Asheru - For Old Time's Sake lyrics

It's about that time, it's about that time to get paid {x2} Coolin' in the shade, yeah [Verse 1] To all my emcees, djs, b-boys and writers Pullin' all nighters tryna make it right Consider this a salute from yours truly Asheru, the human beacon, speaking truth to light Just keep doing your thing and represent for your culture Don't let nobody misrepresent you Like these cats who would rather you dumb your sh** down For the ma**es than to rock for the intelligent few Sometimes I feel like we need a new definition of the words that define us Music that we love, maybe it's just because I got too much ambition and Wanna be more than just a thug in a club I traveled all over the world, wined and dined and had a good time With folks of every color and hue From my different conversations and combinations of experience I been able to change my worldview Hip hop is a universal language We all speak fluently and shapeshift to fit congruently Started in the Bronx around the same time I was born And now look, it's a worldwide community Built upon the foundations of peace, unity, love and havin' fun Word to Zulu Nation Cause these'll be the same principles that I'mma hand off to my son [Hook] [I'm MC Asheru, know what I'm sayin, do it for old time's sake] [Verse 2] Delivery is fresh like produce, its no use tryna keep up I suggest you hit the gym and beef up If you think you wanna tussle, I got the extra muscle for that a** And you the trash,i gotta sweep up This ain't that processed, thoughtless, five minute ready, store bought, out the box, prepackaged 16s Its that, gourmet, raw deal, sashimi, made to order, 24 to rip ya inseams Emcees these days got it all, f**ed up with their incredible quest to gain Mad cream, rockin fur with the Louis Vuitton Enough j**elry on, I mean DAMN is you a pimp or drag queen? And these broads must be feelin it too, when er' one is real in they crew Girl Lets keep it actual, factual I know you only wanna be seen, but I'm sayin you an African Queen What the f** is a Blonde Natural? [Verse 3] Nevertheless, I digress Let me just get back to the original point that I was making Can't pay these bama's no mind, cause its no time Plus the bottom line to it, y'all gon keep fakin
