Too Late (Explicit) - Reflection Eternal/RES

Written by：Tony Cottrell|Talib Kweli Greene

Yo when the bass thump the place jump

Like it's way crank yeah

Fake punks get they face lumped

Sent to the most high by the most fit

You gotta do f**k that almost sh*t

The fame is close knit

You diggin' know the clock don't stop tickin'

Glocks still spittin' the whole block politickin'

Like presidents with they minds dead on arrival

Leaving no evidence of a struggle for survival

Songs relevant to the times like the psalms read in the bible

Stepping to this leaves thoughts in your head it's suicidal

It's the t to the alib the deep rooter

Rolling with my wanna battle cats who chief Buddha

And see through the overspecialized under pressurized

No lie texturized emcees who got the masses mesmerized

With empty rhetoric they better quit

Niggas so hollow that they echo like sentiments

Nowadays rap artists coming half heated

Commercial like pop or underground like black markets

Where were you the day hip hop died

Is it too early to mourn is it too late to ride

Is it too early to mourn is it too late to ride

Is it too early to mourn is it too late to ride

Is it too early to mourn is it too late to ride

Is it too early to mourn is it too late to ride

Kwa is chillin' tone is chillin'

What more can I say we stay building

And make killings

Take children through the wilderness by the hand

It's a great feeling show 'em how to be a man

Exactly pack trees in my khakis

My sound fat like a nerve while you thin like a mackie

C'mon shine so bright when I walk by

You got ta squint like the motherf**king sun in your eye

What say something you stay fronting

It ain't nothing let off like I'm big game hunting

Me and teak stay way blunted

Wave running on beaches with white sand

With a slight tan

Smack the mic stand with my right hand

When I'm excited

Leave you so far in the dust that you forced to bite it

On fire like property lost to riots

Yo ain't no stopping us when we all united

Nowadays rap artists coming half heated

Commercial like pop or underground like black markets

Where were you the day hip hop died

Is it too early to mourn is it too late to ride

Is it too early to mourn is it too late to ride

Is it too early to mourn is it too late to ride

Is it too early to mourn is it too late to ride

Is it too early to mourn is it too late to ride

Is it too early to mourn is it too late to ride

Is it too early to mourn is it too late to ride

Is it too early to mourn is it too late to ride

Is it too early to mourn is it too late to ride

Is it too early to mourn is it too late to ride

Is it too early to mourn is it too late to ride

Is it too early to mourn is it too late to ride

Is it too early to mourn

Is it too late too late

Is it too late too late

Is it too late too late

Is it too late too late

Is it too late too late

Is it too late too late

Is it too late too late

Is it too late too late
