[Nature]   At the right major 24, I'd done seen it all done it all   Some dreams stay fresh and some are spoiled   Dealing with time went to spring, summer, fall   Its crazy changes, is this that made me famous?   I come a long way from Timbs, minimum wages   Stocking caps summer jobs pockets flat   It's funny how my childhood idols now be coping cracks   Ain't knocking at them, fortunately life is too short to see   It's only right we move accordingly at every second   I use to carry heavy weapons, previously cocked   Tucked in my shirt for every session, but hold up   The two-six beer made me grow up   Came home to the damn same dream with no luck   And half the clique strong, the other half moved on   Some with new lives and new wives niggaz live long   The foulest thing about time is still ticks when you gone      [Nas]   For those who lived the way I lived we came from a long way   From wiping coal from our eye lids from raps hottest   Smoking lye to the track guidance, 'member back then   Before mack 10's expensive bottles, had a sick mind   Niggaz taught me how to get mine   We often sit courts they get tossed that get spit lines   To all niggaz that the Lord seemed to legit time   Why we plan to live for-ev he had a different design   Is it safe to say we all parish on the sacred day   With my luck soon as I reach the gate that made me pay... pray   Minutes go by indo-go-high the specialist decked out dark specks finessing   Used to play catch a kiss same girls back then now leave us messages   A whole lot, travel to my old spot where we sold rock although it's trifle   Ain't nothing changed as like time is cycle      [AZ]   Yo, wake up to the world stay in charge of your dream   Keep your vision focus get wise and large your cream   Marketing scheme so many in the dark it's un-seemed   Caught up between perhaps rap was a fortunate thing   Forced to be king from hustlin to supporting them fiends   Busting guns, I had no remorse as a team   Rocking bird stones my first get big nursed a dome   Its hurts to zone now I realize I'm on the surface alone   Time ticks devilish mind design quits leave you line quick   And cause you to die behind shit, mathematics   Master 120 I'm Aziatic, I'm amazed with magic   Cousins with loosen that made me savage   Life changed once you established with the right game   Love the night vane found the new way to fight pain   Clocks never stop its all the way to the top   Trying to freeze time that's why I iced the face on my watch
