Time Travel

(album: Dichotomy - 2015)

Some we gon' lose and some we gon' lose
We used to be balling without even knowing
We used to stay out, but now we go in
We used to be boys, but now we grown men
Some we gon' lose and some we gon' lose
We used to be balling without even knowing
We used to stay out, but now we go in
We used to be boys, but now we grown men

We used to bust raps and loved kicking flows
J's on your feet like, where you get those
Or some top ten Adidas like what, what up doe
You in the minor leagues, and yeah, I'm all pro
He got a full-length mink on twenty below
He on that Detroit nigga shit, yeah I know
I was rocking those Jordans when Jordan was playing
Now you got 'em and he retired, I'm just saying
How fresh can you be, you can't be fresher than me
You'd have to get in a time machine and go to '83
'84, '85, or maybe '86
Get some diapers, buy some Gerber's baby food and take a shit
Chief rocker worldwide rock clocker
I bought every Nike up out of Foot Locker
I could make a profit off of pasta
But I'd rather leave a horse head in your bed just like a mobster
Need to stop drinking and stop smoking weed
Pick up a book and try to learn to read
Get you a job or take your ass to school
[?], you a damn fool
You wanna know the fastest way your life could be lost?
Try to be like Jeezy, try to be like Rick Ross
You used to love hip hop and tried to be like Rakim
They wasn't being like us, we tried to be just like them
Now rapping got fake like a butt injection
Come in the game late, and they disrespecting
To wack rappers, I got this suggestion
But first I'ma ask all y'all a question
What is a DJ if he can't scratch? (Wack)
What is an emcee if he can't rap (Super wack)
What's that? That's not style
(Who are you?) Esham (Where you from?) I'm from Seven Mile
