TURN BACK THE CLOCK

Lately feel like only thing I can trust is the time Past and present and the future know that they gon' never cease to pass me by But even sometimes that'll let me down Feel like time tryna haggle with me now I'm 19 turn the clock in exchange for a dream And they talking that the Glock gon' bang to the beat But the people keep talking' I'm takin' a seat Let the world pass by When I tell 'em that I rap then the girls ask why But I can't even explain, I'm still makin' songs in the dorm Goin somewhere, friends playin pong in the dorm And I'm building me a life that I always dreamed of Friends around me that are calling' me tough Improvising cut out all the weak stuff Recognition never gon' be enough Recognition never gon' be enough (Recognition never gon' be enough) It's been a year now they showing' me love But I don't think I'm the one to lead us The beats and I, nothing gets between us Turn on the song friends are saying, "Jesus!" But I ain't a savior Now they lookin' I'm minding behavior No time to be neighborly I got some people who eyeing' me faithfully Say what you say what you tryin' to say to me Say what you say what you tryin' to say to me Say what you say what you tryin' to say to me They just be driving' me crazily Uh, no one gon change what I'm doin' this music is true to me Whether you wanna respect or admire or hate on me I just been tired of make believe I just been trying to make it I just been trying to make it I just been trying to make it I just been trying to make it I just been tryin, tryin, tryin, tryin, tryin I just been tryin, tryin, tryin, tryin, tryin I just been tryin, tryin, tryin, tryin I just been trying to make it I just been trying to make it I just been trying to make it Lately feel like only thing I can trust is the time Past and present and the future know that they gon' never cease to pass me by But even sometimes that'll let me down Feel like time tryna haggle with me now I'm 19 turn the clock in exchange for a dream And they talking that the Glock gon' bang to the beat But the people keep talking' I'm takin' a seat (keep talking I'm taking a seat) (perspective)
