NOW IS THE TIME Rakim (Ft. B.G., Compton Menace & Hus KingPin)

[Intro: Rakim]
Uh, yeah
Time is now
It's time for everything, but more importantly
Make sure you know what time it is, there's a lot going on
Times is changing

[Verse 1: Rakim]
Life ain't a game, but I'm winning (Uh) knowing my opponent is death
Loving every minute 'til not a moment is left
Like I ain't got a moment to rest before they bury me
The goal is to be one of the best and hope the legacy
Is what enormous is, performances stun him (Uh-huh)
The enormous lift street corners gеt from him
And all the chicks love him (Uh), the author еnforcin' this
Immoral is e pluribus unum (E pluribus unum)
Every day I get money
I'm good (Uh-huh), I'm still spending '86 money
Pull up in that new Brink truck, banked-up
Soon as these dudes get caked up, they bankrupt
Or banged-up (Uh) soon as they step foot on the curb
I get that love in the hood I deserve for puttin' in work (That's right)
Supply 'em like cook it and serve (Uh-huh), still so good it's absurd
How I feel, it's hard to put it in words
Like the present time (Uh), it's hard to capture the moment
Different rules, so many different views, that's lack of focus
Food for thought, now they make fool for thought (Uh-huh)
They brainwashed what you was taught, took your past and stole it
Buried truth with lies and leave it half decoded (Uh-huh)
If it ain't addin' up, do the math, expose it
This division is even more complicated after COVID (Uh-huh)
I feel it's time now, don't be the last to know it
