Now Or Never
[00:04.59] It’s the Switch up, baby
[00:06.63] Man what happened to rap?
[00:08.48] Look
[00:09.54] Man what happened to rap?
[00:12.62] Man, these rappers so typical
[00:14.49] I drop a smash record
[00:15.82] All these rappers so minuscule
[00:17.41] It’s funny how they compare me to niggas who’ve hit their pinnacle
[00:20.33] If I don’t buy my mom a house this year
[00:22.19] I’m going cynical
[00:23.00] I don’t need publicity
[00:24.58] 'Cause Eagle got the recipe
[00:25.91] All I used to score was A’s back in high school
[00:28.04] Don’t be testing me
[00:28.85] Back when I was growing up
[00:30.43] Gang signs they were throwing up
[00:32.02] Rappers say they in the game
[00:33.35] And I don’t see ’em showin’ up
[00:34.69] Went from blowing trees
[00:36.02] To being on joints with OGs
[00:37.35] But I’m connected to this money like my paper Siamese
[00:41.87] And I make these niggas grab a hearse
[00:43.46] And when I’m on a feature
[00:44.79] Make these niggas change their verse
[00:46.38] God dammit
[00:47.61] Man what happened to rap?
[00:50.54] Man what happened to rap?
[00:52.92] Say, say what happened to rap?
[00:55.05] Hip hop used to drop bars and now we just dab
[00:57.97] It’s now or never
[01:01.15] It’s time to change the game
[01:03.81] Whatever happened to clever rappin’, the heads is askin’
[01:07.00] Now instead of passion, the level is trash to get the cash in
[01:09.81] The question I’m asking: Did it die with the veterans back then?
[01:13.00] Or does it live residing inside irrelevant has beens
[01:15.65] Like the Proverb dude, but I know the truth
[01:17.42] That’s why I jump in a vocal booth
[01:18.75] To show to you how to mold the truth into multiple quotables
[01:21.42] Put soul in the booth
[01:22.47] Using flow as a tool
[01:23.53] Heads enroll in my school
[01:24.59] I show and I prove
[01:25.28] Just how the oldest do, they still the coldest too (damn)
[01:29.01] And I did it so comfortably
[01:30.33] My scripture are humble pieces
[01:31.92] Rumble in that jungle steez
[01:33.68] There’s no denying
[01:34.74] That I bury it a hundred feet
[01:36.24] And the level is higher once the DJ Switch to Ganja Beats
[01:39.69] Eish, but they turnin’ up and they turnin’ up
[01:41.99] Nothing wrong with that
[01:43.33] But their songs is wack and we learning what?
[01:45.87] Hands have gone higher
[01:46.92] If like me you’ve heard enough
[01:47.98] Then we should build a bonfire of all their tracks and burn ’em up
[01:50.81] It’s now or never
[01:53.78] It’s time to change the game
[01:57.93] Man what happened to rap?
[02:00.87] Man what happened to rap?
[02:02.10] Forget a now or never it’s now or forever, forever and ever
[02:05.81] They feel the presence every year like the month of December
[02:08.73] To make sure you don’t forget
[02:10.33] I got much to remember
[02:11.65] Only because I give a F like I’m Juju Malema
[02:14.57] To you who enter with new perceptions choose your dilemmas
[02:17.49] Do what you do how you do it or just do what the rest does
[02:20.42] Either way, know you’re going toe to toe with the Kwestas, the Xs
[02:23.61] And that’s just you keeping up with the Kardashians
[02:27.32] The birth of greatness so feel the contractions
[02:29.10] Exceeded all expectations by a certain percentage
[02:32.30] And still earn the respect I deserve
[02:34.15] And I get the real deals
[02:35.74] Surrounded by plastic like a Jordan 11
[02:38.56] Original copy for now and forever
[02:41.11] You duplicates should copy me now or will never
[02:44.03] Then we’ll all be one and the same like Euphonik and Themba
[02:46.95] The difference is I’m driven ’cause I know it’s now or never
[02:49.34] It’s now or never, never
[02:52.26] It’s time to change the game, game
[02:56.41] First off, fuck the deep voice
[02:58.54] I got actual raps
[02:59.76] So what’s your invoice?
[03:01.62] Skinny negro that she might wanna feel on
[03:04.28] She fucking with the music I put my Celine D on
[03:07.36] Off the leash yo
[03:08.70] I’m on beast mode
[03:10.57] I got the whole city jacked and you me know
[03:13.22] The guy to dethrone
[03:14.55] I’m still a king though
[03:15.78] I’m key, bored niggas come around just to c-notes
[03:18.71] I eat off words B
[03:19.94] Your crumbs don’t serve me
[03:21.79] Y’all tweet like birdies
[03:22.85] Your thumbs don’t scare me
[03:24.45] So please y’all better be done, early
[03:27.29] Or else I put a hole in one, Ernie
[03:30.46] So bang bang or buck buck
[03:32.22] There’s a reason why my proverbs stay high as eagles
[03:35.05] Ya ngum phetha
[03:36.38] So eintlik la maufanya hai ke mpitshi
[03:39.03] Usanok’shawa nange Teargas member
[03:41.32] Now or never
[03:43.34] Man what happened to rap?
[03:46.00] Man what happened to rap?
[03:48.39] Say, say what happened to rap?
[03:50.79] Hip hop used to drop bars and now we just dab
