Yup, yup, that's life
Time runnin' shit
Slow me down, speed me up
Blink once and my year's fucked up
Show true colors when the clock struck
Mind racin' like a freeway when it's rush
Lessons from my old man, rough with the touch
Now I'm chasin' moments, sayin' livin's a must
Do it for the fam till I'm dust
Karma spin the wheel, who to trust?
Sayin' every day cost plenty cents
Got me in my head, I be overthinkin'
On the other side, I just need a second
Offer my reflection, drinkin' till the mornin'
Lot of time to waste, peace to make, money on my mind
Uh-uh, lot of time to waste, peace to make, I don't chase the rich
Lot of time to waste, peace to make, I ain't built for that shit
Uh-uh, lot of time to waste, peace to make, I ain't built for the shit
Homie on the corner say the time don't slip
Give a warning 'fore it vanish in the sky
Tiptoe through the years, brick by brick
Bump shoulders with the fear of goodbye
Waist-deep water and the tide too high
Shots at midnight in the dead of winter
Heard you bought your shine with a rented vibe
Everything borrowed but you call it pride
Everything written in the lines of your face
I was in the kitchen countin' seconds on a plate
Gotta listen when I tell you pace it down
Five years gone in a blink, no trace
You was wildin', sayin' youth don't crash
Deadlines pilin' like a mountain of ash
Early mornin', wash the sleep from my hands
Hit the shower, let the hot water pass
Tiptoein' over plans, brodie movin' too fast, told him hold up
Know I used to waste every hour I had
Difference now is I control it, I be
In the room and in the present, no more chasin' for the past
Feet up on the dash, light a spliff but I don't preach it
Under overpass, no cap
Sand spillin' out the hourglass
Grand total, that's a whole lotta laps
Quicksand, scramblin' outta that
Switch lanes, double back, life tax
Fare high, motherfuckers know it's outta whack
Cut ties quick, paralyze doubt every time it tap in
Every time fate knock, I answer it
Couple scars took straight to the chest
Wore 'em on my neck, motherfucker
Lot of time to waste, peace to make, money on my mind
Uh-uh, lot of time to waste, peace to make, I don't chase the rich
Lot of time to waste, peace to make, I ain't built for that shit
Uh-uh, lot of time to waste, peace to make, I ain't built for the shit
