My Time

The alternate route is a long one
 But ultimately, in the end, it gets you to the same exact destination
 Yes sir, the journey's been long
 And the wins have been short
 But today, none of that matters
 The time is now, zoom, get close
 The ego is gone, the room is for growth
 But talent is there, the feeling is new
 I mean, bottom is gone but the ceiling is too
 I was higher than Whitney, headed toward the top again
 Everything I write crack, like its with a Bobby pen
 But it's more than what you hear in a song
 The wings are extended, the fear is gone
 Hold up, the clips are loaded, safety is off
 The business is in the black, I ain't taking a loss
 Hold up, standards are high, hoes never hold out
 The touring is cool, the shows always sold out
 The foes are mad, but fuck it no one else cares
 The kicks are custom, you'll never see em elsewhere
 The stakes are high, the risk is crucial
 And they love to hate me, but I love it when they do too
 I've been waiting here for so long
 Gotta take what's mine
 Since time will never wait
 Who am I stand up fate?
 It's my time, it's my time, it's my time
 Look, I've been hurt, I could pull up scars
 Now the earth is my pull up bar
 The journey was long, the roads were slim
 Though I thank God today, I probably owe it to sin
 Streets were hungry, I was torn apart
 Even though them jails were cold, they warmed my heart
 Was living the worst, but prayed for the best
 Ain't have a thing given to me, had to rape success
 Had to be used for approval, had to use whatever was useful
 Had to act old even when youthful
 Money don't make me, that ain't what I kill for
 Cause I was richer than I'd ever been, and was still poor
 Some never thought he would propel
 Some talked to me just to speak to themselves
 Some broke their arm, all while reaching for wealth
 So when you come into the game, make sure you leave with yourself
 I've been waiting here for so long
 Gotta take what's mine
 Since time will never wait
 Who am I stand up fate?
 It's my time, it's my time, it's my time
 We all got demons, a few I rivaled
 Looked em in the eye, and they became suicidal
 They thought it couldn't happen, they were too prideful
 His head's an ornament on the wall as proof I survived you
 Bills were high, money was low
 Strip club was popping, wasn't money to go
 Going nowhere fast, but drugs was a one stop
 Couldn't shine selling that tan, I had my son blocked
 Now I'm on acres, in a house, with a loft
 The women are foreign, their blouses are off
 It's a whole new me, I redefined my style
 And since yesterday's gone, I guess the time is now
 I've been waiting here for so long
 Gotta take what's mine
 Since time will never wait
 Who am I stand up fate?
 It's my time, it's my time, it's my time
