Time don’t stop,
Lose your grip with the tick of the clock,
I know what I am and I know what I’m not,
Took a leap of faith, going straight to the top,
And it goes like this…
Time won’t stop,
Move too fast till your ass in a box,
I can’t let go ‘cause I got it on lock,
Now who’s gonna grow and who’s gonna rot?
Let ‘em know like…
Let it all fall down,
Time running out, what you gonna do now?
Seconds are precious, continue to count,
Every blink as you sink, got you thinking out loud,
Try to find words, got ‘em in my throat,
Gotta get ‘em up or I might explode,
Had to let them know any time I spoke,
That I give my all and it’s better than most,
But I’m humble,
I’ma say what I can as I write with my pen,
What I want, my demands, while I’m able,
Gonna gain some scars when you play your cards,
And you lay them all out on the table,
If you win or lose, gotta change your view,
Gonna see it from a whole new angle,
Are you gonna fly high? Will you fall from the sky?
Will you ride with your demons or your angels?
Time don’t stop,
Lose your grip with the tick of the clock,
I know what I am and I know what I’m not,
Took a leap of faith, going straight to the top,
And it goes like this…
Time won’t stop,
Move too fast till your ass in a box,
I can’t let go ‘cause I got it on lock,
Now who’s gonna grow and who’s gonna rot?
Let ‘em know like…
