When I first splashed out the water, it was all wet
|
Covered in blood, mama covered with sweat
|
The umbilical cord wrapped around my neck
|
Chokin' me, doctor pushin' me and pokin' me
|
I said to the motherfuckin' nurse "You must be jokin' me"
|
Ten fingers, ten toes like it's supposed to be
|
Thank god it ain't no coke in me
|
That's what my momma spoke to me
|
She said, "Son, your uzi weighs a ton"
|
The world for you has just begun, now go Darien have some fun
|
But don't abuse time on earth 'cause time's worth more than gold
|
The here is here and the now is now and the world is hell and cold
|
So off into the street I strode
|
I think I'm supposed to take your head as far as I was told
|
It's a shake-shake of the dice, you should take-take my advice
|
You dealin' with snakes and mice, that means you can't win
|
But losin' I'd never have trouble choosin', 'cause what I'm gon' use 'em
|
If it ain't worth doin' now, it ain't worth doin' at all
|
I ain't bullshittin' wit y'all
|
|
Your life is here and now
|
No need to beat your brow
|
These moments won't belong to you, tomorrow
|
|
Well here I am, here I stand, here I be
|
Behind this mic tryin'a set my life free
|
Let my shit be testimony of a G
|
Who seen sights that other people just couldn't see
|
They say "Where you wanna do it?" I say "Here"
|
They say "When you wanna do it?" I say "Now"
|
They say "How?" I say "With my style, one of the few things I got in this world
|
My family, a couple friends, my beautiful baby girl"
|
And procrastination, lack of motivation in your operation
|
I'm sorry but I just don't have the patience
|
You'll never get a second chance to dance
|
While you sit on your hands, we spit out the jams for the fans
|
And I'm so far advanced, I had to bring it back some
|
And I said fuck it, let's take it to the maximum
|
Like walking with your legs broken, mic spoken
|
Arms draggin, staggerin' and laughin', here and now
|
I don't cry later, I put it down now, I don't wanna try later
|
I seize the time, the eves from behind
|
I freeze-frame the game for the grind, I came for your mind
|
Not for the fame, but the deaf, dumb, and blind
|
'cause everybody's gonna get just what come to 'em
|
Find your God, and run to 'em
|
|
I wanna talk now, no you can't call me back
|
You're too anxious, yeah, you could call me that
|
I wanna eat now 'cause there the food right there
|
No I can't wait, I just want my fair share
|
So where the food at? Call all the shots at
|
"Patience is a virtue," Yeah man, I got that
|
But my clock reads half past a monkey's ass
|
And a quarter to his balls, and it's moving fast
|
I just wish some people wouldn't dick around
|
'cause I want it here and now, I can't stick around
|
Yeah, so I probably won't be in the lobby
|
Waitin' for Bobby to give me a jobby-jobby
|
Hey Simo, primo, Kemo-sabe
|
Knees knobby, but stand firm, not wobbly
|
So where we at? ight here, when time is a now
|
Motherfuck the day, motherfuck the trial
|
|

Here and Now
