Only Just a Matter of Time

Intro
"And the time comes for you to be your own man and take on the world... And you did... But somewhere along the line... you changed, you stopped being you...You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow... Let me tell you something you already know... The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows... It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it... You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life, BUT IT AIN'T ABOUT HOW HARD YOU HIT, IT'S ABOUT HOW HARD YOU CAN GET HIT AND KEEP MOVING FORWARD... HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE AND KEEP MOVING FORWARD... That's how winning is done. Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth but you've got to be willing to take the hits... And not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you want to be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you! YOU'RE BETTER THAN THAT!" – (Rocky Balboa)


Verse One
Yo, don’t get mad cos I brought this back, it’s rock solid like a tortoise back / yo I’m tired of this bitch like I’m trying to give your daughter back / but I meant the whole world, take your orders back I’m too disobedient / I’m sick of the rules in this world and I disagree with them / They tell us anything and we so quickly believing it, like fucking Illuminati what am I a human hobby? / A plaything? The main things I’m breathing and I’ma try and keep it that way until God throws me a leaving party, inviting everybody / so call your Friends, your Cousins, your Daughters, your Sons, your Parents and your Lovers, your Ex’s / it’s less expensive to live your life with your eyes closed but with all five senses I’ma walk through the valley of the shadow of death, where every steps an un-cowardly step and every breaths an un-cowardly breath / never forget how much power we rep, cos when life gets harder, can you afford a baby father drama? And have you got the time to even care if Bush is really team Osama? With too much time on your hands, how you gonna have aspiring plans? / And a dream that's much bigger than just time and a half? / My bare hands I rip a lion in half, that’s just a figure of speech and I ain’t trying to count up all the figures I reach / if this touches one person I’m as happy as peach / I had to take time out but now I’m back on these beats / trying hard as fuck to put a message back on these streets / but I ain’t no politician I just happen to speak / so if life ain’t everything you want it to be, you just living in a moment that is made up of components / and no I can’t promise you when things will be fine but the difference between there and here is just time...



Chorus
And it’s only just a matter of time /when everything eventually will be fine / don’t let the world get in your way make you blind with everything that’s going on in your mind / you gotta get up and take it back to the grind / don't let em’ try and take away from your shine / it’s a matter of time, it’s just a matter of time / it’s matter of time, it’s just a matter of time


Verse Two
Yo we too quick to judge, and too slow to love and you showing them what’s underneath, when the only thing consuming you is a YouTube beef / that’s shallow, that’s so narrow, that’s so baby and his rattle / a cheap shot with a plastic arrow / skedaddle and come outta my face with that nonsense / homie we ain’t got nothing in common not even common sense / wise up or forever pick them fries up / and I ain’t trying to make a fool of nobody, I’m just stating the facts / you can live your life blessed or you can live it just wack / you can live it going forward, stand still or go back / yo but I prefer the first option, so I put my mentality up for adoption, so you can turn the lights out but I'ma keep watching / and its not like I found my way but when I speak it’s obvious my mouth found my brain / I blow smoke into the faces of them shit talkers, cos when they speaking yo I find it just a bit awkward to listen, and keep a straight face, yo we should change places and let me run this shit / with your testosterone talk when showing your tits / I didn’t think for one minute yo that this could be it / my whole life as a puppet on piece of string, being a monkey with an organ grinder doing his thing / that’s not living that’s like sleep walking and I’ma tell the rest like a beat orphan, lose the percussion / and you can listen to my words don't have to trust em’ cos all I really wanna do is open a discussion, that life may not be what you want it to be / you just living in a moment that is made up of components / and no I can’t promise you when things will be fine but the difference between there and here is just time...
