Different Time

On a different time, don't nobody work like I am
60 seconds in a minute, but I get more with mine
16 bars in a verse, but my shit lasts forever
Nothing like the feeling when it start to come together

Early morning, I'm determined, all this fuel, I got need burning
Hit the gas, play the loop, and my mind just keep on turning
That's the formula, this wake me up like Folger cup
6 AM, I'm in the lab, and this ain't science class
But they gon' study how I left it all in all these raps
And ain't it funny, it's so different how we see the past
Say you love me, we both know that that could never last
But say you love me, just say you love me
I need it all, I'll take it, I've been broken, jaded
Now I'm broke and faded, bill collectors waitin
I rap about this money that I dream of making
But truthfully, my favorite thing is inspiration

On a different time, don't nobody work like I am
60 seconds in a minute, but I get more with mine
16 bars in a verse, but my shit lasts forever
Nothing like the feeling when it start to come together

Discipline and drive, but there ain't no finish line
The feeling is divine when it's working by design
But that don't come without the moment staring at the sky
Mind is empty and you think you ain't got shit to write
Well sit your ass where you think your heart should really be
The hours pass while you wait to be inspired, see
The war of art can only start if you on battlefield
A metaphor to make you get up off your ass for real
I always said if the shoe fits, I'ma wear that shit
So when I listen back, I'll know if I fell off a bit
All these testimonies over instrumentals, it
Feel like the spirit coming through me, this some holy shit

On a different time, don't nobody work like I am
60 seconds in a minute, but I get more with mine
16 bars in a verse, but my shit lasts forever
Nothing like the feeling when it start to come together
