Illa J
Never Left
(x2)
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, n***a
N***as 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 n***a 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, n***a
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
N***as 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
