Lights off

Ain't nobody watchin' me

I heard about the Man in the sky

But He prolly fell asleep

Yeah, and you say Audemars, Audemars, Audemars

I still don't know what time

That the sun comes down from the stars

Lights off

Ain't nobody watchin' me

I heard about the Man in the sky

But He prolly fell asleep

Yeah, and you say Audemars, Audemars, Audemars

I still don't know what time

That the sun comes down from the stars


[Verse 1]

Yeah

They say that time waits for no man

Nah, they probly lyin'

Cause time waits on me like a servant all of the time

But, uh, I know some people who actually servin' time

Committed to this grind or just committed some crimes

Sometimes I wish I had some more time to think

And all the time in the world is all the time I need

And I know eternity's calling

But my mind too busy racing to pay any mind

Spent a whole lot of money on a watch

Ironic cause I got it, but I hardly sit and watch the time tick by

I spend time tryna buy it to own time

Never thought that I was only wasting my own time

Who holds time?

They say He'll be coming in no time

Pray I pay attention cause I'm giving Him no time

When the lights off, is anybody watching me?

Heard the Man above never slumber, never sleep

[Verse 2]

Yeah

On the corners in the alleys

I see conans and cowards

Scared to question their existence

Like ain't no final hour

Can we blame the sins of a reverend for all our irreverence

Does my time spent on earth qualify me for heaven

Did we tick Him off by wastin' all of these ticks on this clock

Or is He graciously givin' me time to give Him my heart

I'm sure it's the latter, sure that it matters

And I believe I've been given all this time

So I can try and redeem it

Or make the most of this stop watch that I'm racin'

You stop and watch you ain't racing'

You erasing yo' minutes, you can't replace 'em

And at the end of yo' days when eternity's in yo' face

You had one life to offer up in his service or lay to waste

So my Rollie's tellin' me to roll out

Make investments with my time while I'm tryna hold out, hold out

And fame, money, success be competing for my investments

But I can't take 'em with me when it's time for me to exit

Turn the...
