Time

Lyrics

[Chorus] There is time to live and a time to die The time to tell the truth, the time to lie But don't forget the rules that run the street You don't miss the ones you love, the ones you need [Verse 1: Cuban Link] I'm in the plot trying to find my spot like I'm behind the clock Now I'ma shine whether it's my time or not Had to grind a lot, too many years trying to find my shot To let them haters stop my climb to the top When it's time to pop, I'm all cocked with the nine and Glock So just face 'em likе I'm signed to the Rock Nevеr mind the cops long as the dimes don't drop A crime won't stop to put you in a pom box You can find me in them hot spots with a found fox Or in the drop top, just flyin' through the block Got my mind to the plot, I'm in my prime and I'm hot I'm buyin' them stocks soon as I sign on the dot My dream's to have the lock and pop my label Make cream by the knots when I drop my debut My team callin' the shots around the table Get in between, what we got in your Rock-A-Halo No way, no, how, I'ma let y'all play me out Leave you laced on your face, laid out I'ma show what a renegade's about, grenade your house You need an army to take me out Don't mistake my style, kindness for weakness My mind's aligned with the deepness I'm Einstein in his thesis, my rhymes all a secret Telekinesis, they exist through my speeches And reach through the speakers The design that define what the streets is On a real nigga, peak this, I was raised in the ghetto With a getaway plan and my hand on the metal As a little fellow, I was always taught to never settle Had a pedal of whatever I had to get dinero A rebel without a cause, settin' it off Out to get the cheddar, I'd do whatever the cost [Chorus] There is time to live and a time to die The time to tell the truth, the time to lie But don't forget the rules that run the street You don't miss the ones you love, the ones you need [Verse 2: Cuban Link] Now take a look at my eyes, you see the firebird is scorchin' high I'm the flame that gotta live for my dogs that died Gotta rain with the truth for the ones that lied So I came with the proof, time to testify In the course of the ride, I got lost in the tie Backstabbed, double-crossed and tossed to the side No remorse or replies, they torchin' my pride But through all my misfortune, the Lord was my guide He told me to stride, open dream 'Cause I mean much more than it seem Used to fiend to be a part of a team But it seem like the team fiend wanna be a part of my cream I had to clean my regime when I seen those part of a scheme Gangsta leanin' through the boulevard of broken dreams Smokin', blowin' on seam with a chip on my shoulder Ready to flip, slip the clip in the toaster Thinkin' this shit to leave them slip like a sculpture Grippin' the pistola, fittin' to go roll up Nigga, I thought I told ya, I'm a soldier Time to hit 'em up, get rid of all the cobras Hit 'em with the coat, lift 'em up like a tow truck Rip 'em in the cocas, give 'em to Jehovah This shit ain't over till I take your souls Through Link, it done made you whole Your fate's already been told through the ancient scroll Sold your soul for the bacon and you Satan's ho Ain't nowhere to go now, put the morgue in the sheets You off to see the reaper 'cause you crossed all your peeps You greed cost you to be lost in the deep Never thought you take a loss or fall to defeat Guess you reap what you sow till you restin' in peace Never double-cross the ones you love 'cause they're the ones you need [Chorus] There is time to live and a time to die The time to tell the truth, the time to lie But don't forget the rules that run the street You don't miss the ones you love, the ones you need [Verse 3: Cuban Link] With the Pun, I run, I never double-cross the ones I love Blood in, blood out, they're the ones I trust Slug in, slug out, they're the ones that bust They put in, put out, push scum to shove For all my thugs in the pen, here we go again Standin' in front of the judge and never told a thing Kept it on the hush when the rush started closing in Came through in the clutch and never fold it in This is for my twins that are here now Gotta spill a little beer down, let 'em know I still love 'em dear now Wish they was here now, thought they near Watchin' clear down, from up there with no fear now Guardin' my rear down, keepin' me safe 'Cause the streets that we be in creeper for stakes These days, even your peeps'll switch up they face Leave you leakin' for a piece of the cake, can you relate? [Chorus] There is time to live and a time to die The time to tell the truth, the time to lie But don't forget the rules that run the street You don't miss the ones you love, the ones you need
