[Intro] [Sample] And I know what time it is [Guilty Simpson] Yo, this joint right here Is dedicated to wisdom, you know what I'm sayin'? A lot of these young cats think they know it all I doubt that Yeah, check it, yo [Verse 1: Guilty Simpson] I've been around for a minute It's like I saw it all and now I finally get it Wisdom achieved and doing what I believe And I plan to do more before I'm finished One goal met, another set, it's never enough And when all's done, I'm saddling up I'm living the life, out of mind, out of sight Out of spite, naysayers try messin' it up But I'm a man, free fallin' from the heights of unreachable plans But I won cause I took a chance So when I land, I'll never have to hold regret And I earn respect for who I am Now that's real, realer than a rap deal I saw many cats lose it, all for this music Yeah I'm thinkin, "How would that feel?" God gave you this gift so use it, come on [Hook] [Sample] And I know what time it is [Guilty Simpson] You can't tell me nothing, now listen up I'm tryin' to tell you something, come on [Sample] And I know what time it is [Guilty Simpson] You can't tell me nothing, now listen up, listen up [Verse 2: Guilty Simpson] Yo, I had a need for more, so my ceiling became my floor For every one shut, I noticed a door Opportunity let me in when the rain poured, I'm thankful Yeah, I used to be hateful and ungrateful But now I'm doing tours, I had to let go And accept the fate chosen, enjoy the moment And what's in store, I'm still here Many predicted I'd be k**ed here Shot up hood, I knock on wood Because the strongest brother I know is in a wheel chair And some days are not so good But a day above ground is never the worst So a new one begins with thankin' Him first The never ending story told by a unique soul What real life say, in a verse, come on [Hook] Yeah, the never ending story Not totally written yet Still determining my path Peace to Apollo Brown
