Prime Tyme lyrics
by Shy Glizzy
[Intro]
You know what time it is
Primetime
And that's all the time
(Matt, what up?)
You hear me?
(Run that back, Turbo)
[Chorus]
I done seen too many mamas cry (Mamas cry)
That's why I gotta get it, I don't want that to be mine (To be mine)
You say he ain't gettin' no money, you's a lie (You's a lie)
He made it out that jungle, he's a lion (He's a lion)
It seem like all the real n*ggas be dyin' (Dyin')
The only time I seen a real n*gga cryin' (Cryin')
Yeah, and she ask me, "What's the time?"
I looked down at my bustdown, I told her, "It's primetime"
[Verse 1]
Lately, I ain't been understanding life, I just know that I'm blessed
I just left Miami, took a rest while on the jet
I had to bury my OG, I'm gon' miss that man to death
Last of a dyin' breed, ain't many real n*ggas left
I never ever thought that you would leave me this way
Damn, it hurt my heart I had to see you this way
Now who gon' give me that word you used to give me every day?
The streets don't love nobody, but they love Young Jefe, oh
Hit the mall, f*ck your b*tch, get 'em off (Get 'em off)
Hit the mall, f*ck your b*tch, get 'em off (Get 'em off)
I done seen so many stand-up n*ggas take a fall
I promise we gon' ball for my motherf*ckin' dogs, oh
[Chorus]
I done seen too many mamas cry (Mamas cry)
That's why I gotta get it, I don't want that to be mine (To be mine)
You say he ain't gettin' no money, you's a lie (You's a lie)
He made it out that jungle, he's a lion (He's a lion)
It seem like all the real n*ggas be dyin' (Dyin')
The only time I seen a real n*gga cryin' (Cryin')
Yeah, and she ask me, "What's the time?"
I looked down at my bustdown, I told her, "It's primetime"
[Verse 2]
I just closed that casket on my dog
Very tragic, swear that sh*t, it broke my heart
I know, I know they say don't question God
But why you separate them kids from they pops?
I never thought it would be you, no, not my thug, yeah
You went loose every time it's bloodshed
I know a couple dudes, they lost they plug, yeah
One time for your boo, she lost her husband
All for the love of the money
How the f*ck you ain't livin' on a Sunday?
I know that I will see you again some day
A lot of rainy days, can't wait 'til it get sunny
[Chorus]
I done seen too many mamas cry (Mamas cry)
That's why I gotta get it, I don't want that to be mine (To be mine)
You say he ain't gettin' no money, you's a lie (You's a lie)
He made it out that jungle, he's a lion (He's a lion)
It seem like all the real n*ggas be dyin' (Dyin')
The only time I seen a real n*gga cryin' (Cryin')
Yeah, and she ask me, "What's the time?"
I looked down at my bustdown, I told her, "It's primetime"
[Outro]
Last of a dying breed
I done seen too many mamas cry (Mamas cry)
That's why I gotta get it, I don't want that to be mine (To be mine)
You say he ain't gettin' no money, you's a lie (You's a lie)
He made it out that jungle, he's a lion (He's a lion)
It seem like all the real n*ggas be dyin' (Dyin')
The only time I seen a real n*gga cryin' (Cryin')
Yeah, and she ask me, "What's the time?"
I looked down at my bustdown, I told her, "It's primetime"
