I Lived In a Time
Abstract Rude

Staring at the truth can be like staring at the sunlight. You get blinded

[Abstract Rude:]

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

'cuz they say you better off and

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

'Cuz 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

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 motha' fuckin' 9

And X Clan

I lived in a time of Kool Moe

I lived in a time of Native Tongues

And Hiero

And who could forget the Wu though

And who rep the west?

My crew Project Blowed

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 Dis Funky Joint

'cuz 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

'cuz to you only cash rules

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 motha' fuckin' 9

And X Clan

I lived in a time of Kool Moe

I lived in a time of Native Tongues

And Hiero

And who could forget the Wu though

And who rep the west?

My crew Project Blowed
