Time Waits For No Man - Rasco, Encore

Well let’s open the file on the styles unknown to full blown

Brothers front can get their wig blown, from the back

But soul father Ras' came to bless the track

I had to drop the rhymes ill with no slack

Came to get loose, reduce that tight noose on the neck

Give me my respect

Learning, that Ras' can leave the track burning

A thousand dead guys my rhymes are still earning

Heavily sedate the fake so smash breaks

Couldn’t wait to do it, rhymes is still fluent

Get in right to it I run like Greg Gruit on tracks and drop facts

Melting down the wax

Won’t be no singing in my background profound

Known for getting down

Tearing up the town

Sounds kinda funny, don’t need the long money

My days is still sunny your nose is still runny

Rip 'em from the top

Send 'em to rock bottom

Can see the devil coming, any time can spot 'em

Lurking in the back

Waiting to pounce flat

Ras' may be skinny but every ounce be phat

No cholesterol, we came to blast y’all

Find me at the bar, drinking at last call

Sipping 80 proof, blazing up the roof

Brothers be still lying but Ras' told the truth

Now

Time waits for no man, now tell me what’s the plan

I be the man with the mic in the hand

Took me a long time just to just get the jam straight

Now we lay it straight to the plates

I freak shit and search through the ashes of raps collapse

As dirt squirts through my fingers, word’s flirt with the phoenix

But true rhyme riser again an MC’s work is never finished

So I comprise gems

My conversation is competition out for confrontation

Ras' and cornerstone throw away from total domination

Critically acclaimed, the main

Riddle your brain with game (how black?)

Honed and polished by them blue collar prowlers

Holler if you feel

Nothing’s concealed it all gravy

Full contact, combat for y’all to try and play me

Daily in and out about

My game face shouts

Clown you ain’t this same page

You assed out, we mapped out this blueprint for you and yours

Ras' passed me the pill to shoot and drill

With ill form from two feet out

30,000 leagues under the sea we still beat it

I’m dirty, dousing your weed with DDT to make you tweak out

Couldn’t remove my clique with a Heimlich maneuver

You a damn simp, if you think that time wait for losers

Get this shit straight

What I dictate on thin pages

It’s to lend tapes

I make shit happen ASAP

As clowns watch niggas die

Like H. Rap Brown

Then you wonder where we take rap now

Full steam ahead

Smash mouth, double set back

Me and my man be out here pushing fools wigs back

Like didat

Yo, still the main course of course

Yo' rhymes is the side dish, couldn’t hide this

Lyrical bliss, the tactics be the illest

Killing they rhymes but still claim they the realest

Me and the crew ensure tight take flight

Riding us close but didn’t see them brake lights

Bumper to bumper in traffic, blast it

Synthetic, pathetic, you cornball plastic

Simple and plain we still trying to maintain

Playing the coast to yank niggas out the game

Make it a cinch to send fools to the bench

Playing 'em close and won’t give a half inch

Up in they face we bring it straight no chase

100% relentless no space

Make it a race you get ran out the socks

Better yet left and still standing in the blocks

Doper than rocks of cocaine powder puff

You added the girls but still wasn’t hot enough

Added guitars became stars dressed up

And now you can’t get like nine 12's pressed up

Niggas ain’t checking for you, what you gon' do?

Was hyping the jam but now getting ran through

Me and my team be going straight for the spleen

Stepping to us would only be a pipe dream

Get off the crack we 'bout to lay 'em dead flat

And make 'em go broke then see where they heads at

Raise the stakes, my first joint is out the gate

You niggas can lag, I got to get my shit straight
