THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE - Downtime (Nicky Troutman's Bounce To The Ounce Remix) lyrics

rate me

Yo, ay-y-y-yo, check it

Aiyyo I be the rap golden child

That's old school like Heinekens and lowering brows

Used to get bent but I'm sober now

And these days that's how I hold it down

Look over crowds like a fatal attack

Overdose style, I'm stopping niggas dead in they tracks

Before they even start a beef to get it settled on wax

You better email or send in a fax, don't make the most of it

You talking loud just cause the hoes love it

I treat beef like otiose and y'all ain't tryna go public

Or go at it, supposedly mad at me

Tripping with name brand emotional baggage

It's big time, the ride don't be approaching the average

I'm roasting you faggots cause I'm so diplomatic

And that's just the way we doing it y'all

Cause I ain't got no fuck around time

Like Cesar, yo I woke up from a dream today

Thinking bout how I'm gon' get some fuckin cream today

So many emcees to crush and teams to slay

So many rhymes to write, so many things to say

And yo we still ain't willies or thugs, can't concede new thoughts

Hip Hop needs some infertility drugs

Cause this rap shit supposed to be art

Niggas tryna eat but everybody got a grocery cart

Rap should be beautiful like raindrops or walks in the park

A child's first steps or even playing roles in the dark

I'm parallel to the culture just composing my thoughts

Coming back to the music we supposedly lost

Get some Gs one day and we can hopefully floss

Get together for real, together for real

Cause I ain't got no fuck around time

I spend my moments in the lab putting down rhymes

And if you ain't fam, get the fuck from around mine

I'm making sure my cards are dealt right

Sound bomb but stealth mics, and when it's on stage it's hell tight

And give a fuck what you felt like

Cause it ain't given till I say it is

Nigga, stop tryna help Ike

And get the fuck out my spotlight with all your spitting

This year we getting that turkey with all the trimmings

On tour with all the womens, looking like we pushing more weight

Than Richard Simmons with chicks from more religions

Cause that's how we doing it and that's how we living

If you're getting it good, then yo, we gotta get it right now
