[Verse 1: Kid Kern] You ready? Adlib (Kid Kern) Uh, so raise your gla**es, despite the lack of love We made it happen bruh I want this playing at the parties too Early flights in the AM it's a starry view Best friend is always moving states Used to often now it's rare that we communicate Sh*t is hard, cut a couple homies off and that sh*t it left me scarred But I'm working, so every city that we go we get it popping Get rich or die trying there's no better option Old girl calling, new girl missing Want my closest homie back, but our worlds different Whole family is going through depression And I've got to save my team because I know that they've been stressing That's the way it goes, staying close until we're making dough Looking for an answer and I promise I ain't taking no [Hook: Kid Kern] And I've been working for a long time, long time, long time Talking grind, I've been on mine, on mine, on mine Been through a lot of misery so I'm often stressing, please God be with me See I've got to get it, when I'm stopping, never But that Clock Keeps Ticking [Verse 2: Kid Kern] Uh, my bro called me, said my last sh*t wack I'm going harder now Always rode the bench but best believe that I'm a starter now Matter of fact I'm f*cking Jordan to these h*es, drinking 40s with my bros Here's the story I ain't told This the come up, right now I'm addressing sh*t I've never said I done played played shows for two people, lost hella bread Manager is always fronting me this cash Buy more tickets than we sell, and that's why I never brag I'm just waiting, on the day we're on and overpaid All these other up and comers way too shy to go on stage Yet they try to knock my hustle it's a God d*mn shame Dawg, if you ain't spreading love you'll end up nowhere in this game, and I'm ashamed To keep it one-hundred I've been an *sshole, deleting people's numbers yet I save them in my trap phone I lost me and threw shade at all my friends Just because a girl broke my heart I took my anger out them Listen, I've got some issues I've been working on Just pray to God that you hear this song I'd apologize in person, but You'll find more meaning in these verses cous And I ain't looking for no sympathy Just kind of wish I did it differently But all that matters is that God keeps listening Forever working harder because that Clock Keeps Ticking I'm ghost [Hook: Kid Kern with vocal accompaniment from Kelsey Wynn] And I've been working for a long time, long time, long time Talking grind, I've been on mine, on mine, on mine Been through a lot of misery so I'm often stressing, please God be with me See I've got to get it, when I'm stopping, never But that Clock Keeps Ticking
