It’s Time Lyrics by Nas
(Feat. DJ Premier, Steve Miller Band)
Ayo, Black, it’s time
Ayo, Black, it’s time
Yeah
Time traveling
Ayo, Black, it’s time
Yeah
Ayo, time flows through me
How many rhyme flows and lines can I recite with my eyes closed?
Yo, let’s shoot this movie, smoothly, listen to me
Let’s take it to the past long before the new me
I seen it when it first got tricky
Dippin’ through the city, whipping new cars to the herb spots for the sticky
I was the one by the tree in the GS3 with Biggie
Next thing you know, where the time go? it’s gone quickly
Spint down the street back where I used to be
Stompin’ grounds just touched down in QB
It’s known for violence and money
Saw a brother fresh home, he just walked down 20
I stepped out, I stretched out
I took a breath in, let a breath out
I don’t flex, don’t want clout
But what I do want to see is my brothers are winning
And all my people out there cherish the time you given
I think you know what time it is
The illest *** that ever happened
I think you know what time it is
You know what time it is
Time traveling
The illest *** that ever happened
I use every second as a ***
Every minute keeps on slipping
Time is a construct of your limits
The big bang to now
Evolution to how little time mankind has really been around
A grown, grown over 50 perspective
Is there an age limit to diss records or may it just be a message?
Kids are doing drive-bys, I’m looking like time flies
Squeezin’ hammers, even when there’s cameras up in the sky
Spark the la with the double R I drive
Pretty thugs show no love, it’s like when doves cry
Maybe I’m just too much of a smuggler minded, hustler timeless
Couple hundred cover the knuckles with diamonds
Smell it on us, from the blocks they was tellin’ on us
Wore a vest in the summer sweatin’ and they tried gettin’ on us
Prayers ’cause gangsters go to heaven and life’s weighin’ on us
Premier, play the chorus, yeah
I think you know what time it is
The illest *** that ever happened
I think you know what time it is
Time, man
Time traveling
Ayo, Black, it’s time
