In My Time

It was a cold morning, gloomy, sun barely shining
Figured it was gon' rain today, so I'm in
Sit around the house until the thunder storms slacks off
Look at my nightstand and pick the paper back up

Nostradamus, I'm readin' chapter, after chapter
Predictions of the end of world, and after
Life, wit' no beginning, as the world stops spinning
[Unverified] as a journey that's never ending

I glance at my baby boy, I can see this in his eyes
The little nigga glad to be alive
And as the days go by, I thank God for watchin' mines
Prayin' that I remained in fire

The same man that I was, which starts from the other mind phrase
Was it the cash I think my time came
For me to venture off into different dimensions
The beginning, the ending, of my time

What we fail to realize
Is that we runnin' outta time
Do we ever be born again
In my time of dying
It's like I'm runnin' outta time
Will I ever be born again

In my time, I try to stay true steps on the game
And if you niggas thinkin' like me, do the same
Which is one minute ya smilin', the next ya start cryin'
'Cause we can't accept we born to die

And I, ease my edge, and be a nigga to the end
But it's more to life then me and my Benz
When my mama told to speak to my friends
I kinda took that shit to heart

So don't fuck up your life, 'fore it starts
Some niggas wanna be like Mike
I'd rather be like Christ so at the end, I'll see bright lights
(Like Christ, bright lights)
I save a prayer for the fallen soldiers

Too many niggas died young, for tryna to hang
On the slaims of our slums
And outcome, as mommy kneels, sittin' on the front row
Hopin' God will accept your soul

The new millennium, and as I sit watch the distance
Ships walk the horizon, I'll stare into space while I'm drivin'
And pray for me, all the ends of my sins
The beginning, the end, of my time, till I'm born again

What we fail to realize
Is that we runnin' outta time
Do we ever be born again
In my time of dying
It's like I'm runnin' outta time
Will I ever be born again

In my time, I've seen life born, and I been blessed
Enough to see life lose, it's just the price life cost
And shortly, explain my born, I know I'm born to do it wrong
So when I'm gone, life goes on

Tell my mother, when she on the front row, hold her head up
Shed no tears, and dread those years
Smile, and even though my whole life's been a po' ball
You did yours, and it's not your fault

Tell my grandmother those words too
She knows I'm headed to a better place
That'll put a smile on my wife's face
God's graced the evil spirit that surrounded me

And pass me, and anytime it could a had me
But when it all went wrong, sung the same ol' song
Now it's peace after the storm blew on
And [unverified], it's the better life, security for yours and mines

What the evil lies, and not so guide
In my time, it's been times, I would've stopped and called the quits
But I might as well sit until it's over wit'
Earth to earth, and ashes to ashes, dust to dust
It's the Lord I trust

The territory where I come from, so I guess it'll be when I return
No sorrow, it was just my turn
And in those, last trumpet sounds, put me down in the ground
But I'll probably be at home by now

And it's help will change
(These helps will be changed)
Blinking of a eye, but I don't think I'll get to see that
In my time, till I'm born again

It's changed, when we born and how we born from woman
We born, from the spirit, of life and all our flesh remains
And not, by the flesh of man and not by the flesh of man
Do not believe that

What we fail to realize
Is that we runnin' outta time
Do we ever be born again
In my time of dying
It's like I'm runnin' outta time
Will I ever be born again

What we fail to realize
Is that we runnin' outta time
Do we ever be born again
In my time of dying
It's like I'm runnin' outta time
Will I ever be born again

What we fail to realize
Is that we runnin' outta time
Do we ever be born again
In my time of dying
It's like I'm runnin' outta time
Will I ever be born again
