lyrics

you needs me, I be it I lives it
i see it, i breath it, what? i bleed it yea
you needs me, I be it I lives it
i see it i breath it, what? i bleed it yea
time is mine c’mon c’mon
time to shine follow along
time is mine you’ve been waiting to long
time is mine from this moment on

must move rise beyond the upper echelon
provide light to the art like Harlem’s renaissance
flow art from the heart like Louie Armstrong
born to be an icon, once again it begins go on,
follow a leader the voice making noise in yo' speaker
flammable ether burn like a nine milli-heater
turn doubters into firm believers
I’m a dominant speaker a permanent figure
raps next prominent feature, bet, get familiar
not your typical just lethal in deep con la familia

you needs me, I be it I lives it
i see it i breath it, what? i bleed it yea
you needs me, I be it I lives it
i see it i breath it, what? i bleed it yea
time is mine c’mon c’mon
time to shine follow along
time is mine you’ve been waiting to long
time is mine from this moment on

You know I’m living this Hip-Hop runs in my veins
watch my blood spill on the page a vivid display
an array thoughts captured through literature
one hundred percent raw yea consider it pure
travel my terrain in a force feed game
ima bully my way through with the opportunity gave
knock the window straight out the pane
and leave a stain on everywhere that I rein
this ain’t no pharcyde song they won’t be passing me by
ain’t no part time shit yo it’s the rest of my life
yo like Kweli said man we got to get by
so if you feel like I feel put your hands in the sky c’mon

you needs me, I be it, I lives it
i see it i breath it, what? i bleed it yea
you needs me, I be it, I lives it
i see it i breath it, what? i bleed it yea
time is mine c’mon c’mon
time to shine follow along
time is mine you’ve been waiting to long
time is mine from this moment on

Florida heat out the southeast
i flow for streets fluidly more than usually
speak for peeps dying to be free from tyranny
unleashing deep painful poetry openly
we coming forth heroically
to establish an authentic latin identity
tragic if we let be a vanished history
so we must resurrect it collectively

you needs me I be it I lives it
i see it i breath it, what? i bleed it yea
you needs me I be it I lives it
i see it i breath it, what? i bleed it yea
time is mine c’mon c’mon
time to shine follow along
time is mine you’ve been waiting to long
time is mine from this moment on
