Timing

Not once but twice, I've been laid off
No debts of mine, I've done paid off
At home with my family, no taking loss
Shaking off All these rumors, they've been making false
Focused on this craft, haven't strayed off
People have misinterpreted the way I came off
Stay grounded to my roots, same loft
Take advantage of time, No days lost

Learned a lot from these experiences, I've dug in
Shaping the person I am becoming
I could be upset - let the flood in
Ignoring the distractions that are tugging

But this sump pump is pumping out these bars, for public works
To build a lump sum of this music that's preferred
While rocking the Cole Bennett look, the sweats and birks
Coming straight out of the Chicago burbs
There is no caution this is red alert
I'm real talk the rest are flirts
This is a real act, the rest rehearse
Rest in Peace to old habits, 'rest is birth
Some will look me in the eye, the rest will smirk
They'll feel threatened, the rest will work
Gotta start believing, next is church
I'm writing for myself, the rest dessert

It was all uphill, the rest is curved
It's all green grass, the rest is curb
This is my business, the rest are clerks
This is all vision - until the rest confirm

Oh oh oh ohh
It's all about timing
So I'm sitting around working, no thought about reclining
And from all this I've learned one thing
The one thing, that one thing
You gotta capitalize on this timing

This real feeling, Is it coincidence
Putting in due time, the diligence
Keeping cool - no explicitness
In the big picture? Insignificance
Me and you? What's the difference

My work ethic - rigorous
Peace of mind, significant
When pulled together, limitless

It's time to wake up, it's time for pans
It's time to heal, it's time for scabs
It's time to tell people, it's time for ads
Its time for message, its time for brand
Get the adrenaline, its time for glands
It's time for community, its time for flags
It's time for schedules, its time for plans
It's time to give, its time for grants

It's time for growth, its time for plants
It's time to work out, it's time for abs
It's time to get outside, it's time to tan
And I'll share this music and the scraps

Oh oh ohh, It's all about timing
So I'm sitting around working - no thought about reclining
From this I've learned one thing - gotta capitalize on
Timing
