A Matter of Time

Never so them plan it but a we a run the planet Babylon want fi ban it so me stash it inna the bonnet Scent them couldn't stand it, no them couldn't overstand it And them quick fi panic when them see we coming for it Long time now them have it so them relaxed in the habit Asked for it politely but right now we a go grab it Even if you put me with the crabs inna the barrel Shell the whole a dem and them step out a drink me sorrel Reach fi me seat so, see it every season When you are a believer, don't finch for any reason Not now, then when? Not me, then who? Man love talk but refuse to do Well if you seek you find But never you cheat the line Cause it goin' take all of you trying To make something out of your life So whenever you see me shine The blessings that I receive divine And I got to get what's mine It's only a matter of time Only when you prepare shall it appear for you The universe sincere, she taking care of you So if you doing what you can and you going with a plan You have no reason to ever live in fear, do you? 'Cause that's the worse type of living, I can tell you Put you pon a level make you start fi doubt yourself The thoughts about regrets, the what if, the shoulda could I living in the present, that is forever my mood To them, gatekeepers who want keep it closed so Watch me come through and bulldoze you And plotting them down too Naa stop until a rubble in the streets If you nuh want no trouble then nuh bother trouble me Well if you seek you find But never you cheat the line Cause it goin' take all of you trying To make something out of your life So whenever you see me shine The blessings that I receive divine And I got to get what's mine It's only a matter of time Yeah Middle of Mexico at midnight On account of all the things that I did right Many lyrics that I did write Was just insight Who knew these minds it would ignite It looked right from the shift that I did sight I took flight from the spliff that I did light Heights, lyrics and riddim dem a fit right Christ, 'til one get high, coodeh, fist fight Inna battle with all parts of my brain Like the ones that hit, I never thought of again More responsible I said I ought to have been Call the constable or call Hawkeye again And, lawd Diggy, them hang on by a string When man hear dem tune ya, man goin' want buy a tin And watch the talk, man a laugh, I a grin I have been a part of it, start of the thing Well if you seek you find But never you cheat the line Cause it goin' take all of you trying To make something out of your life So whenever you see me shine The blessings that I receive divine And I got to get what's mine It's only a matter of time
