[Intro] I thought I just got here Turns out I been trading my whole life [Verse 1] Twenty an hour Thirty on a good day Selling off a Tuesday Just to keep the bills paid Miles on the dash Hours disappearing Never knew the thing I spent Was the thing worth keeping I was trading time for pennies Calling that the price Never asked who made the market On the hours of my life [Pre-Chorus] Then the screen lit up And something looked familiar Wait for the pattern Don't chase what isn't clear Know where you're wrong Before you ever enter Funny how the market Started teaching me me [Chorus] I was already trading I just had the asset wrong Selling pieces of my lifetime For a number all along Now I watch Now I wait I don't move just 'cause I can Find the entry Know the exit Let the pattern show its hand I was already trading I just didn't know my worth [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Had to learn the charts Had to learn myself Turns out fear and greed Ain't only in the market Feel emotion shift Secure it Walk away What I learned outside the candles Changed the way I trade Every loss can hold a lesson Every win can hold a trap If you don't know when to leave it You can give the whole thing back So I sharpened what was missing Not prediction Discipline I don't need to catch forever I just need to know my window [Pre-Chorus] See the pattern Respect the line Money isn't all that's moving I'm reclaiming time [Chorus] I was already trading I just had the asset wrong Selling pieces of my lifetime For a number all along Now I watch Now I wait I don't move just 'cause I can Find the entry Know the exit Let the pattern show its hand I was already trading I just didn't know my worth [Long Instrumental] [Bridge] Maybe freedom isn't money Maybe money buys back time Maybe time becomes the freedom When you finally make it mine More time to build More time to learn More time with the ones I love More time to become These aren't just dreams They're directions Built in choices Built in lessons No straight line No guarantee Just a door I couldn't see And beyond it— Room [Instrumental Expansion] [Final Chorus] I was already trading Before I ever saw a chart Every hour was an asset I was selling it too cheap Now I learn Now I build Now I know what time can yield Know the entry Know the exit Know when nothing is the move I was already trading Now I choose what I trade for [Outro] Time That was always the currency Time That was always the freedom I thought I entered a new world Maybe I just learned what I'd been trading all along
