Lyrics

Intro: B Rob, you ready for this
Response: Ain't no time like the present homie. I've been waiting long enough; it's my time to shine. Yeah.

My quest, not forgotten, 10 years of plotting
primed to make an entrance long lost begotten
Been the son of hip-hot since the day I was born
conceived through evolution, just call me the one
This must be a sickness, lost without a cure
been fiending for a mic, that's that's for sure
Waiting in the shadows, seen wack MCs blow,
hip-hop needs an advocate and that's for show (sure)
From both coasts I'm flexing, bound to make scene
categorically speaking I'm somwhere between
Nice on the handle, smooth on the flow
you can bump this in your beamer or your chevy 64'
Doomed to be collossal, world-wide event
blood sweat and tears, cash flow's been spent
My time piece is ticking I won't be denied
no more standing in the cold cause I'm busting inside

Chorus
It's my time to shine, my time to glisten
cause I waited too long to spit rhymes and then christen it
Ain't no debating cause the time is now
I've been waiting long enough so now I'm putting it down
Don't take me for granted, I've been waiting too long
my name stays effervescent till the day that I'm gone
From east coast to west down south and your vicinity
Mid-west to north, raise up if you feeling me

Hip-hop is being gaffled, jacked at the door
used to be about rhyming but not anymore
Time for a prescription where the focus is skill
new treatment new physician and I've got the pill
No hanging out flossing, that's not my deal
or spending 25,000 on a platinum grill
My mind stays on the money and that's a fact
but this is all about hip-hop and bringing it back
Step up your level bring on the game
I'm gonna say it one time, you best know my name
B Rob is at the pinnacle tough on the grind
homies try to catch a stroke but I'm on the back nine
All the wannabe rappers come and they go
riding over hot beats but can't find a flow
Put together broken sentences and call it a line
Cuz, I got this, pay attention, I'll show you a rhyme

Chorus

Can't knock the hustle or hate the game
doesn't matter where I'm from cause I bring the pain
Lost in transmission, you miss what I spoke
press rewind and visualize what I just wrote
No more a spectator, I'm on the stage
better bring your battle rattle, cause its a steel cage
Don't think that I'm soft and this is a sport
cause I'm not from LA or the streets of New York
I'm locked in position studio and mic
armed and ready and won't go down without a fight
I blessed this procession then spoke my peace
captivated and elated with the rhymes I released
Long-live the kingpin, hip-hop's domain
rebirth of the basics, that built the game
I'm right here in front of you ain't hard to find
B Rob to infinity, my time to shine baby

Chorus
