Illumination Lyrics by Laws

5:01 Overtime

2010

[Laws]
I’m back like high top fades
I’m back like Jay every Summer
I’m backed up, someone call the plumber
Wait, too much shit out my mind
Movin' so much dope, feelin' like a drug runner
And the studio my trap house so I’m gunnin' for the rats now
I’m cleanin' the white rugs, I’m black tile
With the American Psycho kitchen, you feel me?
I’m on stainless steel everything
I want you to shine when you step in my spot homeboy
Aye yo Cannon, I take a little vacay since my last time
But I’m well rested and I’m ready for war, tell me when to go
See, I gained somethin' with the first go round
John Hancock script cursive style
I ain’t doin' this to be versatile
This is me, every word and vowel
What's regular to me is groundbreakin' to others
I signed a little contract, got a little butter
You rocked a few shows and you met a few cut-ups
I’m trying to meet Rosen and leavin' with a stud-up
Mr. Costa, meet the kid that nearly missed a foster home in South America
Thanks to some selfless acts, now he spits proper and eat shrimp and pasta
Hip-Hop's what you miss, I got ya
Here’s another free disc to rock to
These cats softer than Charmin
You thinkin' I’m Garmin right when the kid re-route ya
You want that good, good? Then stay the course
I'm about love, what you hatin' for?
Haters always find somethin' to hate
As long as my records find somethin' to break
Most personalities without a guest though
Most punchlines over techno
Most modern yet I’m still retro
Do I got this? I guess so
They say I’m in a position some'll kill for
But I was once one of the ones who killed for it
So up-and-comers understand that I feel the pain
Since I got some recognition, I don’t feel the same
Normally, I say the industry is still to blame
But I’m a part of it now and I’m still flames
And they still lame, they gotta realize I bubbled
In a distilled vein, using my still brain
I only want one thing and it’s still fame
I wanna picture it and live it in still frame
They got no heart so they don’t feel pain
But I bleed when I make a track
I ride with my mic and my naked back
You took my art form, I'mma take it back
No hate, just gotta terminate that ass
See, I came from the future to change the past
And I’m here so get used to it
