[Verse 1] I kept my face still even when it stung I learned to hold my tongue like a lit one Mama said, "Son, be kind" even with the weight I smiled through the hard days kept my hands straight [Pre-Chorus] Now the room gets small and the clock gets loud I can hear my name in the folded crowd If I say one truth let it land tonight I did what I could I tried to do right [Chorus] Let this time mean something (let this time mean something) Let this time mean something (let this time mean something) If I was a good man let it show in me If I kept my cool let it set me free [Verse 2] I don't need a crown I don't need a scene Just a clean last page and a breath between I made some mistakes but I faced my share I held the door open I showed up there I never played king I never played saint I just stayed in the ring when my body fainted [Pre-Chorus] Now the room gets small and the clock gets loud I can hear my name in the folded crowd If I say one truth let it land tonight I did what I could I tried to do right [Chorus] Let this time mean something (let this time mean something) Let this time mean something (let this time mean something) If I was a good man let it show in me If I kept my cool let it set me free [Bridge] [DJ Scratch Break] If the door swings shut and the light turns thin I want my last word to begin within Not fear not pride just peace in my chest I gave my best [Final Chorus] Let this time mean something (let this time mean something) Let this time mean something (let this time mean something) If I was a good man let it show in me If I kept my cool let it set me free Let this time mean something (let this time mean something) Let this time mean something (let this time mean something) I was here, I tried and I loved out loud Let my name stay light when they speak it now
