Thomas Austin - Time Expiring Lyrics

The problem is you think you have ti-
You know it ain't all about me
Sometimes it's more about the message than the messenger
You know
Gotta put that first
God first
Family first
Words from the wise you know
I heard they was pricing me up
The flow is so hot off the shelf
They scanning it in
Then bagging it up
I did everything that they say make you happy or fun
It didn't add up
I did all the drinking and smoking and sleeping 'round then
Just to get what?
Soul empty
Better be lucky that I changed
God told me spare you all
Old habits I done buried em all
Too addicted to my own ambition
Couldn't sleep like a bad dream
Didn't really wanna share the scene
Now I gotta go and lead a team
How ironic
The thing about running from purpose is
It can bless you or it can haunt you
I would know
You feeling the energy
It's up in the air it's not just smoke
Don't turn to the enemy
I dare I dare you
I dare you to
I'm daring em all
I plan to win
But I'm prepared for it all
Meaning I ain't scared to lay it all on the line
Worst thing you can do is think you got time
Watch on a wrist
Clock on a wall
I'm clocking in now
Ain't no clocking me off
One thing time never did was wait on no man
You better off getting out the way in advance
I can't wait around no more
Eviction on the door
I can't even get inspired with the lyrics that they wrote
They just out here checking boxes
They ain't going toe to toe
Timer on they run expired
Barely hanging by the rope
I promise my pride ain't winning
I don't even write
This what God is penning
No point in you trying to compete with me
I know that might come off as condescending
The heights that I reach
It might be too hard to believe that come from humble beginnings
I been on both sides of the fences
And I been so deep in that water
The shark wouldn't even try to come swimming with me
Ain't no depth I ain't willing to go if it's God who telling me I gotta lead
In the back of my mind thinking I gotta leave cause they leading more in the dark
So I turned to the light
Friends see that you going down paths that ain't right
They won't put a fight
And that's the issue like a magazine
Even bonds thick as Vaseline
Everybody say they happy to see that you winning till you pass em up in rings
Even when they chose to leave the team
Talking bout they was mad at their role
Think we 'posed to treat you like you the king cause you moved to LA in '23
Get serious
It's 9 on the dot like a period
They begging for change
And I'm steering it
The moment is here and they fearing it
Cause their run is
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Man I swear -
Watch on a wrist
Clock on a wall
I'm clocking in now
Ain't no clocking me off
One thing time never did was wait on no man
You better off getting out the way in advance
I can't wait around no more
Eviction on the door
I can't even get inspired with the lyrics that they wrote
They just out here checking boxes
They ain't going toe to toe
Timer on they run expired
Barely hanging by the rope
