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 f*ck 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 f*ck 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, f*ck 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 F*ck 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
