[Intro]
Abstract; shoutout to the A-Team
On My Own Time, here we go

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I hate that shit on [militant?]
Killin' it with every word
Funny, at the same time I'm the kid you never heard before
Yeah, they talkin' beef, but in real life they act a herbivore
Walk in and they hit the floor, what you rappers nervous for?
Rappin' when I make 'em shake, drown 'em in the flow-movin' lakes
I'm the Madden featherweight
On the track, I'm heavyweight
Tracks is droppin' steady, man
I don't make my people wait
Always fly, I never take
Try to stay above the hate
Y'all know it's my time, so how can I ever be late?
Y'all know it's my rhymes, so why you eatin' off my plate?
If you ain't here for orders, why you comin' for dessert?
At least come and address me before you go and take a seat
Before you take a seat, ask the cook for cutlery, please
Now ask me if it's okay to indulge in this great feast
Um, you weren't here when we were cookin' heat
So nah, you don't get to eat
[Chorus]
Yeah, live like it's the last day
And when you dream, dream like it's the only way
And when you listen, don't listen to what the people say
And when you make it, make 'em mad you did it your way
Yeah, live like it's the last day
And when you dream, dream like it's the only way
And when you listen, don't listen to what the people say
And when you make it, make 'em mad you did it your way

[Verse 2]
Yeah, for those who slept on me
Welcome back from all your dreams
Just saw my future in your dreams, now you actually on the team
We still doin' the same thing, but now it's comin' with the green
If you reppin' what I mean, it's like my caskets, all supreme
Kill beats and leave 'em dirty; haha, son, no need
We too fresh to do that, erase the steps like it's carpet clean
Like, "Yo, how'd you rip that flow?"
I don't know—just kidding, that don't mean I'm down to tell you that
Shh, guys, we gotta keep my ways a secret
"All you do is write shit down, then you read it"
Man, you can say that, but it really ain't that easy
They ain't heard of Abstract, but they know they need me
Eatin' up these tracks, yellin', "Feed me, feed me"
Message to the throne: Yeezy, do you read me?
Put the crown down, 'cause the next-up 'bout to be me
Yeah, 'cause the next-up 'bout to be me
[Chorus]
Yeah, live like it's the last day
And when you dream, dream like it's the only way
And when you listen, don't listen to what the people say
And when you make it, make 'em mad you did it your way
Yeah, live like it's the last day
And when you dream, dream like it's the only way
And when you listen, don't listen to what the people say
And when you make it, make 'em mad you did it your way
