[Intro] Yeah… Taking my time… They thought I was finished… But this my journey… [Hook] Taking my time, now it’s my time to shine Payback on the way, I been waiting in line They wanna see me fall, they wanna see me break But I built myself up from every mistake I got scars on my heart, but I carry my name Walked through the fire, still I’m playing the game They asking for the price, asking how I survive I tell them I was born just to come back alive [Verse 1] No, I don’t play, I don’t talk too much I was down bad, had to build it up Now the cash flow coming, now they looking my way Funny how they switch when they see you getting paid I got the vision, I got the drive Lost many nights just trying to survive They want the shine but they don’t know the pain They want the crown but they don’t know the rain Keep it steady when I stack my bands Never needed nobody, I became my man They throwing hate but I don’t react I turn every loss into another track Why you talking so much in my face? I was running my race while you stayed in place Pieces of my heart, had to rebuild Pain made me strong, now I know my skill [Hook] Taking my time, now it’s my time to shine Payback on the way, I been waiting in line They wanna see me fall, they wanna see me break But I built myself up from every mistake [Verse 2] I remember days when the house felt cold Had dreams in my head but nobody told I was the last one, waiting for my chance Had to grow fast, had to learn the dance My sister came first, then I arrived Daddy had anger, brought pain to our lives I was too young, didn’t understand Just a little kid trying to hold my mother’s hand I still see that moment inside my mind A memory that never leaves behind My angel laying there, tears in my eyes Asking if she wanted to play one more time No answer came, just silence in the room A child feeling pain way too soon Family arrived but the moment was gone That little boy inside me still carries on [Bridge] I turned my tears into diamonds Turned my pain into timing Every scar got a story Every loss made me stronger I don’t hate, I elevate I don’t break, I create From the darkness I came Now remember my name [Final Hook] Taking my time, now it’s my time to shine Everything I lost made the victory mine They can talk, they can hate, they can wait in the dark But they can’t stop the fire inside of my heart Journey of my time, this is my road Carrying the pain but I carry the gold I was born in the struggle, I came from the night Now I’m walking through the shadows into the light
