My Time

The alternate route is a long one

But ultimately, in the end, it gets you to the same exact destination

Yes sir, the journey's been long

And the wins have been short

But today, none of that matters

The time is now, zoom, get close

The ego is gone, the room is for growth

But talent is there, the feeling is new

I mean, bottom is gone but the ceiling is too

I was higher than Whitney, headed toward the top again

Everything I write crack, like it's with a Bobby pen

But it's more than what you hear in a song

The wings are extended, the fear is gone

Hold up, the clips are loaded, safety is off

The business is in the black, I ain't taking a loss

Hold up, standards are high, hoes never hold out

The touring is cool, the shows always sold out

The foes are mad, but fuck it no one else cares

The kicks are custom, you'll never see em elsewhere

The stakes are high, the risk is crucial

And they love to hate me, but I love it when they do too

I've been waiting here for so long

Gotta take what's mine

Since time will never wait

Who am I stand up fate?

It's my time, it's my time, it's my time

Look, I've been hurt, I could pull up scars

Now the earth is my pull up bar

The journey was long, the roads were slim

Though I thank God today, I probably owe it to sin

Streets were hungry, I was torn apart

Even though them jails were cold, they warmed my heart

Was living the worst, but prayed for the best

Ain't have a thing given to me, had to rape success

Had to be used for approval, had to use whatever was useful

Had to act old even when youthful

Money don't make me, that ain't what I kill for

Cause I was richer than I'd ever been, and was still poor

Some never thought he would propel

Some talked to me just to speak to themselves

Some broke their arm, all while reaching for wealth

So when you come into the game, make sure you leave with yourself

We all got demons, a few I rivaled

Looked em in the eye, and they became suicidal

They thought it couldn't happen, they were too prideful

His head's an ornament on the wall as proof I survived you

Bills were high, money was low

Strip club was popping, wasn't money to go

Going nowhere fast, but drugs was a one stop

Couldn't shine selling that tan, I had my son blocked

Now I'm on acres, in a house, with a loft

The women are foreign, their blouses are off

It's a whole new me, I redefined my style

And since yesterday's gone, I guess the time is now
