Prompt / Lyrics
Intro (Ticking clock / whisper) Tick… tick… You hear that? DJ Mike on the beat That ain’t a beat… that’s time chasin’ you… ⸻ Hook (Hypnotic / steady) Minutes don’t miss, they don’t wait for nobody I blink twice, now the whole room changed on me Hands on the clock still movin’ like they know me Tryna outrun it, but it right there on me Minutes don’t miss, nah, they don’t rewind Every second gone, I can’t press rewind I been spendin’ life like I got more time Now I hear it tick every time I go quiet ⸻ Verse 1 (Smooth storytelling) Woke up late, but it felt too soon Sunlight cut like it knew the truth Said “you behind,” I ain’t argue back ‘Cause I felt that weight in the things I lack Used to say “I’ll get there later” Now “later” turned into pressure All them plans I was ‘bout to make Turned into things I don’t remember ⸻ Pre-Chorus I keep sayin’ “one more day” Time just smirk and fade away Every promise I delay Comin’ back like “what you say?” ⸻ Hook Minutes don’t miss, they don’t wait for nobody I blink twice, now the whole room changed on me Hands on the clock still movin’ like they know me Tryna outrun it, but it right there on me Minutes don’t miss, nah, they don’t rewind Every second gone, I can’t press rewind I been spendin’ life like I got more time Now I hear it tick every time I go quiet ⸻ Verse 2 (Faster cadence / internal rhyme) Tick tock, chest locked, feel it in my pulse now Deadlines, red signs, I can’t even slow down Past life flash quick when I close both eyes Future look back like “you runnin’ outta tries” I had chances I ain’t touch Had people I ain’t love enough Had dreams I ain’t chase down Now they echo when it’s quiet—loud ⸻ Bridge (Beat drop / minimal) What if… Time ain’t movin’… What if… You just losin’ it… ⸻ Hook (Bigger / layered) Minutes don’t miss, they don’t wait for nobody I blink twice, now the whole room changed on me Hands on the clock still movin’ like they know me Tryna outrun it, but it right there on me Minutes don’t miss, nah, they don’t rewind Every second gone, I can’t press rewind I been spendin’ life like I got more time Now I hear it tick every time I go quiet ⸻ Outro (Ticking fades / spoken) Tick… You still got time… But not as much as you think…
