TIME DON’T WAIT

Intro – soft, melodic)

Yeah…

Ayy…

Time don’t wait… nah…

I learned that shit the hard way…

⸻

(Hook)

Time don’t wait, I can’t move slow

Clock keep tickin’, got my back on the rope

Used to be broke, now I’m chasing these goals

Heart so cold but I’m chasing that glow

Yeah… time don’t wait for nobody

Had to hustle, they ain’t never gon’ spot me

Late nights, dark roads, just me and my thoughts

I done lost too much, I can’t take no more loss

⸻

(Verse 1)

I remember nights I was down on my ass

No money in my pocket, shit moving too fast

Everybody switched when I needed support

Now they act like they love me, that shit is a joke

I had pain in my chest, I ain’t show it though

Had to smile through the struggle, just play my role

Mama told me, “Boy, better chase your dreams”

So I got up and ran, now I’m chasing green

Fuck fake love, I don’t need that shit

People smile in your face then they switch real quick

I done seen too much, I don’t trust no soul

Had to build myself up from a broken road

Now I’m locked in, yeah I’m focused now

All that pain in my past made me who I am now

They ain’t feel my struggle, they just see the shine

They don’t know them nights I was losing my mind

⸻

(Hook)

Time don’t wait, I can’t move slow

Clock keep tickin’, got my back on the rope

Used to be broke, now I’m chasing these goals

Heart so cold but I’m chasing that glow

Yeah… time don’t wait for nobody

Had to hustle, they ain’t never gon’ spot me

Late nights, dark roads, just me and my thoughts

I done lost too much, I can’t take no more loss

⸻

(Verse 2)

I been grinding all day, I ain’t taking breaks

If I fall off once, that’s a big-ass mistake

So I stay ten toes, yeah I’m staying solid

I don’t need nobody, I just need my dollars

They was laughing at me, now they watching close

Now they hitting my phone like they need me most

Man that shit fake, I can see right through

Where the fuck was you when I needed you?

I had tears in my eyes, I ain’t let ‘em fall

Kept my head up high, had to stand tall

Now I’m leveling up, I ain’t going back

Put my pain in these songs, let the world feel that

Yeah, I came from the dirt, now I’m rising up

All this weight on my back, still I don’t give up

Time moving fast, I ain’t wasting shit

Every second count, gotta make it legit

⸻

(Bridge – emotional / melodic)

Yeah… nights got colder

Heart got heavy, but my grind got bolder

Demons in my head, but I fight ‘em sober

I ain’t going back, I’m a fucking soldier

⸻

(Hook – louder, more energy)

Time don’t wait, I can’t move slow

Clock keep tickin’, got my back on the rope

Used to be broke, now I’m chasing these goals

Heart so cold but I’m chasing that glow

Yeah… time don’t wait for nobody

Had to hustle, they ain’t never gon’ spot me

Late nights, dark roads, just me and my thoughts

I done lost too much, I can’t take no more loss

⸻

(Outro – fading)

Time don’t wait… nah…

So I’m running it up…

Fuck waiting…

I’m taking what’s mine…
