Time Capsule
King Lil G Lyrics

Aye
Introduction to the song

I know you don't smoke weed
I'm aware that you don't use drugs

I know that
I'm just letting you know

But Imma get you high today
But today, I want you to experience something new

I just want to go and do my thing
I want to pursue my goals and dreams

I suggest you go and do the same
I advise you to pursue your own passions and ambitions

Understand my ambition was different
I had unique goals and aspirations

I love my woman cuz my woman was different
I appreciated my partner's unique qualities

I'm optimistic, never losing my hope
I always maintain a positive outlook on life

That's how I'm faithful in a room full of hoes
This is why I am able to stay loyal despite temptation

Too many bitches
There are too many distractions and temptations around me

That's another distraction
These distractions keep me from achieving my goals

Maybe it's trouble that find me attractive
Perhaps my lifestyle and reputation attract negative attention

I don't know what the fuck happened
I'm unsure of how things ended up this way

I'm talking about way before rap, way before rap
I'm referring to my life before my music career

I didn't have a car, homies picked me up
I didn't have my own transportation and relied on friends for rides

[?] swapped me then somebody hit me up
Unclear meaning due to unclear lyrics

I need a burner yo, can you get me one
I needed a gun for protection and asked for help obtaining one

That's when I seen big booty Cynthia
I saw a woman named Cynthia who caught my attention

I had a bloody nose and maybe some blood on my shirt
I may have been involved in a physical altercation

Repercussions from avoiding the obvious
The consequences of ignoring warning signs

Maybe that's what I deserved (Oh man)
Perhaps I brought these consequences upon myself

Would you figure trigger fingers itching have some
Unknown meaning due to unclear lyrics

Gangsta brothers who I never mentioned (yeah)
I have friends who are also involved in a criminal lifestyle

Gangsta brothers who I never mentioned (yeah)
Reiteration of previous line

How we gone get this money?
How will we make money?

When you got no job
When you don't have employment

And you stuck in the hood
And you're unable to move out of the poor neighborhood

And you can't go far
When your options are limited

Close your eyes and tell me what you see
Imagine a different life and tell me what it looks like

God if I could only show you what it's like to be a G
I wish I could provide insight into my lifestyle as a gangsta

I know you heard of my latest shit
I know you're aware of my recent music releases

Back at it with some gangsta shit
I am returning to my roots in gangsta rap

Classic vibes I talk greatest hits
I am bringing back the classic sound of my earlier music

Yeah that's me with some raider shit
I affiliate with the Oakland Raiders football team

Back when I wished I had amazing whips
In the past, I wanted expensive cars

I had amazing plugs
I had connections to sources of drugs

That could have made me rich
I had the opportunity to make a lot of money selling drugs

Talked in code and different languages
I communicated about drug deals in secret languages and codes

I was way too fly with my gangsta bitch
I was very fashionable and stylish with my partner

One white girl, one Asian bitch
I have had relationships with women of different ethnicities

I'm like bring your best friend I wanna blaze it with
I invited both women to smoke marijuana with me

No role models just the gangsta click
I did not have positive role models, just my fellow gangsta friends

Blue bandana like a gangsta crip
I wear a blue bandana, a symbol of the Crips gang

I went to Compton got Dayton rims
I went to the city of Compton to buy custom rims for my car

One year later I was weighing bricks
One year later, I was involved in selling large quantities of drugs

One year later on the vegas strip
One year later, I was in Las Vegas

Two months later, cops raided quick, man
Two months later, the police arrested me in a swift and sudden manner

How we gone get this money?
