If Time Was Forever

I would tell 'em it's only something they'd imagine
Tell him that shit'll never happen
Tell him the clock is ticking, tell him go and get it
Tell him work and go fuck your passions
They said time will tell all, it's telling me that shit ain't never lasting
You just be wasting that shit like a habit
Hours be gone, you better check your habits
Or maybe your habitat, check your environment
'Fore you look up and it's time for retirement
You been on bullshit, don't got no requirements
I thought I told you this time and time again
Multiple voices, it sound like a choir hit
So when you down and your ass don't be crying when
You looking back on the past, you ain't try no shit
Strings on a violin,
Know my life out of tune now this shit getting violent
At it for years, ain't no point in me fighting it
Like flying by and I can't even pilot it
Feel like I'm moving on a tether
Stuck in a motion and blow like a feather
Hours to days into years, I done lost it before
So don't tell me this shit is forever

Fucking wasted that shit
Wasted all that shit
Everything
Look where you at now

I would tell 'em it's only something they'd imagine
Tell 'em to go and make it happen
Tell him that clock is precious, better get to stepping
Every move that you make, it matters
Time will tell all, it's telling me this shit is everlasting
I can see the vision clearly no static
Fixing my life while I work on these habits
Spark in my mind, this that enlightenment
My past decisions, I know I fucked up but I know I can
Try again, try again, try again, try again, try again
Time will tell all, ain't no point in me hiding it
Cost of redemption and fuck it, I'm buying it
All that I know is that when I look back I'm the one who decided it
Strings on a violin,
Had to play the wrong notes before I got it right again
Seen the strings of fate, and now I'm fighting it
Burnt a couple pages, now I'm writing it
I'm moving free, fuck a tether
Spreading my wings, I ain't losing no feathers
Hours to days into to years, there's more to come
So I'm making this shit last forever
Fast forward all my life,
Pause tryna make this shit right,
Play it out before I can't decide
Rewinds make a nigga cry
Stop before I go and lose my mind
Skip ahead before my soul dies
Skipping back, I'm tripping on my pride
Fuck it though, a nigga gon' be fine
Had to tell myself that every second
Cause every minute I would hear goodbyes
Losing moments make me realize
That all a nigga really got is time
All a nigga really got is time
