Hook - She’s on me like some camera time like when my time to shine coming
When she told me she loved me she left my mind running
Mind spinning are you the one for me or is my time coming?
Verse 1 - a yo we connect, making memories like if I recollect
Squad stepping out like sneaker fest, festival deep you pressed
She tried to hit me on some pick up where we left off
I’ll be best off, without you don’t even text call
She told me let love until next fall, in the borough where the nets ball
Kindly declined the lets work, you should just network
In front of the expert display your best work
Swallowing wine another bottle of your finest
Send her home with it let it age though daddy timeless
She want a diamond, but she deserve more
Until you find out that your spot has been reserved for
On some I don’t think we want the same thing in life
But I don’t think you’re thinking right
Hook - She’s on me like some camera time like when my time to shine coming
When she told me she loved me she left my mind running
Mind spinning are you the one for me or is my time coming?

Verse 1 - My gorgeous still wear the braids on the side
Thought she forgave me we all aging in time, I’m not that patient with mine
He caught a case we haven’t been to that state since
Said it make sense, bank slips Jordans lace tips
You were jealous now apologize goofy
Im the prize she’s stuck to me, you glorify whats shown in movies
Black owned like early sixties
My girlie want to twirl a Bentley I feel her immensely
She got money but she empty thats my type for real
They offered me a license deal right to my clientele
I did bad now she hate me pray I rot in hell
You’re doing bad popping bills
Hook - Kansas city, Chicago, Atlanta where you going?
Said she there with out knowing oh you lit ma’
Kansas city, Chicago, Atlanta where you going?
Said she there with out knowing
Verse 2- My shorty golden like Helen with the gold teeth
Slow feet, won’t get you nowhere we in this nose deep
Im doing better than you ever expected
Don’t check for me unless my bank account expecting collections
I used to pass collection plates just hoping to get to heaven
She want heaven on earth and want to pull up in a seven
That’s my bitch what she wants she gets we out for it
Status seeking I told her don’t be putting out for it
Used to run my finger prints, now sign the fine print
Lets talk the balance I was cursed, blessed, and blind with
He came home like where the time went?
Hook - Kansas city, Chicago, Atlanta where you going?
Said she there with out knowing oh you lit ma’
Kansas city, Chicago, Atlanta where you going?
Said she there with out knowing

Hook - uncork the red wine lets relax from rap
I get stacks from vinyl wax its like a platinum plaque
Can’t tie me down i’m for the streets she let them have me back
Uncork the red wine lets relax from rap
I get stacks from vinyl wax its like a platinum plaque
Can’t tie me down I’m for the streets she left them have me back
Verse 1 - Its such a shame I have to use white labels to keep my life stable
Life changing dinner for one I’m at the wide table
For me to settle down she has to hide labels
Fresh out of Saks fifth avenue no Bally hoo
Linked with my Chicago, Colorado and my Raleigh boo
I hopped the train to Brooklyn welcomed open arms
Dropping gems like broken charms, organic local farms
She just want to know whats next from this the testament
From genesis to exodus, eager for excellence
Can’t believe she let me fall like when the season approached
Like how my baby mother left me when I needed her most
we had dreams of playing minor league now he run the streets
Lead to two places, jail visitations or underneath
Im not the one to speak to about pitches this not the best time
Truly yours until the next time
Hook - uncork the red wine lets relax from rap
I get stacks from vinyl wax its like a platinum plaque
Can’t tie me down i’m for the streets she let them have me back
Uncork the red wine lets relax from rap
I get stacks from vinyl wax its like a platinum plaque
Can’t tie me down I’m for the streets she left them have me back
Verse 2 - I just hopped the MTA she want the eta
Lead the way, we can do this the easy way she often plead to stay
Blessed with good tase I’m so graceful
Grateful, she want to taste it with the grapefruit
at the top a great view I’m pass sight seeing
Told me give her one I gave her five reasons
To my surprising guessed who pushed up on me
I got good luck from it she had the hook up for me
My bro said he want respect and not the bread
I told the nigga fuck wrong with his head
And a bitch shouldn’t be broke if she got legs
Better hit the stroll but thats all you ma’ get ahead
When you get on remember 10%
Hook - uncork the red wine lets relax from rap
I get stacks from vinyl wax its like a platinum plaque
Can’t tie me down i’m for the streets she let them have me back
Uncork the red wine lets relax from rap
I get stacks from vinyl wax its like a platinum plaque
Can’t tie me down I’m for the streets she left them have me back

Hook - Hauled a cab then we caught a cab to the palace
Hotel palisades deluxe room for a challenge
What a change? Before I had a name I had balance
What a shame because now I’m feeling out of it x2
Verse 1- I told her thats it done she bounced back like I doubt that
Don’t make a scene we at outback take it outback
Wish that I could give it all back and the attachments
Let it go wake up the next day like it didn’t happen
I can imagine, where I would be right now
She asked my whereabouts trying to get to me right now
Where I’m about to go I’m trying to see right now
She like I’m down the street right now where we going?
Asked questions in fear of hoeing
Whats that? Who you with? Where you at? Where you going?
Where you going, beauty glowing, body showing and I’m knowing
If you throwing I’m staying until the morning like its snowing
Hook - Hauled a cab then we caught a cab to the palace
Hotel palisades deluxe room for a challenge
What a change? Before I had a name I had balance
What a shame because now I’m feeling out of it x2

Not her calling my line asking the addy

Not her calling me back like where you at Jah
Love affair ma’ this how Evette got a black eye
Not her calling my line asking the addy
Said if she find some hoes in my phone then she gone stab me again
Verse 1 - Condoms in the v like jody jo slipping
And the pack open ma’ you know how I’m living
She can’t believe she fell for what I was just talking
The other night about how I’m done messing up often
She asked me if I’m still fucking my baby moms
Said she want to see other niggas and they be asking
But here she is sticking with me and couldn’t fathom
She asked for honesty so I gave it
I love you the most these others one I can’t explain it
Said if I loved her I wouldn’t lie all the time
I lie because I love you I just lie all the time
Hook - Not her calling me back like where you at Jah
Love affair ma’ this how Evette got a black eye
Not her calling my line asking the addy

Before I fell I was reaching for the stars high, wanted you to see me in my best light
Im not Badu I couldn’t wait of the next life, time to get you
I had to find and get you
Hit some hoes at her job that was cold foul
Was doing wrong tried to keep it on the low down
Speed up with me when I tried to slow down
She told me if she insecure its because of me
all the pain she endured was because fo me
All the love that she poured into me
Hook - Not her calling me back like where you at Jah
Love affair ma’ this how Evette got a black eye
Not her calling my line asking the addy
Said if she find some hoes in my phone then she gone stab me again
Not her calling me back like where you at Jah
Love affair ma’ this how Evette got a black eye
Not her calling my line asking the addy
Said if she find some hoes in my phone then she gone stab me again

Verse 1 - Imagine me begging a hoe for some time I’ll be fine
Don’t want her if she not fine, she stalked my life I changed my line three times
My joint from England so we eat on tea time
We outside like a fucking street sign, I’m curry at the free line
My shot water, shot caller, caller number two
My bitch a baller too, its cons and pros have hoes may call a few
She popping pussy like pinky ping me she porn ready
Maybe its maybelline or she was just born sexy
Quick to pick her up like downy, my city found me
After pitchfork and Sadhu crowned me, you tried to clown me
Wait, when my bitch left that was a blessing in disguise
I used to question if its was mine until I learned a lesson on time
Speak of the devil another vinyl release
I did this all without signing the sheet my timing Haven’t peaked no
I was low for a second I’m making up for that
To keep them fit my bitches running laps, six thousand jumping jacks
How I feel about you pumping crack yo I don’t know haffe’
She said this not the spot for that you gotta go papi
i’m in NY but last year I didn’t know nobody
They said it cost an arm and a leg but I got bread
They gave a cold shoulder when I was trying to get ahead
Now I Uber hoes over a lot of things have been left unsaid
Now she calling back to back because I’ve been leaving her on read
She told my BM I was all in her DM and it was clipped for me
Threw out three years of history, reminisce and think
I really want to move away but my daughter here
Who’s going to raise her better than the one who brought her here
When I was twenty four life was kind of crazy
She said I wish you would’ve told me this before we had this baby though

Verse 1 - she hit my line on some bulls hit I dead it
She tried to play the hold the leverage game I had to exit
I’m certified stamp like my shorty get cramps every month
We living like we only live once
My ex had a bad hunch about my music dreams
She knew it probably take me somewhere that she couldn’t come
She asked was I loyal or am I doing things dealing with the consquences being young and dumb
Thought that I could get her back without the leg work
My queen told me I don’t think with my head first
my queen told me that I’m selfish I accept that
Showed my respect and took a step back
Told her what she want to hear but didn’t show it
I didn’t even know it, I didn’t even know it
Never knew you had the chance until you blow it
Now she pissing on a pregnancy test over the toilet
You don’t want to have a baby and she don’t believe in abortion
Hook - This for the aboriginas across the planet, I don’t care where you at baby just plan it
I don’t care where you at baby just plan it, I don’t care where you at no I don’t care where you at
This for the aboriginals across the planet, I don’t care where you at No I don’t care where you at
Verse 2- She hit my line on some call me when you free to link
Im in a different city now where you been at
You must not have no man now where you been at
Oh you back on fan time where you been at
I had to wear several hats to stay afloat
Nobody about to play me for a joke, brother no, woah
Said she she’s down to link anywhere
JFK, Charlotte Douglas, LAX anywhere
All she ask is spend my time with her
I love women with money I spend mine on her
Last attempt I failed aint have my mind on her
Said she had to make the most of her regrets
Had to live her life to the best and she flew
Everybody won’t understand what you do I had to learn
Then she got somebody else and that shit burn
I think I need to bounce for my mental health
i had to talk to my inner self
Hook - This for the aboriginals across the planet, I don’t care where you at baby just plan it
I don’t care where you at baby just plan it, I don’t care where you at no I don’t care where you at
This for the aboriginals across the planet, I don’t care where you at No I don’t care where you at

The latest in a string of superb releases from Charlotte’s Lord Jah-Monte Ogbon, Too Little, Too Late captures the rapper in top form once again. Sporting production from an ensemble cast (Mike Digi and Flls being two of the top performers), the album is a more relaxing listen than many of the rapper’s past works. The beats are far from one note however, as the sonic diversity on offer here is easily on par with any of his past releases. The raps are impeccable once again, with single ‘He For the Streets’ being a major highlight. This track’s title is an interesting play on words that captures the wider appeal of the Charlotte MC’s music eloquently. Although it holds within its tracklist the same brilliance as his other 2021 releases, I strongly feel that this is the beginning of a new era for Jah-Monte. He may still have plenty of time for naysayers, but with greater blessings in his life than ever it’s only right that the rapper celebrates them with more triumphant, luxurious lyrical content. He more than deserves his place in the rap hall of fame, and it’s clearer than ever on this release that he isn’t going anywhere but up from here. The album’s title adopts a double meaning in this sense, it is aimed not only at those who may have doubted Jah-Monte’s rise to the top, but also towards those who think he may one day fall from his position (it’s far ‘Too Late’ for that).
