Elder - LA Times lyrics

[Verse 1] Welcome to the next one, this the granddaddy of them all You're my step son, told you i shouldn't get involved I'd have left em, brushed it under carpet when i swept them Hit you with wow, just to teach you all lesson There's something in my rearview, there's something in the rap Look at all the people that I ain't never getting back Loaded with the rounds, I go bar for bar You never sell, I'm saying its an awful loss You don't love music, dawg you just off and on This for the tracks rapped often on This for the list of greatest that did it I ain't never stop till I cross them off At the red light, gotta catch my breath Dawg gotta get my head right I'ma need some space man catch me on the red eye Couldn't see your face, y'all sleeping on the bed like Listen how you say it like, err night [Hook] These, were the times,if you know didn't know Em' blasting out the speaker of the stereo She's fine like them girls in the videos And I'm stuck, I don't think I'm ever letting go [Verse 2] Welcome to my rookie season, favorite girl in attendance The height of my success, depends on all my friendships Should I, keep focused and miss out on all the b**hes? I know, I made my way with them, and now all of it switches Until it tells me you are nothing new though Forget about the future and spit on what you do know In case you hear me, rearrange the whole flow And bring it right back as soon people screaming don't go! How about McKinley? You told me you would never leave Once I finished high school I was going straight to league I was never lied to, though I'd probably like to Really figure out what makes you tick and whats inside you Never going to lie down, Sus in the eyebrow Look at you looking at me, I tell them bye now Where ever y'all come from, go on, get it Whinehouse Whatever I meant it, wonder what you'd find out [Hook] These, were the times,if you know didn't know Em' blasting out the speaker of the stereo She's fine like them girls in the videos And I'm stuck, I don't think I'm ever letting go [Verse 3] Damn girl, is it real no longer? Pounding the liquor, make me feel so stronger Oh! What a genius, I had seen it, premonitions Get them straight As, I'm on the brink of new addiction Diamonds in the eyes, hard to see you're being truthful Product of a madness when the city's never neutral Got my old mind wise, I'm trying to keep it youthful I've done my own crimes that's doing more than what its used for You had embodied my mind and my soul, and this hope for the best had me out of control Look at this hell, why won't it fold? Probably the reason this boy 'bout to blow I'm chosen, J hit the light, I'm focused Gold with mic I'm holding Flow kinda right, I know this It's time y'all to know me like [Outro] These were the times These were the times These were the times These were the times
