Early morning, city breathing slow, I’m wide awake, got places I wanna go. Hit up the crew but they ghost on sight, Always “maybe later”, never “let’s go tonight”. So I breathe in deep, let the pressure slide, If they don’t move with me, I’m still gonna rise. Heart on beat, ambition in my spine— I’m done syncing up with someone else’s time. Held myself back tryna fit their vibe, But my tempo’s different, I’m tryna stay alive. I gotta live with purpose, not on standby— so tell me why I ever tried to slow my stride? I can’t just wait and stay in your time, Stay yo time, The time is passing with this rhyme, With this rhyme My mind is racin’, I gotta go, Gotta go Can’t just stay in your time Just stay in yo time I used to dim down just to match your pace, Thinking loyalty meant staying in place. But loyalty to me means chasing the dream, Even if I gotta do it with no team. Every “hold up” slowed my evolution, Every “not today” felt like pollution. Now I’m cleaning out the doubts in my mind— fresh start, clean slate, new grind. Held myself back tryna fit their vibe, But freedom feels real when you cut the ties. Now my rhythm’s honest, my pulse aligned— I’m finally walking in my own design. I can’t just wait and stay in your time, Stay yo time, The time is passing with this rhyme, With this rhyme, My mind is racin’, I gotta go, Gotta go, Can’t just stay in your time, Just stay in yo time, And maybe one day they’ll catch my stride, But I’m done shrinking just to stand beside. If moving alone is the way I climb, Then I’ll rise solo—still gonna shine. Life moves quick, gotta claim what’s mine, Can’t waste another second waiting for the sign. If they call when I’m beyond the line, They’ll see I built this life in my own time. No shade thrown—it’s just the design. I’m not stuck in your time… I’m living mine.
