Best of Times |
«Hi, hahahahaha, the first thing I have to tell you is this |
This city was made from the original music |
It is not a counterfeit, this is the real one |
This one is true, this one is real» |
Yeah, William Cosby sweaters |
There’s only one thing better than cheddar |
If life is a puzzle, I put it together |
I’m like DMC, my Run Tougher Than Leather |
I come from an era of golf hats |
Ball caps, pimp hats with feathers |
Plaid slacks with the button-up jackets to match |
I blast at any knucklehead fucking with rap |
I got to chuckle at that, rap black belt |
Motherfucker but the buckle is back |
Pro-rap, what you wanna do? |
Nothing with that |
You suck like a ho on figaro and you wack |
Niggas know it and they talk to your back |
Behind closed doors and get a good laugh |
Like that factory that niggas in rap |
Your name ain’t Seinfield if you black |
My clientele sell more than the crack that Reagan let in |
Fuck your Meagan Good friend at the Holiday Inn |
She look like her twin |
One thing’s for certain, two things for sure |
No where to work and, no way to grow |
A crazy place, we all praying for the best of times |
Ohh yeah, yea-yeah-eaah |
My mind is like a piecebook |
I can’t get no peace wherever I look |
My own worst enemy, even the evil get shook |
For the violence, the fans turn finicky |
Silly of me to think that I |
Could untie that ribbon in the sky |
Senior citizens in line |
The end sure isn’t as pure to require that same sugar high |
Rely on religion if your heart’s missing |
It won’t work, certain it’s all written |
Emerge, make 'em all listen |
Some rehearse them devilish words and put the hurt in 'em |
I mean put the hurting on 'em, with or without warning |
Been a whole year, shed a tear for him |
A year since I heard from him |
I don’t care, I know where I’m going |
One thing’s for certain, two things for sure |
No where to work and, no way to grow |
A crazy place, we all praying for the best of times |
Ohh yeah, yea-yeah-eaah |
Yo, everybody got the blues and it’s evident |
Got workers losing they jobs and they residence |
And overseas niggas filing out |
Straight wilding out, tossing they shoes at the president |
It make me think about the loot that I shell out |
If times get tight will the show still sell out? |
Po' folk need help, they call it welfare |
When rich folk need it, then y’all call it a bail out |
It make me wanna yell out, but I just chill |
Because the love for my fam is priceless |
Long as I got them we’ll be able to fight this |
Cause nigga I’m black, I was born in a financial crisis, shit! |
So no eulogies, and no two-to-threes |
I’ll survive cause being broke ain’t new to me |
New opportunities and ways to grind |
Respect your mind and celebrate the best of times |
Now let’s ride |
One thing’s for certain, two things for sure |
No where to work and, no way to grow |
A crazy place, we all praying for the best of times |
Ohh yeah, yea-yeah-eaah |
Good times, good times |
