"It's About Time"

Del the MC with the Midas touch
He's the nicest causin crisis with a clutch
On the microphone hook up the beat and thus
I'm appearing with the lyrics that make your brain bust
Thrust through the crust of the earth underground plus
The track is so funky ain't no need to discuss
Trust me, leave it to the technician
Of texts and parralax towards the next expedition
Industry, only two ways out death or prison
Hi tech with my vision, it's called focus
Approximately so my and my crew won't be lost in the sea
Of crap that we live in is costing me, loss of sleep
But I endure with rhymes so pure
It's a law for MCs who bite they're premature
I see a sickening hip-hop and del will be the cure
But the bickering non-stop it's either or
Talking about a glass ceiling but you can't see the floor
Talking about our music but you can't read the score
We the lords of lyrics, rhymes hundred fold
Having fun with soul ain't guaranteed to run the show
You know rock the house blow up your bungalo
Wonderful, matter of fact, underground peep the undertow
Drag you down deeper than anyone would go
Radioactive bite this and your tongue will glow
My antonyms will shatter rims and blood will splatter ribs
More adjectives and popularity like cabbage kids
Hip hops our life our lyrics not average

Hey feel me
Talking trash about women is dead in general
It occurs when a fool's thought train is minimal
Forget being a criminal I'm trying to reach the pinacle
Box of [?] 200 years from now legends
Encased in glass rhymes created by my brethren
'Cause we all know hiero got the bump that leave 'em beggin
It's heaven on earth 'cause music soothes the savage
I'm past those dreams of trying to live super lavish
It's longevity a lot of rappers don't have this
Add this to your list of bliss you can't miss
A one time offer and it's all from the abyss
When a fault festers at all it sell like this
Del's intense intelligent repelant
For MCs on tape who wanna brag about their felons
Or their murderous villians well then why the hell you tell it
The youth is in chaos, continual they lost
The opportunity to grow what they learned is way off
It's be down fool, or be a punk and stay soft
Like the hair spray there's a dare quadruple dare
No scruples here, I'm just claimin neutral here
'Cause I remember when black folks used to care
But enough of that you know what's up with that I run 'em up with tracks
Why you still corrupt the facts, I distrust the whack
Creativity's the dough, but I see that you ain't up to that

It's about time, we exercise your mind
You may be surprised, at what you will find
I don't know about y'all, but it's about time

It's about time, we exercise your mind
You may be surprised, at what you will find
I don't know about y'all, but it's about time
It's about time, we exercise your mind
You may be surprised, at what you will find
I don't know about y'all, but it's about time
It's about time, we exercise your mind
You may be surprised, at what you will find
I don't know about y'all, but it's about time
It's about time, we exercise your mind
You may be surprised, at what you will find
I don't know about y'all, but it's about time
It's about time, we exercise your mind
You may be surprised, at what you will find
I don't know about y'all, but it's about time
