Verse 1:
Stay awake, paving away
You can walk on my pavement
But don't stay in my way
Ain't concerned with the payments
I just wait for the day
That people learn to listen closer
To the words that I say
Hold on, wait
Please, don't concern me with hate
I ain't worried 'bout the future
Don't concern me with fate
Could've put my shit out sooner
So consider me late
I just had to keep it real
So don't consider me fake
See eyes fill with envy
Do this for my grandson
Plan comes together in a year
Like I had one
Mind still empty
Fears, no I have none
Can't run
So I don't give a fuck about the outcome
Outclass the masses
Outlast a blacklist
Dropped out my classes
Now I make classics
Spitting every sick verse
On a smooth canvas
And I just fucking do it
I ain't got time for practice
(Haaaa!)
Hook:
I ain't got time to waste
Fate ain't gon' wait for a time and place
Hate ain't gon' make up for my mistakes
(Tell the world that I'm ready)
(Shit, I'm chasing after greatness)
I ain't got time to waste
Fate ain't gon' take up no time or space
Patience won't make up for my mistakes
(So tell the world that I'm ready)
(Shit, I'm chasing after greatness)
Verse 2:
Dreams that I doubted
Looking back now, I can't seem to live without it
Never really gave a fuck about how I sounded
Head to the sky
Though I keep myself grounded
Pound for pound champ
Shit I'm seeing it now
I'm a mind with a voice that's in need of a crowd
What's a mind without thought, sight, feeling, or sound?
What's a voice worth if you ain't speaking out loud?
I came to slay shows I ain't scared of a stage
I am lyrically equipped and prepared to amaze
Making my way back to music
I've been at it for days
Still cocky, and yet, oddly
Past my arrogant phase
I am lyrically deranged
And I came here to own it
I've got enough friends
Shit I need more opponents
Stop the fucking beat
Let me relish in the moment
Now bring it back cause I gotta keep going
(Ohhh!)
Repeat hook
