Nas, Steve Miller Band, DJ Premier - It's Time

Ayo, Black, it's time (do-do, do-do-do) Ayo, Black, it's time (word) It's time (keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'), yeah (Do-do, do-do-do) time travelin' Ayo, Black, it's time, yeah (keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin') 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 Whippin' 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 Spin down the street back where I used to be Stompin' grounds, just touched down in QB, uh 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 wanna see is my brothers are winnin' And all my people out there, cherish the time you given (Do-do) I think you know what time it is (do-do-do) T-t-the illest shit that ever happened, I think you know what time it is (time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin') I-I think you know what time it is (do-do) time travelin' (do-do-do) T-t-the illest shit that ever happened (time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin') I use every second as a weapon, every minute keeps on slippin' 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 doin' drive-bys, I'm lookin' like, time flies Squeezin' hammers even when there's cameras up in the sky Spark the lah with the double R I drive Pretty thug show no love, it's like, "When Doves Cry" Maybe I'm just too much of a smuggler-minded hustler time Let's couple-hunnid, cover the knuckles with diamonds Smell it on us from the blocks, they was tellin' on us War vets in the summer, sweatin', they tried gettin' on us Prayers, 'cause gangstas go to Heaven and life's weighin' on us Premier, play the chorus, yeah (Do-do) I think you know what time it is (do-do-do) T-t-the illest shit that ever happened, I think you know what time it is (time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin') It's time, man (Do-do) time travelin' (do-do-do) Ayo, Black, it's time (do-do) (Do-do, do-do-do) (Do-do)
