[Intro: Shane Eagle]
It’s the Switch up, baby
Man what happened to rap?
Look
Man what happened to rap?

[Verse 1: Shane Eagle]
Man, these rappers so typical
I drop a smash record
All these rappers so minuscule
It’s funny how they compare me to n***as who’ve hit their pinnacle
If I don’t buy my mom a house this year
I’m going cynical
I don’t need publicity
'Cause Eagle got the recipe
All I used to score was A’s back in high school
Don’t be testing me
Back when I was growing up
Gang signs they were throwing up
Rappers say they in the game
And I don’t see ’em showin’ up
Went from blowing trees
To being on joints with OGs
But I’m connected to this money like my paper Siamese
And I make these n***as grab a hearse
And when I’m on a feature
Make these n***as change their verse
God dammit
[Bridge: Shane Eagle]
Man what happened to rap?
Man what happened to rap?
Say, say what happened to rap?
Hip hop used to drop bars and now we just dab
It’s now or never
It’s time to change the game

[Verse 2: Proverb]
Whatever happened to clever rappin’, the heads is askin’
Now instead of passion, the level is trash to get the cash in
The question I’m asking: Did it die with the veterans back then?
Or does it live residing inside irrelevant has beens
Like the Proverb dude, but I know the truth
That’s why I jump in a vocal booth
To show to you how to mold the truth into multiple quotables
Put soul in the booth
Using flow as a tool
Heads enroll in my school
I show and I prove
Just how the oldest do, they still the coldest too (damn)
And I did it so comfortably
My scripture are humble pieces
Rumble in that jungle steez
There’s no denying
That I bury it a hundred feet
And the level is higher once the DJ Switch to Ganja Beats
Eish, but they turnin’ up and they turnin’ up
Nothing wrong with that
But their songs is wack and we learning what?
Hands have gone higher
If like me you’ve heard enough
Then we should build a bonfire of all their tracks and burn ’em up
[Bridge: Shane Eagle]
It’s now or never
It’s time to change the game
Man what happened to rap?
Man what happened to rap?


[Verse 3: Reason]
Forget a now or never it’s now or forever, forever and ever
They feel the presence every year like the month of December
To make sure you don’t forget
I got much to remember
Only because I give a F like I’m Juju Malema
To you who enter with new perceptions choose your dilemmas
Do what you do how you do it or just do what the rest does
Either way, know you’re going toe to toe with the Kwestas, the Xs
And that’s just you keeping up with the Kardashians
The birth of greatness so feel the contractions
Exceeded all expectations by a certain percentage
And still earn the respect I deserve
And I get the real deals
Surrounded by plastic like a Jordan 11
Original copy for now and forever
You duplicates should copy me now or will never
Then we’ll all be one and the same like Euphonik and Themba
The difference is I’m driven ’cause I know it’s now or never
[Bridge]
It’s now or never, never
It’s time to change the game, game

[Verse 4: Kwesta]
First off, fuck the deep voice
I got actual raps
So what’s your invoice?
Skinny negro that she might wanna feel on
She fucking with the music I put my Celine D on
Off the leash yo
I’m on beast mode
I got the whole city jacked and you me know
The guy to dethrone
I’m still a king though
I’m key, bored n***as come around just to c-notes
I eat off words B
Your crumbs don’t serve me
Y’all tweet like birdies
Your thumbs don’t scare me
So please y’all better be done, early
Or else I put a hole in one, Ernie
So bang bang or buck buck
There’s a reason why my proverbs stay high as eagles
Ya ngum phetha
So eintlik la maufanya hai ke mpitshi
Usanok’shawa nange Teargas member
Now or never

[Outro]
Man what happened to rap?
Man what happened to rap?
Say, say what happened to rap?
Hip hop used to drop bars and now we just dab
