Time - KV

On the tape, I had asked, «where you see yourself in ten?»

Since then, had some friends in the box and some in the pen

'Lot of people depending on downfalls to breathe again

'Lot of people I dropped, they tried to see me descend

And when some friends are feelin' needy, I’m always a hand to lend

But some people just get to greedy and take it to an extent

Some only talk when they need me, and then they try to pretend

Like they’ve been waitin' to see me, so we could catch up again

I ain’t ever ask for love, I don’t even ask for much

I stay humble and generous, people try to boil my blood

Try to take control of the music, just because of their lust

For where the money is truly and so they try to construct

New routes for you to take, in hopes that you’re in a rush

To get some money in your pockets with a contract they’ll cook up

And if you don’t read that contract, guaranteed, you’ll be stuck

And if I stuck with the agreements, I’d make Pop for y’all to bump

I cannot make this up, I don’t got to tell a fib

We were put in the position, where we almost lost the crib

My brother fell to the system, they tried to give him a bid

Fifteen years in prison, to justify what he did

We used to say, we gon' be the first to do it big

Promise to never get caught up and change the way we live

I had to talk to him straight, what happened to the plan?

He could’ve went to the league, it wasn’t in his demands

Things changin' up with the fam, I wasn’t ready

Used to say they were all good, but they were never steady

See my older cousin expressed all her feelings already

A drunken night, explained why she no longer bang with us heavy

Said people go their ways, don’t you ever think that it’s envy

Memories lost, so we move like we don’t even have any

Couple family members didn’t get invites to the weddin'

But that’s a whole different story, that ain’t mine for the tellin'

I never crack against the pressure

I never fold even with losses, I know that nothing last forever

I don’t have time to lose my focus

Keep my mind from being broken

They say my heart’s never open

I said a lot of y’all, think y’all got the best men

'Lot of y’all, surrounded by some yes men

Who just try to, act like they’re your bestfriend

But they just tryna, make the best investments

If that’s your hustle, no knocking ya

But some of y’all just feenin' to be known by the popular

People will do what they gotta do til their clock is up

It’s either you, ridin' with the Zone or don’t rock with us

'Lot of y’all second guessing, 'lot of artist in question

'Lot of things that I peep, kind of changed my perception

'Lot of y’all only speak, but fail to show the obsession

To ever put in the work, and get the things y’all been stressin'

'Lot of y’all like to creep, 'lot of y’all like to sleep

Some of y’all hate these words, because they’re coming from me

Some tried breakin' me down, because they’re lackin' belief

What they had failed to see, is I ain’t ever been weak

Never rush the greatness, know that patience is key

Wildin' in this game, just know I’m playing for keeps

Make a million moves without making a peep

No competition man, you better off just taking a seat

I’m very rare when it comes to the stakes

But I’m, well done when it comes to the plate

I’ll never, sell my soul, just to get me some cake

But I’ve been sacrificing leisure just to make sure I’m great

I never crack against the pressure

I never fold even with losses, I know that nothing last forever

I don’t have time to lose my focus

Keep my mind from being broken

They say my heart’s never open

Love all, but trust none

Believe in yourself, and never lose faith in others

Settle for nothing but the best

And give One hundred and ten percent in everything you do

Find your purpose in life, and live it

So keep it to yourself

Keep it to yourself

Keep it to yourself (x2)

I’ve been studying life

Doin' everything I can, to make sure that’s right

People tell me, this a gamble, I ain’t too scared to try

Take a risk, life is over in the blink of an eye

Go and pick up the die

My only fear is time, it’s too stealthy

Staring at the clock, it honestly doesn’t help me

Seventeen, I said at Twenty-three I’ll be wealthy

I passed Twenty-three, not rich, but I’m alive and I’m healthy

Guess you can kind of say that it’s the same

Tryna stack my money, flip it right, maintain

Couple people want me switch up, switch cars, switch lanes

But, not to see me flex, for me to throw this down the drain

And flush this all down

The funny thing about this expedition

Is the people that will always try to hound, me for

Picking up this route cause, they don’t see the proof that

I can show the world my own sound

They hoping that it flakes

And then they mention greats

And said I can’t be one, cause they were possessing traits

Basically tryna tell me, that I don’t have what it takes

My mind is a deadly weapon, I’ll never let it just waste

My sister had a baby, his dreams I’ll always embrace

His mother was a teacher to me, showed me all the ways

Gave me all this knowledge and I just learned how to pace

So I owe it all to him, cause I see her inside his face

I never crack against the pressure

I never fold even with losses, I know that nothing last forever

I don’t have time to lose my focus

Keep my mind from being broken

They say my heart’s never open
