I swear we're living in some dark times

Where all they know is murder and they tell lies

Worried about the things that don't even really matter

Swear I'm feeling like I grew up in the wrong times

Is it love that you want or is it good times?

I want both but it seems you gotta pick sides

Everybody feel the pain but wanna break another heart

So they can try and bring them right on to the same side

Where the cold hearts lay stuck with no light

And the kids roam lost while the souls fight

Just to try to stay pure cause the only other option

That they have is running right down where the souls die

In the streets they start picking up them dope ties

And that money feel good, I ain't gon’ lie

But the path that you take and the changes that you make

Along the way gon' turn your heart into some cold ice

I just need time right now

To figure out the things that I don't know

I just need time right now

So I can go and do this on my own

I just need time right now

To fight these demons all up in my zone

I just need time right now

I just need time right now

I just need time to figure out my purpose

when I get stuck in my head I talk to God and pray it’s working

In the streets that we call home every night theres demons lurking

Pretty girls will leave you with a heart that's full of hurt

And then what's gonna happen next when you start feeling worthless

And you start to feel deserted like they did it all on purpose

They throw your name in the dirt and you can't get up off the surface

I just roll another leaf i spark the flame and then i burn it

Swear i'm married to the pain

Please don't be concerned

i got demons in my brain

Tryna to spread the word

Tryna to do this for the youth and trying some life for them to learn

Not to follow in the footsteps of generational curse

Not to look for easy money cause it always comes with worse

We done lost too many soldiers had to put them in a hearse

Cause the life we know today is take our chances or get worse

So before i leave i pray that i'ma make it home from work

And i put diamonds in my chain to show them what i'm worth

While they were trying to party i was tryna put in work

I cannot be going backwards i don't like to drive reverse

I can't go back to them days i need time to make it work

I need time to make it work

I need you to hear my words

I’ve been out here on a mission if you listen to the verse

I’m just trying to spread the word and tryna show them what they're worth

You don't wanna walk the road it's gonna end up full of burns

I just need time right now

To figure out the things that i don't know

I just need time right now

So i can go and do this on my own

I just need time right now

To fight these demons all up in my zone

I just need time right now

I just need time right now
