What time is it!
This is one of those, A1-Yola raps
Stick in ya mind, stick in ya mind, stick in ya mind
[Verse 1]
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...
[Chorus]:
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!
[Verse 2]
(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...
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
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...
[Chorus] x2
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!
