What time is it
This is one of those, a1-yola raps
Stick in ya mind, stick in ya mind,
Stick in ya mind
When you up all night
You see things you shouldn't have saw
'Cause the night gets raw
Drama is thicker than skippys peanut butter
Imagine 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
And I blend with the night
They call me greedy
Plead my sins to get a gurl a beaty
It's andre nickatina
I'm like a genie in a beanie
Amarato 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
I'ma fill it to the rim
Me and money go together like a feather in a brim
I'm a magician
Some say my themes are lame but I ain't trippin'
A gurl be yellin, I fix a drink but I don't listen
Crooked crow
Playas seem to like my style
Why's that killa whale?
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
(What are ya baby)
I'm a raider
Camouflaged in silver and the black
Tryin' to blitz through the line for a quarter back sack
Of the money
I dress like it's cold, not sunny
But slyer than an urgent 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 tigga's name with the macintosh computer brain mind
Or should I say mine
Sometimes I gotta lie to protect my crime
I 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
Bout season
Different then they best
But those be the ones that don't have to rest
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
I set a trap
I have to spin a web like a spider
Don't strike matches, hate child proof lighters
Stay awake
Quick as I pick up the pace
First I see a gurl's butt, then I look at her face
I can't explain
I'm eatin' garlic bread with the steak
We killin wit ourselves cold blooded narc
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 gold
Call it federal, I'm a general
But yet at times I blaze with my lieutenant
Popeye, no more with the blunts(?), 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
Hoo
I stay awake like an owl, hoo, hoo
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
I stay awake like an owl, hoo
I stay awake like an owl, hoo, hoo
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!
