[Intro]
Time
Use it wisely
Don't waste it
[Verse 1]
The passion I possessed done outlasted
Doubters and critics
10,000 hours surpass, count the
Minutes, don’t judge the image
Most my scars, they not visible
Pain that'll stop a business, bring rain
That cause traffic
Must painting a the proper picture
Vodka- sippers
Hypocritically quoting Islamic scripture
Seen Israelites on 25th, right where the
Cops will frisk us
High percentage of my type do time and
Don't get it back
Food poisoning, salmonella, digesting
Shit was trash
I guess it come with it the taste of this
Life, it bеcomes acquired
Wasn’t built to stop, don't get yoursеlf
High, like Richard Pryor
As I watched the blimp, tell me that the
World is mine
I wouldn't have took Monolo out, I
Wouldn't haven't screamed on Sosa line
I wouldn't have overdid it with the coke
Or kill a sober mind
You never 'posed to cross a boss and
Like Tony, I know the lines
The wind blowing through the palm
Trees as God whispers
Mama had the softest heart, somehow
She made a hard *****
[Chorus]
Dodging bad energy and vibes, I'm
Staying out the way
Every week, I hear somebody die, I’m
Staying out the way
Get money, take it back inside, I’m
Staying out the way
The worst thing you could ever waste is
Time, I'm staying out the way
Ask me where I’ve been, I'm with my
Kids, I'm staying out the way
You think I'm hiding, I’ll show you where
I live, I'm staying out the way
I don't want your blunt, don't want your
Cut, I'm staying out the way
If you know me, then you know what's
Up, I'm staying out the way
[Verse 2]
I hope you wash your hands before you
Dap me, I got kids to hold
My youngest been here two years, ain't
Nothin like my six year old
Jay a teenager , I done raised him since
He three
Free Travis, funny, nigga never miss you
If you free
Suck a duck and ask me how I been
I'm cool, don't act too concerned
You got too cozy at that table, till that
Table turn
Staying out the way, far away from all
The bullshit
Avoiding all these make believe robbers
That never took shit
Hope you brush your teeth before you
Talk, 'cause it's important
Hope your kids go them Jordans, if you
Got them Jordans
Hope you hit your mother off with more
Than just a portion
Know that being bold out here is the shit
That favors fortune
[Chorus]
Dodging bad energy and vibes, I'm
Staying out the way
Every week, I hear somebody die, I'm
Staying out the way
Get money, take it back inside, I'm
Staying out the way
The worst thing you could ever waste is
Time, I'm staying out the way
Ask me where I've been, I'm with my
Kids, I'm staying out the way
You think I'm hiding, I'll show you where
I live, I'm staying out the way
I don't want your blunt, don't want your
Cut, I'm staying out the way
If you know me, then you know what's
Up, I'm staying out the way
Before ya'll n***** boo it
It's not helpin'
Staying out the way
Where you've been?
I'm staying out the way
Uh, Pablo
I'm staying out the way
