Suspended in Time

[Verse 1: Lil Dap]

Son started in Brooklyn and you all know that

I call you son for a reason

That means nothing can come between us

When we walk this beat, lyrics do get deep

Because we're born to die, shed tears and cry

Mom dukes passed away when you was locked up, son

They had you, suspended in time, so I kick rhymes

Niggas livin' off your fears and ideas to get paid

Brothas maintain your balance and protect your wealth

And these punk style niggas screamin' out for help

And there's nothin' in the world better than life itself

[Verse 2: Melachi]

Young fools break rules, mic tools got me open

I'm smokin', leavin' all the punk rappers broken

No jokin', hoping for the best

East to west, I'm like a killer, puttin' rappers in their rest

'Cause there's no tricks, when I let off clips

I leave bodies in ditches, play bitch niggas like bitches

Nutcracker doin' hits by the dozen

When I make moves, I ride the train with my cousin

Nowhere near simple

My mental, flex more complex than Mozart's instrumental

From my temple, comes a bad sign

And if you're doin' that, you're suspended in time

[Hook: DJ Premier scratches]

Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk

The crew bringin' the ruckus no doubt

Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk

The crew bringin' the ruckus no doubt

Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk

The crew bringin' the ruckus no doubt

Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk

The crew bringin' the ruckus no doubt

[Verse 3: Lil Dap]

Yo son, I think about my soul, 'cause your shell is just a frame

Only used for money, hustlin', and playin the game

I want my chance to live long, what, like Marvin Gaye

I may be dead and gone, but my word will be born

This is for my niggas and chicks who live in the ghetto

We'll walk the...streets of gold, diamond, pearls, and girls

And there's nothin' better than this, 'cause we're in the new world

Seeing people everywhere that I thought I saw before

Check it out, party people, as we reign supreme

Yo, the Group Home manifest and got mad love for the team

[Verse 4: Melachi]

I know that it's tough comin' up in the streets

You will be strong because you can't be weak

You gotta put your mind on achieve mode

Go for your goals, boom boom, explode

Everybody's in the way, but they can't hold you back

That's how it is and we do it like that

Yeah...so...show 'em what you got

No time for fakin' moves, the time is wastin' on the clock

You know how I rock, I rock non-stop

Hop on stage, you jump on my jock

Here's a dope rhyme, one time for your mind

If you're deaf, dumb, and blind, you're suspended in time

[Hook: DJ Premier scratches]

Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk

The crew bringin' the ruckus no doubt

Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk

The crew bringin' the ruckus no doubt

Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk

The crew bringin' the ruckus no doubt

Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk

The crew bringin' the ruckus no doubt

Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk

Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk

Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk

Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk (Repeat 4X)

[Outro Interlude: Jeru The Damaja]

Aiyyo, Mal... Dap...

That shit I was telling you about... is mad real

You know 'Ru, I ain't gonna lie to you

I'll let you come to my rest and peep the manuscripts

But in the meantime, remember:

Be just in all your dealings

Pay attention, and be alert

Treat others with the same respect that you yourself are entitled to

Be careful that no man deceive you, for they will try and deceive you

Soon, you won't be able to say anything at all

So when you have the voice to say something – say something

'Cause this is for the seeds

It's all for the seeds

Remember – the seeds is what grow into the flowers

The flowers is what give us oxygen

So, shine light and water the seeds

This is just a few thoughts for your mind
