Reks - 25th Hour lyrics

"Oh, it's you again! Don't you ever give up?"
"At one time I thought of giving up
But now I think differently"
"You can help change things
By learning more about your culture"
"and believing in yourself"
"Oh yeah? You gotta be joking"
"It's no joke tell me!"

Preemo! (Reks, "No time for looking back
It's done") Listen
("You better take off, before I break off")
("I don't give a fuck
I don't play that shit")
("No time for looking back, it's done")

I'mma write this here rhyme like
Guru's in the passenger
Standin on the East Coast
Starin out to Africa
Accolades, Escalades fade
My vernacular remain in tact for
The generation that's comin after
The average rapper you praise days
Numbered like a calendar
Challengers caliber mediocre enter
The catheter iV's, wrap 'em up, mad as fuck
Need a ladder up
Escalator, elevator, skyscraper, hella haters
On Preemo beats
Meditate a bit to elevate my spit
Scribble daily scripts, hell in wit
Angels I strangle the
Instrument mangle chops, can't go pop
I gotta remain boom bap, true that
Who that be? Mr "Say Goodnight"
I'mma blaze the mic willingly
Kill or be killed industry
And the realest of real emcees
Solo flow enemy, future of the rap
Golden Era dead
("No time for looking back, it's done")

We in the 25th hour, it's now or never
We gotta get it before it's gone forever
Remember in the end time wait's for no man
What's your plan?
("No time for looking back, it's done")

We in the 25th hour, it's now or never
We gotta get it before it's gone forever
Remember in the end time wait's for no man
What's your plan?
("No time for looking back, it's done")

Before I fade to black, face the mirror
Face the fact fate appear to backtrack where
The plaques at? Where the love for the cat?
Fortified flow, fire from fire like fame
Foresayer in Josiah desire to perspire
The 25th hour upon me, calmly walk the wire
Annihilate enemy ire any higher than
I are in the sky
Or heaven I require less than mediocre
I reawoken the deeper thoughts
Of sleepin prophets
Regardless of others offers
I authentic dialect, i'm a vet
Y'all are just wakin up, 'Say Goodnight'
Slap a rapper, take his mic, greater height
Spit a rhyme saber like
Inner mind paid the price, A-B-C-alike
Hey Preem, we a tight, chemistry
Any beats sent to me I'mma instantly write
'til the fingertips crippled
It'll be sort of arthritis to finish a line
If you more than rhyme this
("No time for looking back, it's done")

We in the 25th hour, it's now or never
We gotta get it before it's gone forever
Remember in the end time wait's for no man
What's your plan?
("No time for looking back, it's done")

You ever chant with the rebels
Dance with the devils?
Answered the higher levels
Ride with the iron elbow to elbow
In hellish circles where the heat is echoed
You ever let go
Stresses from pressures boilin
Beyond the kettle?
You ever petrified, exorcised demons
Believing you leave 'em breathin
They'll get even odds are beyond y'all
Achievin peaceful means of seekin deacons
Ain't no way out, they 'bout beat
By any means ain't necessary but they bury
Them very young, hell or heaven
Them adolescents, is pedalin
Packin metal and settlin
Street wars, revolves life behind tight walls
When I falls, psychos strike the right chords
They at pause, bumpin Ricky Ross
Kids is on crack, they lost
Wipe a lot, no time for looking back
It's done
Golden era over and dead, I'm over your heads
"No time for looking back, it's done"

We in the 25th hour, it's now or never
We gotta get it before it's gone forever
Remember in the end time wait's for no man
What's your plan?
("No time for looking back, it's done")

("You better take off, before I break off")
("I don't give a fuck
I don't play that shit")
("No time for looking back, it's done")
("You better take off, before I break off")
("No time for looking back, it's done")
