E-Dubble, 27Lights - See Me When You See Me lyrics

Hey yo, 1996 was different
Lost BIG and shit, we miss him
We need it back, we need the tracks
We need the rap to bridge the gap that exists
"Tipper" Gore said he cursed too much
Well, I still copped those CD's
FYI, FYE, ain't really got shit on me though
Yo, 'til I blow like C4
Never wanna be a star or a hero
Got a lot of soul, so I never fold
I field goals like I'm playing
In the league though
Yo, see gold through the peephole
Pay bills, no more repo
We hit them J's in just the same
Way that you hit your free throws

'96 was live, you can catch me in my whip
With a CD from the time when
The music was the shit
I bet a hundred on myself
So a hundred's in my pocket
I'm going to the store and you
Know just what I'm copping

Been at it for a minute
And all my people know it
The years can take their toll, but shit
It makes for better poems
So I'm tryna paint these pictures
These pictures get me lifted
They take me to a place
Where I embrace my inhibitions
It goes: backseat windows up
Smoked out, boxed up two-tone, two cups
(See me when you see me)
I got one chance, one life we roll no dice
We sold no hype (See me when you see me)

(I said) gimme a minute
So I can make a decision
I said, gimme a minute
So I can make a decision

Hey uh, hey yo, I never play the wrong songs
When I'm in the right mood
Catch me feeding that juke
While the boppers all choose
I got a hundred in my pocket
The music's never stopping
Even when they shut us down
We got plenty other options

Been at it for a minute
And all my people know it
The years can take their toll, but shit
It makes for better poems
So I'm tryna paint these pictures
These pictures get me lifted
They take me to a place
Where I embrace my inhibitions
It goes: backseat windows up
Smoked out, boxed up two-tone, two cups
(See me when you see me)
I got one chance, one life we roll no dice
We sold no hype (See me when you see me)

I said
Gimme a minute so I can make a decision
I said
Gimme a minute so I can make a decision
I said
Gimme a minute so I can make a decision
I've got a beat with a bounce
And some lyrics with vision
You can call this the hook
You can call this the chorus
I've got a feeling you're with me
So turn it up if you're for it i said
Gimme a minute so I can make a decision

Been at it for a minute
And all my people know it
The years can take their toll, but shit
It makes for better poems
So I'm tryna paint these pictures
These pictures get me lifted
They take me to a place
Where I embrace my inhibitions
It goes: backseat windows up
Smoked out, boxed up two-tone, two cups
(See me when you see me)
I got one chance, one life we roll no dice
We sold no hype (See me when you see me)
