Andre Nickatina - Awake Like an Owl lyrics

"What time is it!"

This is one of those, A1-Yola raps
Stick in ya mind, stick in ya mind
Stick in ya mind

When you up all night
You see things you shouldn't have saw
Because the night gets raw
Drama is thicker than Skippy's peanut butter
Imagine the worried thoughts of
A young man's mother
Feelin's empty, Love don't live here anymore
Awake like an owl at a quarter to four
Don't blink, a Caddy just ran a red light
Bumpin' thug life, man I blend with the night
They call me greedy to get a girl a beaty
It's Andre Nickatina
I'm like a genie in a beanie
El Dorado 88 Cadillac, all black
Copy cats try to match
But they style ain't exactly the same
Somebody said, "Freeze, it's a raid!"
You know cops are comin' when a brotha smells
Glazed doughnuts, hold up
Patna fill it to the rim
Me and money go together like
A feather in a brim

I'm a magician some say my ain't the same
But, I ain't trippin'
A girl be yellin but I don't listen
Crooked crow playas seem to like my style
Why's that killa whale

I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!

(What are you baby?) i'm a Raider
Camouflaged in silver and the black
Tryin' to blitz through the line
For the quarter back sack of the money
I dress like it's cold, not sunny
But slyer than a fox tryin' to catch a bunny
In the snow i'm try'na get paid like a ho
Or better yet the pimp that's
Rakin' in her dough like a baker
But check it, who's the king of the caine?
And what's that tiga's name with
The Macintosh computer brain mind
Or should I say mine?
Sometimes I gotta lie to protect my crime
I'll call my lawyer!
Bail bonds keep me on the streets
Three in the mornin' I'm at
The club with the freaks but, I got hawk eye
Meanin' that the joint is bein' watched
Drinkin' with the killas that be
Pushin' up the cost for the drought season
Season up they best
But those be the ones that don't have to rest
Like an owl

I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!

I set a trap
I have to spin a web like a spider
Don't strike matches
Hate child-proof lighters stay awake
Witness how I pick up the pace
First I see a girl's butt
Then I look at her face i can't explain
I'm eatin' garlic bread with the steak
For the narcs brothas droppin' cream by the
Fiends when they part i'm like a sentinel
Known to be the principal original
Lookin' for the road that made
It they call it federal i'm a general
But yet at times I blaze with my lieutenant
Popeye, who got the spinach? Cough, choke
Feelin' no remorse for the roach
Choppin' up freaks as ya
Lounge with your folks playin' dice
You take a chance at the crap game
It's all about the money baby
It's the rap game and I'm an owl

I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!

Uh and I'm out uh, Shit
It's a planned emergency
(it's a planned emergency)
It's a planned emergency
(it's a planned emergency) what, STOP!
Shit, fade me, fade me, fade me, fade me
Fade me

"What time is it!"
