[Intro sample]
(You always due about this time)
[Q-unique]
I seen the time fly by
Seen I was doing drive by's
Shoot seconds to die that'll make father time cry
The big or little hand spend your lifespan
One hour is the main act, minutes and seconds is the hypeman
The years take youth
In return get wisdom
I'm having the time of my life and won't do a lifetime in prison
I'm always there in two seconds, always ten minutes late
Always hours before it start to sit patient and wait
The sands in the hourglass had my mind stuck in the shadow of a sundown, told my unclе his time was up
My stopwatch showed me first placе was the way to score and Big Ben reminded me I was still away on tour
It'll shoot right by you when you're having fun and seconds seem forever when you wanna reburn a negative sun
If I could, I'd spin it counter-clockwise to bring the moment back and spin it tho it is evil and fuck my soul aback
[Madi]
And to the tick-tock you don't stop
And to the tick-tick you don't quit

[Sabac Red]
How many times have that time is of the essence?
Hundreds of times, I define rhymes by my presence
Descendants of time, they used the sun as a reference
So don't fear time and learn they run from their lessons
I count my blessings, I survived in these streets
Could hear the god of time speak as he arrives in my sleep
Reminds me of these times full of anger and greed
To timeout and then later speak with bangers and g's
They know what time it is, we spoke about organization
How it takes time to plan and most all of it's patience
I've been waiting for a time when a change gon come
Even after my album dropped the pain ain't done
But after all the rain I know the sun gon shine
I told myself never give up, it's one more time
I climbed the highest mountain for freedom
Won't sign to jail
Conquer the signs of the time but only time will tell
[Madi]
And to the tick-tock you don't stop
And to the tick-tick you don't quit
(x2)
