Timeless
O.B.I. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On my Champagne Papi shit, My God body shit
I'm taking my vitamins
I got that glow, name a nigga that's hot as this
I'm coming for blood, I think I'm a phlebotomist
As I'm puffin on my cigar and I drink my liquor
I fear my sons will look at me like just another nigga
I feel I'm failing as a father and they shaming me
Because I chose a better life man this pain is deep
I moved away because the fighting wasn't stopping there
I could've stayed and beat yo ass some more and went to jail
But I ain't stupid I got to troop it I'm chunking deuces
Wanted to block me couldn't stop me u on some new shit
Got ya family all up in the business making statements
They only hearing one side but fuck it I can take it
When I had to get my sons I always kept the ratchet
Just in case one of u bucked I was gon let u have it
The world don't give a fuck what the type of shit that we be facing
Done turned our women into enemies this shit is crazy
They teach our girls from young they gotta use the system
Juvenile & domestic court is a fuckin business
Cashing out on our pain to make these crackers richer
But u too blinded by the light to even get the picture
Now I ain't saying if he ain't doing don't get ya paper
But understand that these racists fuckers are out to rape us
And in the midst of it all I'm out here chasing music
But making 13 an hour ain't near enough to boost it
I see u niggas is doubting I'm like you fuckin stupid
I got the science and mathematics no Isaac Newton
Overlooked cuz my heart too big
But you niggas gon learn when I up this sig
Saying Biz ain't that and Biz ain't this
But he was all silent when I fucked his bitch
And I ain't even on that type of time wit it
Got the wheel and gotdammit I'm a drive wit it
I got these wings and gotdammit I'm a fly wit it
I made the bed and gotdammit I'm a lie in it
Once I'm done bitch I'm done it's wrap on em
Ask my exes if I ever doubled back on em
Yeah I love but it's fuck em I ain't lax on em
They ain't never cross the border with them packs on em
My last one said I ain't respect her glow up
Relationships are more than looks baby grow up
You look good or whatever but you know what
Surface great but the inner workings tore up
My one before that ain't deserve the heartbreak that I gave her
I just hope that she happy and that God give her favor
Even tho we went thru ours your people ain't waiver
Cuz Your family like my family it's love and it's major
I just sit in my apartment and look at the city
And reflect on my life man the shit wasn't pretty
I lived mine million times I wish I was kidding
I been thru hell for a kid in his twenties
I just sit in my apartment and look at the city
And reflect on my life man the shit wasn't pretty
I lived mine million times I wish I was kidding
I been thru hell for a kid in his twenties
And now I turned 30 this year
Wondering if I'm delusional or my dream will appear
All the shit I sacrificed for my music career
Heartbreak back 2 back but I ain't shedding a tear
I gotta be on fire I been thru the flames
And if u ever try me I'm gon let it bang




This a different Bizzy I been thru the change
Don't ever question if I do this music thing
