[Intro: New Mayhem]
I never really got it
Got a couple rollies, but I never really bought it
Thought it couldn’t touch me, so I never really fought it
Now it’s coming for me, and I wish I ain’t forgot it
[Verse 1: Indiga Blue]
I don’t got no time for your lies
I just want the truth, when you gon’ realize
No time for lookin round, keep my mind on the prize
Fantasy take my vision, gettin’ signed overnight
Waists so many, dime the pennies, Hammurabi code
Fuckboy trendy, fuck the Wendy, cheatin’ with his chode
Me and Lil Baby, shit go crazy, that jus’ how life goes
Used to be a Medic, life got slanted, now I’m rappin flows
Where this gonna go?
Will I get my dreams
Will I have to let them go?
I’m tryna do the most
When I could jus' be sittin ‘round and taking down notes
Be a lawyer, do what you told
[New Mayhem]
(do it!)
[Indiga Blue]
But I’m knocking on the doors
Do it like I told
Hopin I go gold
Hopin Mach 3 and NYO2 were not some joke
Prayin I could leave like Cardi with the poles
Runnin up with my shit, stayin down ten toes
[Verse 2: New Mayhem]
I don’t got time to eat breakfast
Much less make lunch meat of contesting hustlers
Kicking back, relaxing’s like a deaf mime cause
It - it - it be unheard of
Like needing more than four words to get your girl absent
Skip the gabbing, asking straight up, “Do you like dragons?”
I’m coasting over knights, spittin written macro flames
Got them cooking in their armor, prehistoric microwave
Sadly, however, ‘happily ever’
Comes after only two pages
Time too short to gun up every phony who rages
Time too short to run the game in stages
Time too short to stunt on two mages
Believe me, we could straight buy out Magnum
Dump a truck of watches in the time space continuum
Spend every second making our opps hurt
And still be too busy till we hit that dirt
But look
I’m not saying all your time is borrowed
It is true you’re not promised tomorrow
We’re all really here on a loan from God
And He’s a boss who doesn’t promise any stable jobs
So you’re entire life is kind of do or die
And I know which one I prefer to try
Picking otherwise? I be asking why?
Reuben not on rye, it really isn’t right
One day you’re just some crummy kid
Going all McTaggart with some dumb lyrics
Working late into a warm summer night
On music that might not hit double digit likes
Ya blink twice, and suddenly you’re hitting 84
Sixteen grandkids, arthritic pains in both arms
Too old to do harm, yet still dreaming large
Thinkin “Why I stop to wait?”
But it’s too late
[Verse 3: Indiga Blue]
Oh, this is just a phase
Everyone go through this age
Everyone has dreams, every person can relate
But at the right time these dreams just gonna fade
Man, you just a kid, wait till the end of your days
Wait till the end of your light
Reality puts up a fight
Why you tryna fight back?
Your future already bright
Dreams aren’t seen in sleep, they the ones that keep you up at night
I don’t got no time, I can’t figure out my own life
