Time Did The Talking (Dead Ducks)

[Intro] I let time do the talking I stayed in my lane [Chorus] I let time do the talking I stayed in my lane They were loud with opinions I was busy with days I let time do the talking No rush, no race If persistence got a voice That’s the sound it makes [Verse 1] I used to rush every answer Every loss felt loud Now I breathe through the questions Let it figure me out I made peace with the waiting With the parts I don’t post Learned success ain’t a moment It’s the ones who stay close I laughed through the mess That’s a survival instinct If I joke through the pressure It mean I’m still thinkin’ Dead Duck mindset Meaning I fell Meaning I came back Without ringing the bell [Chorus] I let time do the talking I stayed in my lane They were loud with opinions I was busy with days I let time do the talking No rush, no race If persistence got a voice That’s the sound it makes [Verse 2] They confuse speed with certainty I confuse patience with power Everybody want proof by Friday I’m okay letting it take hours I seen shortcuts fold under pressure Seen quiet work stack leverage If it didn’t break me outright It sharpened my sense of measure I don’t flex wins I flex balance I can lose and still stay grounded If persistence pays interest I been compounding [Chorus] I let time do the talking Still steady, still sane Didn’t force the result Just stayed in the frame I let time do the talking No fireworks displayed If persistence got a voice That’s the sound it makes [Bridge] I didn’t rush the lesson I didn’t skip the days I let repetition Turn into confidence [Final Chorus] I let time do the talking Now it speakin’ back Not in noise or numbers Just a quiet impact I let time do the talking Let it age with grace If persistence pays dividends I been right in place [Outro] I let time do the talking
