Heads of State - It's The Time lyrics

[Verse 1:Mdusu] How many times has someone's advice lead you to sh** Some motherf**er chucking their two cents in your biz When all the best of good intentions and such were there No matter how much they cared, still lead to f**ed affairs Compa** bearings unreadable, from magnetic dramas I've had, plenty of harshness from the back-end of karma Just like everyone else, I'm always wrecking myself And then mending myself again with whatever's left on the shelf But that's life. Sometimes it s**s, but that's fine When they trow mud in my eye, just makes me more hungry for mine Use my own blood for line in the sand that's been drawn Separating the cheap who*es from players who keep __ And the haters can keep score and watch me strive for mine Write my rhymes, not get stuck in the rutted nine-to-five Keep climbing high, eye on the prize when I'm rocking gigs And you can hate me all you want, but you can't stop me for sh** [Hook x2] It's the time when you ignore sense and follow your guts It's the time when you decide what tomorrow becomes It's the time when you stop listening to what people can say It's the time when you say "f** it" and leave anyway [Verse 2:Dunn D] Remember way back then, when people doubted what you were doin' Maybe times there when you doubted yourself and wanted to throw the shoe in When people laughed at you, for what you were pursuing __ and there's probably a time when you thought your life could have a way of ruining But it's time like that, when you get up and dust yourself off Assess what it's cost, but don't confess that you've lost It's a time like that, when I felt I couldn't be buggered Thought I was tired as sh**, thought the road looked to rugged But it's a time like that, when I stand against the current I choose to strive on, time when I choose to ??gunning?? Target and locked, stick with what I'm at ?then barter the ___?? I grab my pen and write another track rather than stop Harness the lot, and don't let criticism sting ya Cause if you take heart to a hater, say you'll never be a winner You'll just be a beginner, show some pride and keep your chin up Never give up, because it's your time to shine and glimmer [Hook x2] [Sample] Every now and then my friend, comes a time just before the end No need for contemplating or debating, straight down the line wasting time Every now and then Just before the end Every now and then Just before the end [Verse 3:Mdusu] Buddy i've lived and grown through more sh** than mushrooms Been shived up, cut, bruised and hit with "f** You"s Shoved through the crisis to the crap my life is Sometimes with the help of my friends, sometimes despite it Just ride the bull, tame the beast for eight seconds Every type of fool, taste defeat like playing Tekken But it's there to to be won, Aces, pairs and sweet runs I'll get my share of each one, no matter how carelessly done [Verse 3 cont.:Dunn D] Some say it's hard coping with the struggles of life And some have it way worse than me, so I can argue in that fight That in light of that, I have my own personal dealing with And how you can get fed up sometimes, when you're feeling sh** Hearing this, coming from my own experience If you veer off the road, try to steer back in the clear again Don't fear your dreams, follow them, never let'em fall to the side Keep'em near it seems, cause you'll never know if you don't try [Hook x2]
