[Intro: T Clipse]

Progression or procrastination I'm goin back to basics

The code cracked I made it to...


[Hook: T Clipse]

Time moving slow now it's like every second's a minute

I been on my own now been moving so low and so distant

I can be bored in the crib and go out wit' some friends and be feeling the same way

That’s just how it goes there's highs and there's lows I guess it's about how you...

Time moving slow now its like every second's a minute

I been on my own now been moving so low and so distant

I can be bored in the crib and go out with some friends and be feeling the same way

That’s just how it goes there's highs and there's lows I guess it's about how you maintain


[Verse 1: T Clipse]

My foot on the pedal my eyes on the road and the gas tank

I'm trynna be level between all the good and the bad days

Could never be kettle you niggas are corny and mad fake

I’m just being blunt been treating my notes like an ashtray

It's crazy when you in a class and feel like you smarter than classmates

But you still struggle to pass scrambling turning in work on the last day

Its all about maintenance working the day shift then coming home to the sad face

She saying she want you to win but it feels like she trynna keep you in last place

But we gon' be fine lately it's either fuck you or a peace sign

I could never decline I only move forward can’t press pause or rewind

I could never deny the actions I've done 'cause I sowed now I reap mine

I could never decline I only move forward can’t press pause or rewind


[Verse 2: J Prophet]

Time moving slow like a turtle race if you let it eat at you you’ll catch a case

Go and take a step back and just say your grace and then God will bless you with that paper chase

Just because you succeed at a slower pace doesn’t mean you won’t move on to second base

Possibilities endless like outer space let 'em know who’s the joker and who’s the ace

Remember sittin' at home all up in my dome feeling so alone

Thinking bout the chorme and trappin' out the phone but I’m not a clone a better path was shown

Went and chased a bone now a nigga known got up in my zone never hit a cone

Look at how I’ve grown did it on my own it was set in stone that I would rule the thrown yeah

Just feel my story 'til your mindset out the ash

Cause this world is full of hate and you can change it in a flash

Take your time to chase your dreams there’s no need to do the dash

And never stop because of doubts just like tires they gon' slash

All of your dreams changing the themes stick to yourself no need for teams

Ultralight beams trying extremes don’t lose your vision cause life’s what it seems

Grind like a skater jump over craters moving in silence then snap like a gator

Watch out for traitors now is a hater focus on later that’s what makes you greater
