4 Til I'm Gone (Prod. by Marjuice)

from Episode III: Illation by Billy Conahan

/

lyrics

(v1)
Packed myself another bowl
Purps in it, first hit, ready to rock n' roll
Pipe kicked but now we're ready to lock and load
So keep the mic lit, I'm getting into cypher mode

Skies the limit? Then the skies low
So turn your speakers up, i'm reaching for the cosmos
And stay sleeping, i'mma hit you with your eyes closed
Till they dilate, and now they wide awake

I lie in wait and stake out my opportunities
I might be new to rap, but the rap ain't new to me
Yup, word is bond I'll be on till the dawn
And beyond, from the cradle to the grave, hope you save me a toke…and you smoke till i'm gone

(Chorus)
FROM the EAST to the WEST… ("Smoke till I'm gone…" - Snoop Dogg)
FROM the NORTH to the SOUTH...
IF YOU KNOW WHAT I'M ABOUT...

(v2)
Now learning how to operate could send you to a higher place
Go ahead, take the lead, get to driving straight
See if I die today, heaven is a mile away
Though I only pray when I Thank God It's Friday

I'm a creek that never runs dry
It'd be wise to watch your mouth before you get your tongue tied
Twisting knots into a landscape
No I won't dim it down like a lampshade

I'm sand-paper to most, an hour later I'm ghost
And I don't care if the band's played
You know there ain't no grave that could hold my body down
I ride around, my side of town, you bring a dub, I'll buy a round

There's plenty of dust to kick up, plenty of us to settle
I never met a four because I heard the one was special
You're better off with the Devil now your kettle is black
Peep the first verse you should know I ain't new to rap, now who is that, it's Mister...

(Chorus)

(v3)
This is no hallucination, nor illusion I'm creating
Ability to communicate a set with no location
That's time and space, the confines which you placed in
The matrix, because outside we are dangerous

I'm taking off once my feet hit the pavement
Wake up every morning, storm forming in our basement
Love it or hate it, you either play or get played it's
Either you place or replace you, sedate you and have you wasted

These serpents lay in a snake pit it's safe to say once you make it
They'll be looking to take it, so face it, no stage is safe yet
I'm so close to the light, I can taste it
Like I was once an angel but my memory erased it

My clientele still wish to remain nameless
Still changing the game, the game watches me change it
I shape shift, daydreaming during my day shift
Cause they don't know that I might blow so I don't really say shit, woah, so I'mma SMOKE

(Chorus)
