Lyrics to Now or Never by DJ Switch ft Shane Eagle, Proverb, Reason & Kwesta (It's the Switch up, baby) Man what happened to rap Look Man what happened to rap [Verse 1: Shane Eagle] Man, these rappers so typical I drop a smash record All these rappers so minuscule It's funny how they compare me to n***as who've hit their pinnacle If I don't buy my mom a house this year I'm going cynical I don't need publicity Cause Eagle got the recipe All I used to score was A's back in high school Don't be testing me Back when I was growing up Gang signs they were throwing up Rappers say they in the game And I don't see 'em showin' up Went from blowing trees To being on joints with OGs But I'm connected to this money like my paper Siamese And I make these n***as grab a hearse And when I'm on a feature Make these n***as change their verse God dammit [Hook] Man what happened to rap (x2) Say, say what happened to rap Hip hop used to drop bars and now we just dance/damned/dab It's now or never, never It's time to change the game, game [Verse 2: Proverb] Whatever happened to clever rappin', the heads is askin' Now instead of pa**ion, the level is trash to get the cash in The question I'm asking: Did it die with the veterans back then? Or does it live residing inside irrelevant has beens Like the Proverb dude, but I know the truth That's why I jump in a vocal booth To show to you how to mould the truth into multiple quotables Put soul in the booth Using flow as a tool Heads enroll in my school I show and I prove Just how the oldest do, they still the coldest too (damn) And I did it so comfortably My scripture are humble pieces Rumble in that jungle steez There's no denying That I bury it a hundred feet And the level is higher once the DJ Switch to Ganja Beats Eish, but they turnin' up and they turnin' up Nothing wrong with that But their songs is wack and we learning what! Hands have gone higher If like me you've heard enough Then we should build a bonfire of all their tracks and burn 'em up It's now or never, never It's time to change the game, game Man, what happened to rap (Ga'ahd Body) Man, what happened to rap [Verse 3: Reason] Forget a now or never it's now or forever, forever and ever They feel the presence every year like the month of December To make sure you don't forget I got much to remember Only because I give a F like I'm Juju Malema To you who enter with new perceptions choose your dilemmas Do what you do how you do it or just do what the rest does Either way, know you're going toe to toe with the Kwestas, the Xs And that's just you keeping up with the Kardashians The birth of greatness so feel the contractions Exceeded all expectations by a certain percentage And STILL earn the respect I deserve And I get the real deals Surrounded by plastic like a Jordan 11 Original copy for now and forever You duplicates should copy me now or will never Then we'll all be one and the same like Euphonik and Themba The difference is I'm driven 'cause I know it's now or never It's now or never, never It's time to change the game, game [Verse 4: Kwesta] First off, f** the deep voice I got actual raps So what's your invoice? Skinny negro that she might wanna feel on She f**ing with the music I put my Celine D on Off the leash yo I'm on beast mode I got the whole city jacked and you me know The guy to dethrone I'm still a king though I'm key, bored n***as come around just to c-notes I eat off words B Your crumbs don't serve me Y'all tweet like birdies Your thumbs don't scare me So please y'all better be done, early Or else I put a hole in one, Ernie So bang bang or buck buck There's a Reason why my Proverbs stay high as Eagle Ya ngum phetha So eintlik la maufanya hai ke mpitshi Usanok'shawa nange Teargas member Now or never [Hook] Man what happened to rap (x2) Say, say what happened to rap Hip hop used to drop bars and now we just dance/damned/dab
