Aceyalone - Here and Now lyrics

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 motherf**in' 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 bullsh**tin' 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 sh** 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 f** 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 a** 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 Motherf** the day, motherf** the trial
