(Verse 1)
ayo I'm pressed for time like my palm's on the clock/ and the world goes 'round like the hands on a watch/ And the come up is a trip, travel block by block/ when you can't knock the hustle still at legitimate spots/ still at ease with the summer breeze on the wind chill/ Parked in the same spot, tickets on my windshield/ there's tolls to be paid, we ain't made men yet/ and "yet" being the word most cats forget/ cause "yet" means there's a promise, some hope in the horizon/ moms keep on watching, you'll see your son is rising/ pops keep on pushing me, I got something to prove/ these four walls ain't enough, I need more rooms/ Baby girl is growing up, I gotta be that father figure/ cause cats ain't bringing up they kids so you gotta figure/ this world would be a better place if I stick around/ for her, carry that crown, So I show her/ that..
(Hook)
I put a hold on a day off/
You gotta work to get the pay off/
I'm putting in my time, to get myself Einstein/
a legend in my time!/
Living in these timeless times/
Looking at the world.. It's mine../
Looking at the crown it's mine../
Hours, minutes to seconds I'm still alive in time/
(Verse 2)
I use to wish for better days, listening to better days/ got my raps game up, opposite of all my grades/ got my tatt game up, illustrative in my ways/ all I need is my bank now, legitimate forms of tender/ who's the pretender, When broke means broke?/ choke means choke, in the crowds, weed smoke/ when these lights are what you dream of, and you seem gone just because/ today ain't what tomorrow has in store for you so we just/ wait around hoping for shit to go down/ won't dig around, what now, ain't shit been found/ well how the diamond in the ruff shine?/ when no body Is really looking, and we fine, reclined/ not giving a fuck, when luck won't make it self/ you make your own luck, I bet all of it on myself/ son I ain't got much to lose, in fact it's quite the opposite/ the world is up for keeps, I'm copping all stock in it/ something to profit wit/
(Hook)
I put a hold on a day off/
You gotta work to get the pay off/
I'm putting in my time, to get myself Einstein/
a legend in my time!/
Living in these timeless times/
Looking at the world.. It's mine../
Looking at the crown it's mine../
Hours, minutes to seconds I'm still alive in time/
(Verse 3)
Tonight I forget the troubles of this world/ And sport my smile out loud so grateful for my baby girl/ breathe in a breath of fresh air for my new heir/ We here... And in good health this gonna be a good year/ I woke up early in there morning with a different state of mind/ a creative way to rhyme, then I turned and shut the blinds instead/ I don't need the whole world looking in/ got enough to deal with, plus it's to early to begin/ since most emcees Now a days are depressed/ or stressed on some chain to grown shit/ I'm on my crown shit, I'm on my sound shit, that look at us now shit, turned it around and now we smile shit/ they want that cloud shit, that keep us down cause we brown shit/ so low to the ground shit, that in mud puddles we drown shit/ No! I'ma make to the top/ in my snack fitted I'ma make it off the block/ I'ma show em how I lock, in/ like I clocked, in, how I stop in, to get to cropp-ing/ and cut the lames out the frame/ in this game, I'll remain a champion/ "Stop" it can't be done/
(Hook)
I put a hold on a day off/
You gotta grind to get the pay off/
I'm putting in my time, to get myself Einstein/
a legend in my time!/
Living in these timeless times/
Looking at the world.. It's mine../
Looking at the crown it's mine../
Hours, minutes to seconds I'm still alive in time/
