lyrics

[Verse]
Someone serve a hot plate,
Goddamn, when it get that late,
Got some shit I need to do,
And I don't need the help from you,
Even if my luck down,
Imma do it my way,
My way, is the type of shit these niggas be after,
Cause I spit real shit, they could never imagine,
If I said that you could have it,
Would you jump and try to grab it,
Reach as far as you can, hope it ain't gone like magic,
Real tragic,
Cause ain't shit funny,
Gotta build me up a plan,
Tryna get to this money,
One thing after another, why the lord tryna stop me,
I know that I ain't religious but goddamn that shit haunts me,
Opportunity,
Well it never came a knocking,
Spending money with no profit,
Throw it out like broken objects,
Got like damn near 20 projects,
And man if I'm being honest,
More than half of them is prolly laying in the fucking garbage.

[Hook]
Got no time to waste,
No time today,
Got no time to waste,
No time today,
If I never hit you up while I'm just stuck in my room,
That's cause I ain't got no time to waste,
If we only fucking speak every other blue moon,
Nigga that's just cause I ain't time to waste.

[Verse 2]
On a mission making dreams come true,
That's the difference between me and you,
I will see them through,
And ain't no one gonna stop me,
Got my own sound,
I ain't gotta copy,
But we see who do,
That's all y'all,
Where the fucking competition,
Why the bar low,
They must've dropped that shit when they went missing,
I don't know,
But thank God, cause they bouta pave the way for my ass,
Get away from the acid,
They be tripping, I be smoking on that fantastic,
Get me in the right zone,
Working on this fucking music, then before I know it,
Nights gone,
Soon after, my minds gone,
But I can't leave my mic froze,
Pulling 24s every other couple days,
Only get a couple hours 'fore I stay awake,
Got something to prove to those that know my name,
Cause they say that imma make it one day.

[Hook]
Got no time to waste,
No time today,
Got no time to waste,
No time today,
If I never hit you up while I'm just stuck in my room,
That's cause I ain't got no time to waste,
If we only fucking speak every other blue moon,
Nigga that's just cause I ain't time to waste


[Verse 3]
Felt like I was the man for a minute,
Had to switch up my position,
Get to listening to what they told me,
Feeling like they owe me something better,
I been locked in the cellar,
Seeing no weather, reminiscing of the old me,
Pay me no mind,
Praises to the most high cause time will tell,
Which one of us will rise, who will fall to hell,
Got a plan to excel,
Proceed by any means necessary,
Telling them I'll become something legendary,
Stone by stone, I'll pave my way,
It's a long way home, I'm here to stay,
My hope ain't gone, won't fade away,
Got people all up in my ear,
They whisper bout my biggest fears,
Then tell me it'll be ok,
I say no way,
Got no time for that,
Gotta lay down the tracks,
That guide the train to my next thought,
That I will become great,
It's funny how I started this to vent and I am still on it,
I see the bigger picture hoping paint just doesn't spill on it,
Just a kid with a dream, who knew I'd make it here,
But it ain't what seems, need me to make it clear,
Wish I could disappear sometimes inside my mind just to see what I could find,
And tell these mother fuckers get up on my grind,
Get on my level,
I don't want that 9 to 5,
Im tryna shine,
Erase my problems,
Sadly, money's gonna solve em,
Homie, I don't follow trends,
I plan to be the trending topic,
I ain't stopping till got it,
If I don't I'll go psychotic,
Need a glimpse,
I know you caught it,
Why do fuck niggas keep calling,
I keep hitting that red button,
Shouldn't that shit tell you something,
Mother fucker I'm still working,
Keep it going till the morning,
Killing niggas, still ain't mourning,
Getting bigger, can't avoid it,
Tryna find a way to show it,
Getting money just to blow it,
Killing niggas, still ain't mourning,
Getting bigger, can't avoid it,
Tryna find a way to show it,
Getting money just to blow it, nigga.
