Propaganda and affidavit the banner the keep the cling It's really a thin line with me hearing whatever you got to say like we talking on two cans and a piece of string that's annually Look up "Star"—I'm in the Webster, Emmanuelly— —Lewis, the pussy niggas survive and they land on they feet And they stand in debris with a can of Febreze Demanding a speech, commander-in-chief—nigga, you wish I ain't turning up nowhere till I don't gotta turn my windows up manually And ain't no stopping till I'm selling out the biggest crowd and you sitting down nigga 'cause it's different now different now [Hook] I been watching time go by Staring at the clock till the time go by Yeah, it's different now Listening to Biggie and my Nas Listening to Biggie and my Nas will I nod Yeah, it's different now You be putting words together and I bring good people all together with my words see the different now? Give a nigga dap put your middle finger down Oh ,you don't remember? I remember how, written down Oh, I forgot that's it's, that's it's different now [Interlude: Sample] [Verse 2: ANoyd] It's no surprise that I'm still here for standing so long for what I believe in Guarding my Garden of Eden They been tryna cuff ANoyd Since wearin' my Lot 2-9 on Air 1s and trying to stop the bleeding Y'all praying to stop the breathing on hip-hop While I stare at the vinyl of Illmatic, I promised myself it wouldn't open until I meet him And dap him and tell him, "I ain't done rappin' until we even as Steven in rap bracket and accurate to the region of mankind." What if that car crash haved me forever paralyzed? Have the franchise still putting their hands high From a wheelchair craving a shepherds pie Checking profiles give a fuck if you verified Thought you was clean as a whistle but climbing a stair of lies XSee the change in the wives and kids and it's clarified, went from training wheels to changing wheels then I got tired of that then I clocked into rapping with spare time The listeners today are blindfolded and losing it They shart truce in a pair of chartreuse pants and they zoom in it That shit bright for all of you new niggas Getting the same plate of food and you cool with it What if ANoyd got Connetti on the map With a song that sounded exact Like everything that's in the rap With a solid, liquid and gas I guess that's a matter fact 'Cause, honest to God, ain't no longevity in that Every once a burgundy moon I get a promotion I'm done smoking with no more gaming I'm out of token, Mama told me cut the front lawn and the back too but I'm too connected I unplug modem and then I mowed 'em Y'all just here for the money period nothing else and it's clear that you put it over the comma like semicolon I don't just make music for nothing I put my ear to the crowd like I'm Hulk Hogan but lately I'm heart broken it's different now Bitch nigga it's different now It's different now I understand that it's different now Bitch nigga it's different now I hate that it's different now I don't like that it's different now It's different now [Hook] I been watching time go by Staring at the clock till the time go by Yeah, it's different now Listening to Biggie and my Nas Listening to Biggie and my Nas will I nod Yeah, it's different now You be putting words together and I bring good people all together with my words see the different now? Give a nigga dap put your middle finger down Oh, you don't remember? I remember how, written down Oh, I forgot that's it's, that's it's different now Oh, I forgot that's it's, that's it's different now Oh, I forgot that's it's, that's it's different now Oh, I forgot that's it's, that's it's different now Yeah, it's different now Different now Yeah, it's different now Different now
