It's Over Now
Automator & Kool Keith Lyrics

Yeah man, just left town man
I have recently left town and am here.

I'm here, here
I am currently present in the place I am speaking from.

Had to get outta town baby
I needed to leave the town due to certain situations or events.

Where you standin' at?
Can you tell me your current location?

You can pick me up at the round busstation
To meet me, you can come to the bus station with the circular design.

Or I can take a plane
I also have the option to travel by plane instead of being picked up.

Give me a sek and I'll tell you how it went down
Wait for a moment and I will explain what happened.

I stayed in New York, depressed, walkin' mad through the block
I was in New York, feeling down and walking with anger through the area.

Watching brothers go down, my project friends smoking rock
I saw my neighborhood friends struggling and losing the battle to drug addiction.

My group divided and everthing was undecided
My music group broke apart and nothing was certain.

I was drinking, thinking: "Damn and my boat is sinking"
I turned to drinking and realized that my career was failing.

Everybody's wack can new groups comin' back
Everyone in the industry is unimpressive, yet new groups continue to emerge.

They on Arsenio, ???? on video
Other musicians have become popular and are appearing on popular late-night talk shows and music videos.

Watch this clownrhyme that's payed for a primetime
Observed a rapper who has been hired to perform on television but lacks any genuine talent.

Everybody's mean, they're hard, they're killing mothers
All musicians seem to have adopted a tough persona and promote violent behavior.

Shootin' bang bang fake man killing brothers
These violent actions in music are not genuine and only serve to cause harm.

I had to turn off the radio from all the war???
I grew tired of the warlike and violent themes in music played on the radio and turned it off.

Mickey Mouse and friends all talking pop and lippy
Radio and television are littered with superficial and cheesy content.

Girls excited for what? And old ?facturated?
Females are overly excited, but over what? And is their excitement genuine?

People got their brain washed and folks got manipulated
The media has brainwashed and controlled many people's thoughts and actions.

They start believing Donald Duck made the earth
People have become so lost in the fantasy world created by the media that they have started to believe absurd things.

The industry was cursed since the Dinosaur's birth
The music industry has been plagued with issues since its inception.

No problems in this world
Everything is peaceful and without issues.

I'm home chillin' with my girl
I am at home relaxing with my significant other.

My mom was in a twirl
My mother was feeling anxious or confused.

Flying nighttime, eating peanuts on the plane
I am on a plane at night and snacking on peanuts.

With no moneycontrol, my stress builds on my brain
I have no control over my finances and this is causing me stress.

My ticket's oneway
I have a one-way ticket and no plans to return.

I'm out to southern Caliway
I am traveling to Southern California.

I left behind some people that wasn't even equal
I abandoned some individuals who were not on the same level as me.

I thought back with chicks and freaks in 86'
I reminisced about my experiences with women in the year 1986.

When Marlie was in in control +the funky magic mix+
During the time when Marley Marl was a prominent figure and created magic with his music mixes.

I had the limousine on hold with the real chauffeur
I was able to afford a limousine and my own personal driver.

Ripped the ???? up with Ultra and I felt like Oprah
I was successful and abundant, feeling like Oprah Winfrey.

Girls in flocks and fans in lines from blocks
Many girls were flocking to me and fans would wait in long lines just to see me.

I didn't even hear a ?paperview? rappin' mister
I did not have to pay-per-view to watch a fellow rapper perform.

I was your idol and probably on your older sister
I was many people's idol and likely to be a favorite among their older sisters.

Now you bad you signed stupid with a recorddeal
Now you are successful but have signed a ridiculous and unfavorable record deal.

Your image is butt you perpertrating Shootin' Steel
Your image is fake and you continue to promote violence.

Holdin' guns on albumcovers just to make funds
You resort to holding guns on album covers just to make money.

You the man quick fast payed out the ?anoass?
You have become successful quickly but have paid a high price for it.

You can see I'm back and clear on stereo
I have returned and my voice sounds clear on the radio.

with my own style, my intimite material
I have created a unique style with intimate lyrics and content.

Think about what you did
Reflect on your actions and decisions.

Used to dance, used to wear suits
I used to dance and wear formal clothing.

Then you came back to wearing hip-hop clothes
I returned to wearing clothes that reflect the hip-hop style and culture.

Then you went back to wearing suits
I then went back to wearing formal attire.

No accounted, my lawyer keepin' checks on the low
I am not keeping accurate records, but my lawyer is keeping track of expenses discreetly.

Money, expenses for trips I didn't know
I am spending money on trips without my knowledge or consent.

Agencies finding shows I couldn't get myself
Agencies are securing shows for me that I am not capable of obtaining on my own.

Writing rhymes at night in the house by myself
I am writing music lyrics at home alone, late at night.

I open mailboxes, all I see was more bills
I check my mailbox and only receive more bills to pay.

Gettin' cold chicken, walkin' down Ryan's hills
I am settling for cold chicken and walking down streets in the Ryan's hills neighborhood with little financial means to afford anything else.

Askin' moms for 50 cent, just to pay my rent
I resort to asking my mother for 50 cents just to pay my rent.

I had no will to ill, my mind was out to kill
I have lost the drive and motivation to make music and my thoughts are consumed with negative emotions.

I called up Kurt, got a ??? signed with Capitol
I contacted Kurt and secured a deal with Capitol Records.

Money's flowin' now wild suckas out blowin' up
Money is now coming in abundantly and other individuals who do not deserve success are gaining fame.

They my pupic care, and pupils still growin' up
I have many young fans who look up to me and continue to grow in their admiration for me.

Sucking mean while the g'ism as it hits the rhythm
While I am achieving success, there is still negativity and criticism present in the industry.

They want that new style, no money it's called freestyle
Many people in the industry are looking for a fresh, new style but are unwilling to pay for it and expect freestyle delivery.

Taping of the radio, smokin' from a crackvowel
I am recording music from the radio and smoking crack while doing so.

They on my tip now, as always as usual
People are once again showing their admiration and respect for me, as usual.

You forgot me, but I didn't forget you
You may have forgotten about me, but I still remember you and your actions.
