"Time Slips" lyrics

Yeah, yeah
It's the first time somebody will ever say this on a rap song
But can you turn me down?
Turn me down in the headphones, yeah

Time be slipping on me, like
Now my wrist could fit a Roley twice
Day and the date, Presi' bracelets
Diamonds on the face, Lil Uzi Vert
Diamonds in my pain, I found my worth
Colliding with my faith when I'm of service
A young Sage was shy and rather nervous
I couldn't say goodbye, ain't have the courage
I found me in a bind, desire lurking
My goal is to inspire every person
To be they best selves and find they purpose
Don't throw it on the shelf, just get to working
"Slow and steady win the race," They say
It's power within every step we take
Patient, I be moving at my pace
Gracious like the undulation on the lake
I couldn't fake it, I'ma tell the truth
Depression was the birth of Navy Blue
My message is to serve a greater you
The transmutation of my hurt is now of use
I had to shine a light on my abuse
I'm living life for Michael and my youth
I would gripe and stifle my amusement
I don't like when mama make excuses
She own it, I say, "Teach me how to do it"
Mama hears my heart, she speaking to it
Papa in my heart, he speaking through it
My arc will end and start complete a movement

I'll follow, I'll follow you home
If I got a problem, I know that I can solve it with truth
No, I can't wallow
Better just to swallow my pride
Found me in the gallows
I accept my whole shadow side
Baby, I'll follow, I'll follow you home
If I got a problem, I know that I can solve it with truth
No, I can't wallow
Better just to swallow my pride
Found me in the gallows
I accept my whole shadow side
