Ab-Soul - Time Is Of The Essence Lyrics

This is forever going to remain a classic 🔥👍

You know I always gotta bump old ab soul.

60×60 the answer you get you multiply it by 24 lastly multiply it by 365 then boom seconds in a year, simple non is complex

My wisdom tooth hurts too bro...

I have some cid and I wanna drop it

2019 folk also thinking of time hence why you might be watching this ? :)

TheBunBun54321 I’m here all the time lol

ab soul>2pac

6 years ago today this was released . timeless piece

"My biggest fear is blinking and missing a whole year and thinking I was trippin, now that's a disappearing act for yo ass."

Timeless

#RealRap

why am i just now hearing

same, i was looking for his old songs

this song hits so well when youre comin off a long time addiction

so nobody gonna peep that overseer line?

I feel like Soulo became disillusioned with the game, and could you blame him? He was giving us jewels but we're letting 21 Savage, Lil Yachty etc go platinum smh. We've gota start supporting the *real* artists with *real* dollars

My thoughts EXACTLY. I feel like he said fuck the rap game

this would always help me cut weight for wrestling back in the days.Time has past but the memories will never fade

jheez, to this day this song still gives me the chills! real shit

Ab soul Lupe fiasco

He's right.. cos I sure as hells wouldn't have googled or counted it

He's actually wrong, this thing is simple 60×60 the answer you get you multiply it by 24 and this is answer you multiply it by 365 done.

Time Flies 5 Years already going on 6. Soulo ain't never lied time is of the Essence! This is Hip Hop personified!

He should tour a lot more. He hasn't been around in a while.

I swear if Ab-soul and Jay-Z do a song collaboration or Album collab the shit will be the hottest shit of all time it they're style compliments each other so well the two alter egos soul&hov.

Soul, black lipped pastor, young mind fuck. He got 3 eyes and he got 3 legs pick one...Long Term!

Time! Pink floyd shout out?!

hmmmm no, the Chamber Brothers
(time by pink floyd is one of my favorite songs of all time too, dont get me wrong)

every time punch spits it is like a branch of his previous verse, almost like a spiritual successor of his previous words. I love hearing what he has to say next, it's always so clear and specific. paints a great picture in my head like Tupac could. tde for life

Word shout out to Punch for being with TDE since the beginning and for giving Ab advice just being someone he could turn to who would never tell him nothing wrong

3 years later message still clear

+Raymond Thompson Dude i was thinking the same thing

5 years..

+The Strange Truth I can't believe how much time has passed. I was a senior in high school when I uploaded this.

2016 and I'm still jamming this!!! Ab Soul is a GREAT among the industry! His music should be studied in schools.

omg , very true

My biggest fear is blinking and missing a whole year

nice taste in tunes

thinking i was trippin

Now that's a disappearing act for yo ass

wish music like this was more appreciated... makes me sad seeing future- commas with all those views :(

Shit is too fucking dope. Wish TDE woulda never got famous lol. I was actually buying this right after it came out. I remember asking someone from Cali if they ever heard of Kendrick Lamar or ab soul lol. And they said no! Lol

Marc Regal aren’t they both from Cali??

Look up Ricky J. Reyes you won't be disappointed. 

And hope is all I really got.

Shit so dope right?

"You put youre all in something then thats all you got"

erica montez
You sexy as fuck

So why would Ab lollygag

Punch is hard as fuck on this song to

fucking wisdom tooth hurt LOL

I'm shedding tears to it now it reminds me of my brother who is currently gone for serving the USMC IN JAPN FOR THE NEXT 2 years, it reminds me of our childhood, I got him on Ab-Soul, and thanx Herbert for your great music

Thas wussup big dawwg.

thats whatsup im super nostalgic atm

deep. thumbs up if you've privately shed tears to this song

i love the "time" sample from the Chambers Brothers on this..takes me back to the exact moment I first heard that song with my dad blasting it in the blockbuster parking lot telling me to listen to the song and to understand it

My god this song goes deep it hurts mentally

Bob Jones it don't hurt in me opinion it realizes in me opinion

Dope for the soul

I agree, Ab-soul is a better artist than kendrick. kendricks a better rapper, but not artist

+JaSon Shay this is emc from a different Chanel, but to each his own man!

We can't forget ab soul's metaphors that are not for the weak minded, i mean some of his metaphors you'd actually have to have done it or seen it to even understand what he's really tryna say

Well I think Kendrick is the better artist but soul is a real thinker, intellectual what ever you'd like to cal it. I think if you just look at the bars, metaphors double-entendrems soul is better. If you look a k.dot his albums except for damm, they have a way better concept and are more cohesive. But soul is just the smarter dude, and he is capable of coming up with amazing lyrics, but I think he lacks a bit of artistic vision from time to time.
That being said Id still think Soul is an amazing artist and I might personally prefer him over Kendrick, just because of the food for though he brings to the table.

iTzMisTV 😎🤘

Other way around.

One of the more underrated songs in hip hop, from an underrated mcee in punch dude got skills on the mic too..Soul on his way though

i call ab-soul, the intellectual.

This is Hip Hop!

fuck it they say no, theres plenty mo

fuck the economy. Excuse the cursing, but what about the fucking world we live in. To hell with paper created to enslave us by the ones who are printing it. peace.

You Have NO Idea What This Guy Is About. Dnt Disrespect A Legends Like This' Video Wit A Comment Like That

Colin. The. Faget. That. Dies shut the fuck up

Ab soul! 666

HII POWER

chambers brothers sample..love it

I prefer his music a lot more when he doesn't swear much like this song

genius half the listeners probably dont even clock on to the puns!

that sample from crooklyn is dat!!

It's a movie starring Sanaa and Wesley called the disappearing act. Check it it homie

What movie is that fam?

Real fucking music with meaning... None of that main stream shit "bithes love sosa!" Real music aint on the radio

"And hope is all a nigga got, u put ur all in somthin and thats all u got"

might not be the rolling stones

yo i love how he sampled that old rolling stones stong..my pops used to BLAST that shit

"My biggest fear is blinking and missing a whole year and thinking I was tripping
Now that's a disappearing act for your ass
Wesley and Sanaa didn't have it that bad"

Yo does Punch have any solo material? he rips this and Beautiful Death

"Chrono-metro-phobia!!!" - hip hop

TIME!!!!!

never heard a Soul song I didn't like.

its not about genres, radio, main stream, or underground but good music

This may sound crazy but I hold Soul in higher regards that puppets like Barack Obama real shit!

every ab-soul song is 31,558,464,000 times better than any radio song period

on repeat.

My first time hearing an Ab-Soul track....impressive, I must admit...

DON'T FORGET THE DASH!!!

ab soul should collab with action bronson

Ab soul is on a different wave length. I'm glad he is here with us.

That's an Einstein quote, talking about how time is relative. Thought you might be interested in knowing that.

but most people arent ready which is why they do what they do and keep goin... seein over the people... Ab is a man for the people!!!!

Why the hell is souja boy in my suggestions?

you know that's from einstein right?

u both got it fucked up"31556926000 Milliseconds"

No one can top Soul. Kendrick, Cole, Krit, Rock, etc are great, but Soul destroys everything they are good at. Soul's flow, his rhyme schemes, his subject matter and so much more are what seperates him from the other artists. He's real as fuck and he doesn't give a shit about his looks, he just wants to show his fans what he's thinking. Whether it's about smoking weed, introducing them to conspiracy theories, opening them up to the possibility of the pineal gland, he amazes me with every track.

absoul go mad hard boy got soul forreal

Lol i guess not.

Lol i really am.. Thats the reason why i dont listen to radio music cause eventually it'll get played out and its tired anyways. But underground music is one of the best music for my taste.

Ya DAMN Right!

love it.. someone that speaks about the REAL shit.. not the "gangsta bullshit everyone else is on. #welcome2themovement

Ab-Soul quoting Einstein.
Me likes.

i guess u just dont really find girls like that anymore smh

i wouldnt expect a girl to listen to sumtin like this u must be a real hip hop fan

TELL EM AGAIN BOO !

TIIIIIIIIIIME

lol wtf

hahahaha

I read all of that in soul's voice haha

cool song i like thiss
