Lyrics

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, I represent a time
**** rather die than get caught lyin'
And be the biggest clown of all time
See me, I represent a time
When your word was all you had
'Cause you's a reflection of your mom and your dad
See me, I represent a time
Where your heart was your position
You can speak the word of God, but will they listen? Hmm
I represent a time
When the **** we was following went to following us 'cause we done got it poppin'
[Verse 1]
Be on top until the end of time
When it's dinner time, I bet I be first at the table like a finish line
Will enable killing favor, Tip'll turn the turntables
Cain and Abel, modern day, they watch this shit like paid cable
Lucky just to have a home, even if it ain't stable
Angel mama, mom able, grandmama
Other generation's somewhere out on OnlyFans, show it to you if you paying
Toast to the good days, wonder where the joy went
Wonder if it sank with the decline of employment
A door to die, left they family here in torment (Hmm)
I been popping since BBD poison
From trapping to rapping, kick down doors, let my boys in
[Chorus]
I represent a time
**** rather die than get caught lyin'
And be the biggest clown of all time
See me, I represent a time
When your word was all you had
'Cause you's a reflection of your mom and your dad
See me, I represent a time (I represent)
Where your heart was your position
You can speak the word of God, but will they listen? Hmm
I represent a time (A time)
When the **** we was following went to following us 'cause we done got it poppin'
[PostChorus]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Be careful what you place next to your flame, yeah
(Be careful what you place next to your flame)
'Cause a spark'll turn to ashes, what a shame
(What a shame, what a shame, what a shame) Oh-woah
All you got is your two hands and your name
Then it's showtime (Showtime)
Go 'head and take it up with the Most High (Yeah, uh)
Take it up
[Verse 2]
I represent a time, bystanders get killed if you innocent
But you can probably live if you vigilant
My **** are militant, some seem to think we equivalent
Proportionally lacking with benefits, you gotta be diligent
You popping to the streets like you killing it
But when you locked up, you illegit
What happened to Benjamin? **** went from trappin' to dwindlin'
The devil take your soul in increments
I gotta begin again or start from the ending like I intend to reverse
Don't wanna be nothing I been again, so I severed the version that I lived in the dirt
I cut the cord with the curse and let it bleed in the verse
I ain't lying
[Chorus]
I represent a time (Uh)
**** rather die than get caught lyin'
And be the biggest clown of all time
See me, I represent a time
When your word was all you had
'Cause you's a reflection of your mom and your dad
See me, I represent a time
Where your heart was your position
You can speak the word of God, but will they listen? Hmm
I represent a time
When the **** we was following went to following us 'cause we done got it poppin'
[PostChorus]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Be careful what you place next to your flame, yeah
(Be careful what you place next to your flame)
'Cause a spark'll turn to ashes, what a shame
(What a shame, what a shame, what a shame) Oh-woah
All you got is your two hands and your name
Then it's showtime (Showtime)
Go 'head and take it up with the Most High
Take it up
[Outro]
The reason why kids don't wanna be king is 'cause you let 'em kill the last one
