Abstract Rude - I Lived In A Time Lyrics

[Intro]
Staring at the truth can be like staring at the sunlight
You get blinded

[Verse 1]
Feel an eclipse, that energy shifts
The wind is so brisk it'll push a man over the cliff
Beginning with this, the word that was born with the fist
Absorbing the lands and flesh torn with the death wish
We ain't gotta get violent to communicate
We ain't gotta see eye to eye to mobilize and motivate
Death before dishonor, envy or betrayal
Never gon' be stronger than we were the day that we were all together
Spike the nail in the coffin 'cause they say you better off when
On the other side when you ain't got no problems
I ain't sayin' heavens gate is callin', it don't take death to dodge 'em
'Cause you're alive, you may as well think of a better option
Let's get you rounded with a spiritual base
So you can look in the mirror and be proud of your face
A real image don't know how to be fake
Make it by any means or behind the scenes view of the outtakes

[Chorus]
I lived in a time of raising hell
I lived in a time of LL at Def Jam
I lived in a time of champions of rhyme
Like Myka-mothafuckin'-9and X-Clan
I lived in a time of Kool Moe
I lived in a time of Native Tonguesand Hiero
And who could forget the Wu though
And who rep the west? My crew Project Blowed
[Verse 2]
A thousand nations, even our own, descend upon us
No man is prophet, not a single break or chink in armor
Our wounded and dead, got fox and vultures feedin' on 'em
Our movement is lead, protect the culture, keep it goin'
En garde, for every push when they come hard
It's shields up from the arrow barrage that builds up
From one bar to the next
For every bar you take a text, I got another thought to digest
I rock this funky joint'cause Funky Town's the livest
And you missin' the point, you digress I guess
But I got something going with my little KTF
My crew is right on the brink of being The Dark Knight Rises
A terror in the air, a bearer of bad news
Your era is in jeopardy so be scared of Ab Rude
Can't get me out your head, my nightmare has you
But you'll never be aware 'cause to you only cash rules

[Chorus]
I lived in a time of raising hell
I lived in a time of LL at Def Jam
I lived in a time of champions of rhyme
Like Myka-mothafuckin'-9and X-Clan
I lived in a time of Kool Moe
I lived in a time of Native Tonguesand Hiero
And who could forget the Wu though
And who rep the west? My crew Project Blowed
