lyrics

You know I once heard a proverb that read:

Yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery
And today is a gift, because it is the present...

But I guess that's the struggle...

Amidst all of grinding and hustling...I still gotta find time to breathe...

Sometimes, I don't got time to think sometimes
Go a whole damn week without an inkling I, know
Who am, or know what's really on my mind
All I can say is I get up to do it one more time
See, for me it's my music, my self and my fam
And I'm attached to my craft like an umbilical man
If you don't like it there's no time to build up a plan
Gotta keep my arrow pointed up like the symbol for man
But amidst all of the hustlin' and makin' my goals
It seems time doesn't have a way to place it on hold
I see whole days slip through my fangas and go
Down as days where I didn't have a break of my own
Might've been a mistake of my own, this pursuit of my dreams
While working two jobs that're just the root to a means
To an end, and if I gotta sacrifice my minutes
Then I will, hold on, I still got a bite to finish

Hook--

I want to, be with you
I know you, had dinner made to be...for two, sorry baby

TIme is my friend, but really more like my enemy
And the less that I have, I'm acting less like a gentleman
More like an asshole, wish time had a capsule, that I can
Sit and chill, that's probably why I can act so
Stand offish, man conver-sation's so damn awkward
You say you can offer, but I don't make plans off it
I say with my hands stop it, this never will work, I swear I'm
Cold as the body that's occupyin' a vamp's coffin
My intentions are good, but, I'm pensive as hell
Because time's too precious for me to spend it in jail
Can't be a prisoner here, inside of my skin
I gotta roam free baby, it's my right as a man, but if you're
Ride or die, maybe we can modify, my
Views on relationships, shit, all we got is time
N' maybe it's time to make time insignificant
The timing is perfect because I'd like to get intimate with you

You know, we always act like we're too busy but...we're not lol.

Hook--

I want to, be with you
I'm gon do, the things, I said I would do...

I won't screw, this up, just please, can you
Guide me through, lead me, to you
