Too Late Lyrics by Brand Nubian

Too Late Lyrics

    Intro/Chorus: Shelene

    Too late, too late baby, bye-bye
    I'll be there tonight
    You'll get left behind
    Now's my time to shine

    Verse One: Grand Puba

    Now I got the best birthday present when my ass born
    It was my mama, old dad plant the seed like a farmer
    Life was kind of hard livin in hell's backyard
    Didin't have a job, honey fronted on the GOD
    Shorty racing, only hollering at cats who be lacin
    She had some shit with her, she was caught up in the glitter
    "Brother come see me when you get five digits bigger"
    Oh that's the way you tryin to doo-doo on a nigga
    She likes the lavish, no time for a brother livin average
    Play the knees for the cheese like a savage
    Now she lost and turned out, rotten teeth in her mouth
    cos she ran the wrong route
    Shorty 'member me, now I'm seven digits bigger
    Platinum artist status, mad cheese from Hilfiger
    Now ya feelin me because you're smoked out and high
    but too late baby, bye-bye

    Chorus

    Verse Two: Lord Jamar

    I wish you could have been there when I had my first fight
    The other kid said he was gonna get his father
    I didn't bother to respond cos I knew that you was gone
    Forced to carry on and teach myself right from wrong
    As far back as I can remember you was never around
    In September it was back to school
    The eldest member of my family so I packed the tool
    It made a nigga feel manly when I smacked a fool
    with it, could've schooled me on pussy before I hit it
    Or took me to a park with a ball and said "Hit it"
    But we was all left in the dark, accepting the parts
    of you we was able to get, affectin my heart
    Nowadays you expecting to start, anew
    when I lived my whole life apart from you
    Too late you better check the due date
    See there's no explanation for the expiration

    Chorus

    Bridge: Sherene

    It's too late, bye-bye
    Oh bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-byeeee, yeah
    It's too late, bye-bye, oh babe
    Bye-bye-bye-bye-byeeee-bye-bye
    Bye-bye-bye-bye-byeeeee

    Verse Three: Sadat X

    Niggas disrespect my crib droppin ashes on the floor
    Another half of beer I'm findin behind the chair
    Let you meal like you wish but you can't even wash a dish
    but you love to eat and rest them stink ass feet
    And blow up my telephone line like you was home
    Seen a nigga make five quick calls to the dome
    Ride around all day, 'Dro-ed or hash
    I ain't never heard once "Can I help you with gas?"
    I ain't never heard "X, can I buy you a meal?"
    But if we going downtown niggas is ready to wheel
    Now if you broke you broke, you got five dollars, give me one
    Cos most likely I'll give it back before the day is done
    If I'm spendin and bending, you should do it pendin
    That day when you break out and finally get your cake
    But I don't let that stress me cos life is but a test, B
    And every waken day, I'ma stay okay

    Chorus to fade
