Clock On My Neck

[Intro]
Tick tock
Red digits on the dash
Half tank
Whole life going fast (skrrt)
[Verse 1]
I don’t play with minutes, I tax ’em
Every little second, I stack ’em
You scrolling through your fears, I’m active
Turn late nights into assets, that’s habit
You text, “pull up,” that’s past tense
You were rich in my time, now you past-due rent
You want forever, but you waste one day
How you talking ’bout love when you stall my pay?
Mama said “girl, guard your hours”
“People take ’em like cash, then vanish like cowards”
So I keep my calendar cold, no favors
If you ain’t building with me, you a stranger to my labor
[Chorus]
Time thick, time heavy, it’s a gold chain
Swinging from my neck, not a plaything
If I give you one night, that’s a blessing
You can lose my love in a second
I don’t share my clock with the careless (nah)
I don’t waste my youth on the jealous (never)
If you wanna stand next to my name
You gon’ pay full price in my days
[Verse 2]
You want late calls, but you call late
Say you “on your way,” always stuck in the same place
You bet on “someday,” I bet on deadlines
You chase fake highs, I chase real lifelines
Every “maybe later” is a brick gone missing
You can’t build trust if you’re stuck in intermission
You say, “I’ll change,” same script, no action
Don’t talk future when you ghost in the present
I cut ties like I cut my losses
You had twenty-four chances, now the door padlocked it
Heart like a vault, time’s the combo
If you waste one more hour, that’s your final bravo
[Chorus]
Time thick, time heavy, it’s a gold chain
Swinging from my neck, not a plaything
If I give you one night, that’s a blessing
You can lose my love in a second
I don’t share my clock with the careless (no way)
I don’t waste my youth on the jealous (uh-uh)
If you wanna stand next to my name
You gon’ pay full price in my days
[Bridge]
I can’t hit rewind for nobody (nobody)
Can’t pause this life for your hobbies (for real)
If you fit my grind, then you ride in the front
If you slow me down, you get cut at the jump
[Chorus]
Time thick, time heavy, it’s a gold chain
Swinging from my neck, not a plaything
If I give you one night, that’s a blessing
You can lose my love in a second
I don’t share my clock with the careless (careless)
I don’t waste my youth on the jealous (jealous)
If you wanna stand next to my name
You gon’ pay full price in my days (my days)
