Talking: From the jump man, just something I was feelin'.. A little back in the day type shit
Verse 1:
Was warm dark and comfortable, now it's bright, cold as fuck
Sharp pain to my ass, umbilical chord cut(damn)
Sun shinin' mama cryin, lights blindin'
My temperature climbin', got me wailing like a siren
(fast forward)
Flippin' off the jungle gym
Couldn't even get the ball to the rim
Acting on every whim, scratches on every limb(nah)
Imitating what I see, watching Bruce Lee
Gave me the black belt in third degree
(again)
Grade four, field day, blue ribbon fifty yard dash
Hot dogs (po)tato chips, clowning dude that came in last
Pepperoni pizza featured Fridays
Scheming on my crush in the lunch room, she smiled and waved(I see you girl)
8th grade, Cincinnati, Goldeneye on 64(my shit)
Samantha was my girl then, she had the biggest titties bro(that's word)
Me, Jamar, and Terrell, stories to tell
Stealin' out the store, candy and condoms
It was awesome
Chorus:
Man I'm out here runnin' but time keep flyin'
Man I'm out here runnin' but time keep flyin'
Man I'm out here runnin' but time keep flyin'
Time keep flyin' by
Verse 2:
Ridge View, first day
Try-outs passed, can't play
Class clown, every week, at least one detention stay
Selling bootleg CDs out my book sack
White tees, 501s, high top forces strap back, it's all facts
Bridge:
Time fly fast, you better enjoy it while it lasts
Time fly fast, you better enjoy it while it lasts
Verse 2(cont)
Stayed in Winslow with my kinfolk
Reese, Vinnie, Marcellus, and Raymond
Black Josh, and David out there hoopin' on the pavement
Whoopin' every nigga from outside of the hood
And everyone that they came wit'
Right before summer broke a foot bone
Was kind of depressed, it really had my mind blown
Came up at the party shawty twerkin' on my Johns-on
While I'm sitting with the cast on
Tryna talk her into action- come up off that dome
Next year, Northeast
Mama got me on a short leash
Said she tired of getting called every week
My nigga Micah, he got me high enough to reach my peak
Eric was lovin' that slut, but Ceddy B was cuffin' that butt(tough)
Me and Tawana had that Love Jones
Broads tried to get on, I stayed true, I played it wrong
My mind out of Columbia, thoughts on comin' up, signed the paper
See what this Army (a)bout
12 July, shipped out
-Chorus-
Verse 3:
Sitting penning these mementos
Reflecting on the memories, I reach between my temples
Format 'em tight and lay it down on instrumentals
They say the facts of life are complex, but it could all be so simple
Bridge:
Time fly fast, you better enjoy it while it lasts
Life lessons, you better pay attention, in this class
Looking back on the past, hope you can say you made a splash
Time fly fast, you better enjoy it while it lasts
Verse 3(cont):
Breathe deep on this oxygen
Father Time has bodied a lot of men
Ain't no stoppin' him
Limit your sleep, fuck a Posturepedic
Unwrap the gift of every day when you see it
Even when they seem shit
You can get wrote out the next group of scenes quick
So persevere when you down and catch a swift kick
Flip it to a win streak
Hop on the bike lock in that tenth speed
And keep on truckin' like a Hemi
On this mic, I get funkier than kimchi(yes)
I'm refreshing like a tall glass of Simply(yes)
Lend me
Your ear for this occasion
Witness me give the beat cuts and abrasions
You just kicked the dope, but now this track is enablin'
Hotter than the fast teenage daughter of a Cajun(fire)
Hip-Hop been ho'n for a while and she the only one I'm savin'
The rest of these birds, gettin' Nathan
Chorus
