It's About Time – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Ayy, they say I'm soon to blow, well, it's about time

Paper, I'm about mine, and when it comes to drought time

Still find me up on cloud nine 'cause I ain't never seen a drought

I'm busy giving dinners out

You ask about Buggy, B, they'll tell you that I've been about

I've always been efficient with it, never been into gimmicks

Copped a four-four last year, got a whistle with it

Rap it and I really live it

If it wasn't me personally then my hittas did it

I was up north when shit went down south

Runner got caught on the M-way, now the brown's out

Time to do me proud now, but if he turns loudmouth

They'll observate the town now, it's operation down-out and under

Will he sell me out? Now I wonder

But where there's pain, there's always comfort

And if you make it through the rain, you can make it through the thunder

If you make it through the rain, you can make it through the thunder

Come on

I swear my life's full of mad action

Five figures, one day, off a transaction

School days, I never used to like fractions

Who knew one day it'd bring me my cash in?

That's quarter keys, half keys and whole ones

Rung the plug for his P's and he's like, "Hold on

It's only been a week, my G, have you been rolled on?"

I'm like "No, don, I've just got loads gone"

Feds just raided my trap, I'm like, "It can't be"

Now I've took a loss, I ain't got no time to party

And when I'm talking chaabis, I don't mean a car key

Unless it's a Maserati stamp on the Charlie

I just took a flight to see the plug and have a deep discussion

'Cause I don't trust Encro's and you can keep it rushing

Avoid repercussions, see who keeps it real and see who doesn't

Make it through the streets, just follow these instructions

Play smart, stay loyal and be aware

And if you've got a shot on your street, never see 'em there

And if your boy's ever stuck in beef, never leave him there

And if someone ever owes you P's you gotta keep 'em scared

'Cause nowadays people bite the hand that feeds them

The love is all pretend, they don't need a reason

You never really see friends when you're in the deep end

But if you ever do, make sure that you keep them

Have more than you show and speak less than you know

And if you're making good P, keep investing your dough

Pay attention to those that are spending the most

Surround yourself with people who are mentally grown

Don't follow these fools that wanna be cool

Don't borrow free tools that have only been used

I can put it on my life until the day I die

That you'll make it to the top if you follow these rules, come on

Come on
