Minutes Like Money

[Intro] (Vinyl crackle, soft piano loop, distant street ambience, slow build)
Yeah…
Tick-tock… don’t stop…
Feels different when you hear it like this…
[Verse 1] (Boom bap drums, steady kick-snare, smooth old school flow)
Woke up late, same cycle again
Phone in my hand, I’m scrollin’ instead
Hours just fade, I don’t even notice
Chasin’ a life but I’m stuck in the moment
Said I’d change, yeah I meant that for real
But comfort zones got a stronger appeal
Days turn to weeks and it’s slippin’ away
While I keep sayin’ “I’ll start that today”
[Pre-Chorus] (G-funk synths glide in, bassline starts to groove, melodic tone)
We act like time just waits in line
Like we can press rewind anytime
But every second gone don’t come back twice
Yeah… we payin’ with our lives
[Chorus] (Funky bass, smooth hook, west coast bounce, catchy delivery)
We spend minutes like money, like it’s never gonna run out
Talk big dreams but we never even step out
Say “one day”… but that day never comes round
Clock keeps movin’, it don’t slow down
We spend minutes like money, throw it all in the air
Chasin’ everything but never really there
If time is gold, then we’re already broke
And we don’t even care
[Verse 2] (Harder boom bap drums, sharper flow, more punch in delivery)
Same old plans, new excuses made
“I’ll do it tomorrow” — line on replay
Got big visions sittin’ in my head
But fear got me sleepin’ instead
Everybody want more, more, more
But don’t wanna walk through the door
We wait for a sign, wait for the spark
Whole time we just stand in the dark
[Gqom Drop] (Heavy raw drums, minimal melody, chant-style vocals, dark energy)
Right now… move… don’t freeze…
No time… go… don’t breathe…
Step in… shift… heartbeat…
Time gone… no repeat…
[Bridge] (Beat strips back, soft keys + bass, reflective tone)
No rewind, no reset
No second chance on time you spent
If you got breath, you got a shot
Right now’s everything you got
[Final Chorus] (Full fusion: boom bap drums + g-funk lead + added bounce)
We spend minutes like money, like it’s never gonna run out
Talk big dreams but we never even step out
Say “one day”… but that day never comes round
Clock keeps movin’, it don’t slow down
We spend minutes like money, throw it all in the air
Chasin’ everything but never really there
If time is gold, then we’re already broke
And we don’t even care
[Outro] (Vinyl fade, synth tail, ticking clock fades out)
Tick-tock… don’t stop…
All we got is right now…
Yeah…
