At the ripe age of 24, I done seen it all, done it all

Some dreams stay fresh and some must fall

Dealin' with time, winter, spring, summer, fall

It's crazy changes, it's hits that made me famous

I come a long way from Timbs, minimum wages

Stocking caps, summer jobs, pockets flat

It's funny how my childhood idols now be coppin' crack

I ain't knockin' that, unfortunately

Life's too short to see, it's only right we move accordingly

At every second, I used to carry heavy weapons

Previously cocked, tucked in my shirt, for every session

But hold up, the 2-to-6 bid made me grow up

Came home to the same damn dreams with no luck

And half the clique's strong, the other half moved on

Some with new lives and new wives, **** live long

The foulest thing about time, it still ticks when you gone

For those who live the way that I live

We came a long way from wipin' coal out of eyelids

To rap's hottest, smokin' lye lit the track goddess

'Member back then before MAC-10's, expensive bottles

Had a sick mind, **** taught me how to get mine

We'd often sip quarts, they get tossed at the spit line

To all **** that the Lord seemed to dip for they time

While we plan to live forev', he had a different design

Is it safe to say, we all perish on a sacred day?

With my luck, soon as I reach the gate they make me pay

Pray, minutes go by, indigo high

The specialist, decked out, dark specs, finessin' it

Used to play catch and kiss, same girls back then now

Leave us messages, a whole lot

Travel to my old spot, where we sold rock, although it's trifle

Ain't nothin' changed, just like time, it's all a cycle

Yo, wake up to the world, stay in charge of your dreams

Keep your vision focused, get wise, enlargin' your cream

Marketing schemes, so many in the dark is unseen

Caught in between, perhaps rap was the fortunate thing

Forced to be keen from hustlin', supportin' them fiends

Bustin' guns, I had no remorse as a teen

Rockin' birthstones, my first little bid, nursed the dome

It hurts the zone, now I realize I'm on this Earth alone

Time ticks, devilish minds design trips

Leave you blind quick and cause you to die behind shit

Mathematics, master 120, I'm Asiatic

Amazed with magic 'cause it's illusions that made me savage

Life change once you establish the right game

Love the night rain, found a new way to fight pain

Clocks never stop, it's all a race to the top

Tryin' to freeze time, that's why I ice the face on my watch
