It's my time to live

No one can take this from me


[Verse 1 - Disashi Soul]

Ladies and gentlemen, maybe we're entering our last chapter

Watch your every step it's shaky like a cracked ladder

Are these our final days or a new beginning, I'll ask after

And cherish every breath for now

That matters

Remember the days when like six people came to witness me play

Well God delivered a way for me to get paid for living the stage

And now it's time to elevate again

You know I play to win

So let the games begin

Let the rain descend

Let it flood

I'm not afraid to swim

Ocean, lake, or spring

Even in the dark night, I'm never caving in

(caving in)

I pay no mind to those plotting my defeat

I just say yes to life like I'm nodding to the beat

I just chill like this sax, ignoring those who are soulless

This is my time like I own a new Rolex

I Kyrie cross those who attempt to push me back further

Now I'm on top of the world like a flat-earther


[Hook]

It's my time to live

No one can take this from me


[Verse 2 - Marcus Smith]

Who are you?

That's what I'm asking when I look in the mirror

Fear I'm hearing my negative thoughts coming in clearer

But sometimes (most times)

Every now and then I just ignore it

Push it down like trash bags in a can

And damn, who would have thought that we'd make it this far

I went from dancing with the devil to Harlem shaking with stars

In autumn, hitting bars

Sunflowers in parks

Philly steaking even though the hotel declined my card

In awe of my accomplishments

Even though I sit back and feel I ain't accomplished shit

Looking at the industry, sizing up the competish

I just want to be somebody's hero like Disashi did

For me and my friends

Tryna figure it out like Sue Summers

I've been mastering my craft like 22 summers

The stuff I'm working on now I hope it do numbers

I've been mashing on the game so long that now my thumb hurts


[Hook]

It's my time to live

No one can take this from me
