Time

[Intro]

Time won’t be on your side like I am, like I am

Time won’t be on your side like I am, like I am

[Verse 1]

Tears run from my eyes, dozen times I don’t wanna die

And they say that’s just life, if that’s just life, can I skip the line coz

I just need more time, need more time

Ain’t got a girlfriend yet, ain’t won a grammy yet

And my son ain’t a daddy yet and my mum ain’t married yet

And I ain’t patched up with my cuz but characters make a family mess

Some feelings just don’t go, feelings you should not hold

And Jesus heal us both, when in need, when in need yeah

I love you is what you know, when in need, when in need yeah

And I ain't got a Bentley yet, And I ain’t done Wembley yet

And I ain’t sat down with my baby mum and made it up and told her to be my friend

And I ain't seen my dad with my mum in years

And I ain’t gave my grandma a hug in years

And I ain’t seen my sis in weeks

And I ain’t seen my son in days, got me feeling like I’ve run away

Coz I’m a slave to the music but you take it and use it

Like some atheist Judas but the hate we rebuke it

But I’m only human so I ain’t seen the heavens yet

And I ain't seen my bredrin yet

All he left was a super SNES, our last game was a sudden death

Then he upped and left, if I would I was clutching breath

I can’t breath, Eric Garner-esque

You ever felt that lump in your throat

Ever felt that touch in your soul

Today I saw a dead body, uncle left his son lonely

Someone’s gotta console me, coz my papa just won't preach

I've taken L's and won trophies, but never seen my mama so weak

She tried to hold and tell him don’t leave

I had to tell her “let him go sleep”

Coz he’s just tired now, he’s just lying down

He ain’t die now, he’s just flying now (eh)

I tell you something that he told me:

“Never listen to the OG's”

“When you’re special in your own league, you’ll be following your own lead”

[Bridge]

If this is something that you know, this is something that you show yeah

This is something that he wrote, this is something that is gold yeah

[Verse 2]

Seen your life flash before ya, will make you get life insurance

Ever walked into the morgues then ever seen different corpses

Thinking one day they was walking, next day they’re with the horsemen

Tryna gallop to the lord yes, praying that the gates would open

Forgive me for my sins, look after all my kids

They didn’t deserve this, I had more to give

You took me too early, I just scraped through 30

If I’m worthy, may the Lord have mercy

I know you know evil, and I didn’t do no evil (oh yeah yeah yeah)

[Bridge]

If this is something that you know, this is something that you show yeah

This is something that he wrote, this is something that is gold yeah

[Outro]

Time won’t be on your side, like I am

Time won’t be on your side, like I am

Time won’t be on your side, like I am

Time won’t be on your side, like I am
