The Foreign Exchange - Downtime (Nicky Troutman's Bounce To The Ounce Remix) Lyrics
Yo, ay, ay, ayo, check it, ayo I be the rap golden childBut that's old school like Heineken's and lowering browsUsed to get bent but I'm sober nowAnd these days that's how I hold it downLook over crowds like a fatal attackOverdose style, I'm stopping niggas dead in they tracksBefore they even start a beef to get it settled on waxYou better email or send in a faxDon't make the most of itYou talking loud just 'cause the hoes love itI treat beef like otiose and y'all ain't trying to go publicOr go at it, supposedly mad at meTripping with name brand, emotional baggageIt's big time, the ride don't be approaching the averageI'm roasting you faggots 'cause I'm so diplomaticAnd that's just the way we doing it y'all'Cause I ain't got no ***** around timeLike Cesar, yo, I woke up from a dream todayThinking 'bout how I'm gon' get some *****ing cream todaySo many emcees to crush and teams to slaySo many rhymes to write, so many things to sayAnd yo, we still ain't willies or thugsCan't concede new thoughtsHip-hop needs some infertility drugs'Cause this rap shit supposed to be artNiggas trying to eat but everybody got a grocery cartRap should be beautiful like raindrops or walks in the parkA child's first steps or even playing roles in the darkI'm parallel to the culture just composing my thoughtsComing back to the music we supposedly lostGet some G's one day and we can hopefully flossGet together for real, together for real'Cause I ain't got no ***** around timeI spend my moments in the lab putting down rhymesAnd if you ain't fam' get the ***** from around mineI'm making sure my cards are dealt rightSound bomb but stealth micsAnd when it's on stage it's hell tightAnd give a ***** what you felt like'Cause it ain't given till I say it is, nigga, stop trying to help IkeAnd get the ***** out my spotlight with all your spittingThis year we getting that turkey with all the trimmingsOn tour with all the womenLooking like we pushing more weight than Richard SimmonsWith chicks from more religions'Cause that's how we doing it and that's how we livingIf you're getting it good, then yo, we gotta get it right now
