[Intro: Stuart Scott]
Given everything you've been through
When the clock hit triple zeros
What's the first thing that ran through your mind?
[Intro: LeBron James]
Uh... It's about damn time
[Verse 1]
Instead of sleeping and dreaming I'm thinking of rapping, but wrapping
The idea of me landing dramatic... I can barely even fathom
I'm too old for the fairytales and magic, ain't
Noway it's gonna happen I need to stay out of traffic
Every hour I'm rushing with these ideas and plots
Of trashing things that I got and grasping things that I want
But instead, I lay in bed not able to sleep cause I got
What it takes to break the chains cause I'm the key and the lock to the game
Everything that music is certainly missing
Can surely be given now found in what's currently scripted
By this gifted individual you have been picked to listen to
That's listed as giving continuous murderous writtens
But wait, whether it be game 7 or a sweep
I'll laugh in the face of defeat
If you rest on the best be comfortable where you sleep
Cause the king crowns mine for the keep... I'm saying
[Hook]
When the world is in my hand and its at last mine
When they say that I'm the greatest before I flat line
When the titles in my grasp and it's bout that time
I'll just smile and I'll laugh, cause it's bout damn time
When the world is in my hand and its at last mine
When they say that I'm the greatest before I flat line
When the titles in my grasp and it's bout that time
I'll just smile and I'll laugh, cause honestly, it's bout damn time
[Verse 2]
Every night I lay awake cause I feel like I haven't done enough
I, got what it takes but still ain't coming up
Never sleeping or eating so I appear to have a tummy tuck
Cause the fear of failing I'm barely able to stomach but
I'm hella hungry bruh, another minute that pa**
Is another minute I'm gasping, drastically asking for
More minutes happen, cause when you want it as
Bad as eating and breathing your dream is certain for grasping
Even back when, I started rapping, my heart was missing like the
Man Tin, no actin', I'm guessing that's when a spark for
Fashion with art and pa**ion would bleed and leak out of this
Black pen, but my beliefs were absent, so I call
Hello God?... I'm in need of a blessing
"I'm currently not available so please leave a message"
It's just that, I guess that, I need to proceed and
Stop with the questioning, I'm guessing, that's...
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Imagine everybody saying that you'll go far
Yeah your raps are real phat man they go hard
A couple of people I graduated with
Said the next time they wanna see me, is on a TV
Sheesh... it's stressful when they have high hopes, like
Wishful thinking upon a tight rope, like
Ain't no way that somebody with a talent like that
Would have to go and give it right back cause he got knocked
Down and he fell, and he failed, but that's
Not the story I'm trying to tell, I been to
Hell and back, but where the hell is back?
All I see is the future like the Dungeon Fam
Stacking racks and bouncing these reality checks
Ducking 5-0's like a hundred grand
Let me check my math, yep, one mistake
I meant I keep it 100 cause lately I been frank (Ben Frank)
When it comes to education, man don't even partially
Start with me, I got my a**ociates in arts degree
Like, what'll that do? all I did was study broadly
Still, but, yet, it make'd me more smartly, wait
I could be an aerospace technician
Give all the planes the same jet fixing
I mean, they make about 87 thousand a year
Instead of performing for 87 crowds in a year
Ha, nah, that ain't right, I been
Struggling way too hard, and I been
Hustling for way to long to call it quits tonight
And exit stage right so despite all the
B.S. I been through - P.S. I went through
Trials and tribulations like the Trayvon jury - I'm still a
Warrior, no play on Curry, with a golden state of mind
These moments I'll make them mine, like
[Hook]
[Outro]
I'll smile, and I'll laugh...
Cause it's bout damn time...
It's bout damn time...
