This Time - JL, JL feat. Church Boi

Time

When I touch this subject

It doesn’t rewind

Thankful that mine isn’t up yet

Spend so much of it tryin' make this timeless

I look up and we was big timers

They say

Welcome to Strangeland

Exit the change man

Could’ve been in a casket or paddy wagon with restrained hands

I feel like I’m right at home bro

Findin' my way on the open road

Stressed that I make niggas overload

Every obstacle overthrown

Really gets at us

We only beginnin'

Ain’t got what I want but I’m near it

For years I was tellin' my homies and family

I just need someone to hear it

Wish I was sharin' this moment with my dead

Once I know that Zoo’s here in spirit

Until I’m dead and gone

Or can no longer perform

No stoppin' me, period

Lookin' back I dig the muddy grave of this

I may recall I made it out of there, I’m permanently dedicated

And because of that my creative control

Did it gets excited, every incident was unrelated

No relaxing, I’m only headed out after I know I said it

Would not let it out, I set to elevate it

A distraction, created in the mirrors

The enemy, don’t let it be the reason that you hesitated

I’ve come a long way from that booth in the basement

I made with a mattress

Or the mic in the hallway closet

Hit record, you could hear the door when the track hits

Hope some are on a tracklist, take it somewhere

Ready to go in and grab it backwards

On a high hope that lasts us

When it casts us in the judgemental eyes of the masters

The fact is that it takes time

I’ve been busily tryna make time

Game face cuts this game time

Never have enough to waste time

Hit my momma on the FaceTime

Where we livin' ain’t the same time

Talked to some homies today and one told me

That he almost gave up a week ago

Was a reminder to me to decide to

Count on me more than I even know

One nigga said to me ought to be wanted from me

You so need to be reachable

Called me to talk to somebody

And I could tell that conversation was needed so

Can’t keep on saying I’ll ring hello

Try to respond text messages

Don’t like it, but the impression is

Niggas will fall through the crevices

Connection lost out of negligence

Act like I know I’mma never flinch

And feel like it’s been a few Presidents

How long it’s been?

I’m bad with measurements

Time

Wish I had

Time

Yeah, yeah, oh

Time, time

Time, oh yeah

Oh time

Not enough time, oh

Oh time

Time, time

Oh not enough time

Just a matter of time

Time, time

Talkin' bout time

Time

All time, all time

Yeah

Time, time

Not enough time

Just a matter of time

Time, time, yeah

Time, time
