Let's take it back - 99
One crate of wax, trying to rhyme
Cozy Shawn was my manager at peppermint
FunkJazz was the shit but I never went
Still underage, but them was the days
Defining what I would become, it wasn't just a phase
Peace to Jasz, Talib Shabazz
I miss Earwax but I can't relive the past
Remember Fat Beats, Forsyth & Mitchell Street
Now days the 4th ward is where the hipsters meet
What happened to all the history
Sometimes I forget, It all lives in me
And lately, I've been thinking I should take chances more
So when it's all said and done, I'll never have remorse
Could've took piano lessons as an adolescence
I make sound tracks, still I want to have a score
Recorded for the memoirs of a raconteur, with a lot of laughs in store he's back from tour
Life's a trip, I don't need a lot a baggage for it
That's bad habit forming, never going back it's forward
So let us say
Never let us stray
Searching for yesterday
Death soon comes
But come what may
Everyday in your life, Breathe life in your day
So let us say
Never let us stray
Searching for yesterday
Death soon comes
But come what may
Everyday in your life, Breathe life in your day
The real problem is we think we have time right?
Others stuck on stupid, what would u do for a Klondike
True, We walk a Godly path! It's our divine right
Music is my life but I don't get caught up in limelight
Keep the rhymes tight and shine light in all hindsight
Read, study lessons and build keeping the mind right
Time is an illusion, which been proven by Top Flight
I had this rhyme in my mind while sitting at a stop light
Thinking, no fair, I really wish Jax was here, but the soul never dies so it keeps me clear
Our lifetime is just a glimpse in comparison
So many choose to don't make sense it's embarrassing
So I choose to challenge them, to elevate their path by balancing
The motion of the tic and the toc, we rippin the spot, yo
We never set out to be prisoners of consciousness,
We just want to live a life that's prosperous! Go ahead Rock to this!
So let us say
Never let us stray
Searching for yesterday
Death soon comes
But come what may
Everyday in your life, Breathe life in your day
So let us say
Never let us stray
Searching for yesterday
Death soon comes
But come what may
Everyday in your life, Breathe life in your day
I used to think that it was me against the world like PAC
But then I just remember that it's me vs me
Before you lift your voice, can you live with the choice
Yo I don't need a lot of friends, one could be worth three
Instead of barking up the wrong tree
Trees already have bark, so I play cards smartly
And watch me claim all my books in the game
Holding grudges and letting go are often looking the same
But you ain't getting back the moments that it took to complain
Or wonder why some take it hard or end up shook from your gain
My life is far from that perfect picture put in a frame
But I'm a king so I don't have to rook for a thing, nahmean
So let us say
Never let us stray
Searching for yesterday
Death soon comes
But come what may
Everyday in your life, Breathe life in your day
So let us say
Never let us stray
Searching for yesterday
Death soon comes
But come what may
Everyday in your life, Breathe life in your day
