Shad - It's About Time lyrics
[Shad - It's About Time lyrics]
Lost faith for a minute
He went on break for a minute
And let his strength escape for a minute
And he fell
This world ain't safe for a minute
Devil's favorite phrase
"this will only take a minute"
Don't sleep, can't not be awake for a minute
Cousin of death
And death don't take but a minute
Cynic, wishing every minute
Just talk and ticked off, just watching
Tick-tock
Every minute times money, money talks
False prophets limited to no dividends
Just loss every minute
Counting costs and props
And the job doesn't finish
Been going since time, been a hot minute
It's his thoughts all creeping around
Himself like a clock
Short hands trying to reach for
The top every minute true measure of a man
True measure of a minute
Is that both don't stop
Time and soul infinite let it drop
It's about time
It's about the feeling when everything aligns
When you see the signs
When you crawl and you climb and you grind
And you finally arrive it's about time
I lost faith for a minute
Went away to take a break for a minute
It seems Hip-Hop ain't safe while they in it
Just trying to make hit's
Playing baseball with it wasn't first
What's worse is I'm late for the second
I've been in it for a minute
Can't wait for a second
DJ's say there ain't no break in my record
Only if I act fake on my record
So, it's time I take a second and think
First lines time my seconds in ink
Written by a good boy
Produced by a Rich Kidd
It's time to prove what the
Definition of rich is
It is something that pass me
My hands and mind
On another level, another class of rhymes
Song melodies, car remedies, longevity
It will last the time
It's a feeling when everything aligns
And when it does I find life
Speaks to me in rhyme
Like a rapper, life's Too $hort for stressing
Don't count down the seconds
Count up the blessings
And don't count on getting many
Answers to the questions
The question mark's the spot we
Began to get the lessons
It's when you feel destined
When you feel the essence
The presence when you feel
Present in the present
It's about time, the hard times some do
And the minds in prison on the outside too
When the blinds so you can't see outside you
To the outside time, no outside you
I be running in my outside
Lane no high stepping
Full stride keep pace to the last second
So when I finish if they
Still want to ask questions
I'll be like Usain Bolt
Check my track record
He went on break for a minute
And let his strength escape for a minute
And he fell
This world ain't safe for a minute
Devil's favorite phrase
"this will only take a minute"
Don't sleep, can't not be awake for a minute
Cousin of death
And death don't take but a minute
Cynic, wishing every minute
Just talk and ticked off, just watching
Tick-tock
Every minute times money, money talks
False prophets limited to no dividends
Just loss every minute
Counting costs and props
And the job doesn't finish
Been going since time, been a hot minute
It's his thoughts all creeping around

Short hands trying to reach for
The top every minute true measure of a man
True measure of a minute
Is that both don't stop
Time and soul infinite let it drop

It's about the feeling when everything aligns

And you finally arrive it's about time
