Hourglass
Lyrics
Yo
Eyes wide when the day's done
Stay dry when the rain comes
I was running outta time
Till I broke the hourglass
And the grains of sand fell out
And I gained some
Man I do this for my day ones
Can't wait till my day comes
Till then my time's limited
They gon’ say your guilty until you’re shown innocent
No strings attached, a lie so intimate
Most of them don't value time and stay killin it
I guess in that way i play different
To everyone tryna get money to feel planted
Ha in my opinion it's funny
How the little time we borrow
We still take for granted
Yeah
So I start by taking chances
And then I throw up prayers
I'm aiming for an advantage
Perception blurred they're saying I waste time
But how can you wear glasses and say that my visions slanted?
Man the blind lead the blind
Cos if you don't understand, I suggest you rewind that
Real MC tell me where would you find that?
Real MC tell me how'd you define that?
Probably when you rhyme like me when you rhyme that
They saying I'm so lyrical
The feeling that you feeling right now is so spiritual
Bars like this and I ain't even at my pinnacle no
I just heard this through the grapevine
Hourglass, non existent waistline
Timeless we grooving wit the bass line
Times like these that I'm keeping so sacred
Rhymes like these, got rappers still hating
Memories of your name are still fading
Turbulence in my brain I’m still shaking
My sincerest apologies if I'm mistaken
But I'm sure that you were stunting for the Instagram
Damn
But I ain't into social media it's killer
I ain't the type of guy to sign up for Twitter
So you can miss me with the gossip
Not only is it sin, but I ain't a fan of vomit
I been reaping what I sow
So I continue to plant, just praying that I blossom
Into something synonymous with flawless
But the flow stays ill, be cautious
It’s a straight plague every time I record this
What's next? Now I'm looking at the Forbes' list
I move weight you should probably get a forklift
For all this food for thought imma let you absorb this
I married the game you divorced it
You didn’t get the wordplay over anyone
At half time I already won
Hourglass running out of time
But you da runner up
Straight savage but two years from 21
Uh, add 3 more till it's 24, I
Mastered the 8 off a 24
In other words, take your time to do the math
Straight bars man you can’t ignore
I'm just tryna seize the day carpe diem
Understand it was me I first had to believe in
Still they can't see me on the pedestal, it's way too incredible
And the hourglass time’s tryna leave him
But no it can't leave him
Like these clones can’t see him
Invisible to the hate and now they really need him
Look at them screaming, cos times running out
Yo
Eyes wide when the day's done
Stay dry when the rain comes
I was running outta time
Till I broke the hourglass
And the grains of sand fell out
And I gained some
Yeah
Eyes wide now my day's done
Stay dry when the rain's come
I've just run out of time
Till God broke the hourglass
Gave me eternal life
What u saying son?
What you saying son?
Yo
Eyes wide when the day's done
Stay dry when the rain comes
I was running outta time
Till I broke the hourglass
And the grains of sand fell out
And I gained some
Man I do this for my day ones
Can't wait till my day comes
Till then my time's limited
They gon’ say your guilty until you’re shown innocent
No strings attached, a lie so intimate
