Some guys tried to ruin my chances
But thankfully, I barely ever gave em' glances
Yea, you tried to drag me down
With your feet in the clouds
You really lookin' at the ground
Yuh, you ignore what's sound
And now we heaven bound
Yeah, we goin' up, and we ain't coming down
And we ain't stuck in a rut
Yeah we ain't gonna drown
Gotta keep your mind clear
On the one who you revere
Follow him for all the fear
Cause he knows where to steer
And I don't wanna go through the motions
Trying not to get demotions
Cause they get too devoted
On what is keeping them the closest
They fillin' an ocean
And without God, they all full of commotion
And everyone have motives
And we are lookin' for some pro tips
Yea we ain't gonna lose
But not because of anything that we can do
I'm putting in time
Time for the grind
Time for the climb
And time for the rhymes
Don't let em' make you blind
Don't let em' take your fire
Don't let em' fake your rise
And don't let em' take what you aspire
And everyone just has to come up in some way
Everyone is different
But nobody has the same play by play
And everyone is gifted
But don't let em' take your skills away
Don't forget to pray
And tell em' you were saved by grace day by day
(Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, woah woah)
(Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea)
Found you on the outskirts of town
They been looking at me different cause I never stay around (Yuh)
I got roses for my lover, I just might go undercover
All the seasons changing quickly, now I see a lot of colors, yea (Yuh)
If you faking on me, I won't ever call you brother (No)
I remember when she broke my heart and left it in the gutter (Yuh)
Now that God is watching over me, I never see the thunder, yea
Life switched lanes, had to go to different places (Yuh)
I been waiting on the love while I thumb through all the faces, yea (Yuh)
Fake friends, no amends, I'm heavensent
Meeting our end, but yea again, I'm better than (Ay)
I'm fighting tears as I'm looking at the past
Cause my days go slow but my years go fast (Yuh)
I'm just praying up to God to make the memories last
So we can meet up in the sky, now I'm staying steadfast, yea (Ooh)
I'm putting in time
Time for the grind
Time for the climb
And time for the rhymes
Don't let em' make you blind
Don't let em' take your fire
Don't let em' fake your rise
And don't let em' take what you aspire
And everyone just has to come up in some way
Everyone is different
But nobody has the same play by play
And everyone is gifted
But don't let em' take your skills away
Don't forget to pray
And tell em' you were saved by grace day by day
