IN TIME

I hope in time you gon get your life
You gon make things right, you gon end that strife
I hope in time you gon love and forgive your brother
All the pain that he caused your life
I hope in time you gon love on your mother
You know she deserve it, right?
I hope in your time you gon build with your father
You know, ignite that strike
I hope in time you gon cash that check, pay back them debts
I hope in time you gon do everything that you said you gon do
Like, bet, aight, aight
I hope in time you gon let the anger change you
Force you to make a change, now the new you a stranger
Tell them old friends, send up a prayer, you on to something greater
I hope in time you gon see that mirror
Accept yourself, see the lining silver
I hope in time you gon see your mistakes
Teach your kids, hopefully they learn much quicker
I hope in time you gon let go of material
Know riches ain't worth your soul
I hope in time you see time as a luxury
Worth more than the shiny gold

And people in this world
They, a lot of, I mean a lot of people are smart, a lot
They might not think they're smart
But they're smart in different ways
It's the fear that they have to fail or succeed
And that's why they never do
So just sit where they're at their whole life

The planet is full of ideas
If they don't match up, they gon end your career
The women are tired, they're taking their power
The men are subdued and they're looking like cowards
The child are conquered by all of the scrolls and media
Lost sheep out here looking for a Shepard
Taking whatever you feeding them
Algorithms determining worth
Codes decide what captures our eyes
Purity that will lead you to a hearse
Sincerity reeks of profit and lies
Why unity never thought of first?
Conquer easy when we divide
Your strength resembles a gift and a curse
Pray we open our eyes

You know, I look at it like this bro, we just hustlers, man
We're going to adapt
I mean, you know, some people call that hustling
Like hustling in the street
I'm talking hustling like doing work, you know?
It's doing what you gotta do, you know?
Don't let nothing overwhelm you, man

Can I let go? I got something to gain
Retire my bitterness, see the new frame
Rewire my pain, I kept it for years
It's showing up now, withholding my tears
I'm tired of fear convincing my path
I sit back and laugh like what is it now?
My faith in divine is like foot steps on water
I'm making a way somehow
Reality hits like a past due bill
I look at my brother, I can't chase thrills
I look at my nephew, I see God's will
I wink at my man and I see uphill
Over the shoulder
Like what is a chip when my God is removing all boulders?
Never forget what they told you
Your home is a light, I'm a Lone Star solider

My face is serving
My body is giving
It's leaning
