When the Time Comes (feat. Brittany West)

The chips on my shoulders grew into wings Who knew it, I've grown bolder by not feeling a thing Except that fire in my soul that turns sweat into gold And I'll turn it on, when the time comes Yeah Bein' taught will benefit you more than bein' told Money shows but never bank on happiness from dough Life is cold and uphill, it’s time to hit the slopes Don’t push away unless you plan on doin' life alone God is knitting with tickin' time, that’s what made me Drop a single, they love it, I got a couple hating No deficit in my work, attention better pay me Life is changing Keep takin' shots, it don’t faze me I got a clan, forget a gamer tag, I know 'em like the back of my hand I’m on top, the game won’t understand They're boxing me in, I’m hoppin' the fence Little me, livin' immense, makin' amends, forget offense Defendin' my next mission, impossible you’ll miss it Too positive I’m killin' 2020, I envision it Savin' the dates and takin' estate You might've made a mistake, waiting on fate, while you waste away The chips on my shoulders grew into wings Who knew it, I've grown bolder by not feeling a thing Except that fire in my soul that turns sweat into gold And I'll turn it on, when the time comes Yeah I dispatch attacks on negative vibes, drainin' my life I need to jump the positive side Climb in the mind, sky dive into these rhymes Plain to see that you can’t even catch 'em on the fly Forget a strike, I’m fillin' up my plate Always stayin' hungry, I crave what’s at stake I’ve always been a little tender at heart, but I’m makin' pace You want a way to weed out the fakes? Be in need, they’re gone without a trace They wanna take me down a path, I don’t participate I’m takin' up a better state of mind to walk in faith No feelin' vacant like an empty space You can vacate, but that will only patch the pain that’s tucked away Buried in cold, a heart made of gold, Just might divide from the soul, and scald to the bone marrow Leave me alone The thing I need most is hope 'n growth They didn’t know, I bet on my life, it better not fold I got a flow that they can’t taste Followed by a time frame that I can’t waste Yup I’m growin' in the weeds, I ain’t baked Nah For granted is somethin' I hope I’d never take They say the longer you wait the longer it takes I’ll accept a real apology and pass if it’s fake Y’all are dreamin' all night, mine starts when I wake No one’s given a ribbon for kickin' it with the pillow 'n case Woo Is it work, or am I dealin' with fate God has given too much to not appreciate Life’s a wager, but death is paid You can’t escape without the debt you made, no debate I’ll fall twice then get up and double down Surround yourself with people that move in silence No sound Bein' accepted isn’t key when it comes to a crowd Lock me up cause I’ll swing back when pushed around Fight for what you know is right not what they wanna see We get too caught up in the past not what is currently Pay attention for a second, forget currency When everything is said and done, what is your legacy See growin' up I thought I truly understood it Life is classified a teacher, I’m the student Learning what I can on my path, I keep movin' Life’s a hike, let 'em talk, they’re lost Me is what I’m doin' It’s difficult to build up when they’re tearin' you down It’s hard to speak your mind when they don’t hear a sound Yeah In life you gotta learn to let go Finding your identity in someone else will leave you broke I’ve had the feeling of too many not havin' my back You thought you had forever, now it’s a thing of the past My heart is ready and I’m fully packed I’m mentally equipped for a trip, and I ain’t turnin' back The chips on my shoulders grew into wings Who knew it, I've grown bolder by not feeling a thing Except that fire in my soul that turns sweat into gold And I'll turn it on, when the time comes
