[Intro: Solo]

This is my time

This is my, this is my, this is my time

Spitting my rhyme

Spitting my, spitting my, spitting my rhyme

Yeah I’m hitting my stride

Hitting my, hitting my, hitting my stride

Yeah, this is my time

This is my, this is my, this is my (yeah)

[Verse 1: Solo]

Ain’t a damn thing funny

Some of these dudes seem to print money but they’re counterfeit

But I don’t really blame ‘em

It’s all in the game man, shit, that’s just how it is

But it do piss me off

When they run around town and they flaunt like they’re proud of it

Well you can catch me with the clique

Holding up two fingers while I tell ‘em snap out of it

Like I was being rude to the waiter

As if I’d do that, I’m a smooth operator (operator)

None greater this side of the equator

Never cater to lowest common denominator

And we prolly never gonna make the top ten

Thinking that’s the object, then you’re wrong then

They got us locked out, so we got it locked in

So come and pop in, we can get it poppin’

Now my body filling up with the toxins

Running out of time, running out of options

Sooner or later I’ma be up in a coffin

But this is now homie, not then

[Pre-Chorus: Turquoise Prince (Solo)]

'Cause this is my time

I can feel it weighing on my mind

Knowing it will only slow me down

(I don’t wanna wait) I don’t wanna wait

(For another day) Not another day

(I don’t wanna wait) I don’t wanna wait

'Cause I’ve got

[Chorus: Turquoise Prince]

One foot in the grave

One foot in the car

One accelerates

And one takes me too far

One step towards the light

Still blinded by the dark

One foot in the grave

I’m right back at the start

[Verse 2: Solo]

Look

I ain’t like these rappers (I ain’t like these rappers)

They just take the easy way out

Me, I like a challenge (me, I like a challenge)

Put the grey disc in, then I hit spin, ever since

I been tryna find a balance (tryna find a balance)

Hoping that it all weighs out (weighs out)

But if you’re thinking anybody gon’ remember

Where they were on the day when your CD came out?

No way, sending shots like I’m buying José

Oh word, it’s your year? You don’t say

Gotta watch out for the fakes

They just do a good impression like a Monet

In the zone like I’m throwing strikes

But it ain’t happen overnight, did it?

We been putting in the overtime

Hoping that it coincide

So I’ma start where I am

Use what I have, do what I can

And when the road zigzag, whiplash

I’ma just stick to the plan

Supply and demand, I wanna be king of New York

I wanna be big in Japan

I want the world playing this shit saying

"This right here is my jam"

See this is my time, this is your time

Can’t nobody stop you from speaking your mind

You ain’t small time, you are all time

But we could all do with a little more time

This is your time, this is my time

Come and roll up, see the dead star shine

Till all round the world, they feel the vibrations

Toast the libations, 'cause time’s a wasting

[Chorus: Turquoise Prince]

One foot in the grave

One foot in the car

One accelerates

And one takes me too far

One step towards the light

Still blinded by the dark

One foot in the grave

I’m right back at the start

[Outro: Solo]

From the front to the back and the side to the side

Everybody in the house raise your hands, get ‘em high

'Cause the hands on the clock never stop ticking by

And say this is my time, say this is my time
