Never Left - Illa J, Potatohead People

It’s like you never left

You with me up in the booth

I see your silhouette when I start thinking bout you

And I will never let somebody taint your truth

Cause tainted love is all around and the shit ain’t cool

When I’m reppin' my bro, I’m reppin' my blood

So before I rock a show or even step in the club

It’s Yancey Boys for life, man I don’t give a fuck

About the biz, but it is, what it is, nigga

Niggas tryna pay bills for they kids, make mills

Roll around on big wheels with they bitch

So they use big DILL when they need a big deal

But when ILLA spits real they get pissed

But I’ll raise my flag in whole nother arena

Startin at 00, call me Arenas

Triple threat, infinite creator when is that

Gonna end?

never, funny question how clever

I’m a young loud rebel from the Mecca

Beast inside inner lyrical reflector

From the east side of Detroit nigga check up

Always on the grind cause I gotta get my check up

Yeah I’m always on the grind cause the money on the mind

We forget about the cause cause we want that effecta

I’m always on time, on task on a mission

While I listen to my big bro chillin' reminscin'

It’s like you never left

You with me up in the booth

I see your silhouette when I start thinking bout you

And I will never let somebody taint your truth

Cause tainted love is all around and the shit ain’t cool

When I’m reppin' my bro, I’m reppin' my blood

So before I spit a flow before the record is cut

It’S Yancey Boys for life, man I don’t give a fuck

About the biz, but it is, what it is, nigga

People say they your friends but come with hidden agendas

Don’t give a fuck about me just wanna rap on some Dilla

Coming up to me like I heard Dilla yo brother

I went to the tribute, I took a pic with yo mother

And it means a lot to me but a few of you don’t mean it honestly

Y’all just thinking bout um, profiting ah

My brother’s legacy is like the ring

Niggas get close to it, ego start building up

Taste a little success, environment is changing up, forget about the cause

Forget about that genius that’s banging in your cars

That takes your vibration up, up up into the stars

Forget about the soul that he put into his music

Forget about the gold that he put into his music

Forget about that Rov, every day I see you passing by

Cruising down the road

It’s like you never left

You with me up in the booth

I see your silhouette when I start thinking bout you

And I will never let somebody taint your truth

Cause tainted love is all around and the shit ain’t cool
