The alternate route is a long one[00:00:01]
But ultimately in the end [00:00:04]
It gets you to the same exact destination[00:00:05]
Yes sir the journey's been long[00:00:09]
And the wins have been short[00:00:14]
But today none of that matters[00:00:16]
The time is now zoom get close[00:00:21]
The ego is gone the room is for growth[00:00:24]
But talent is there the feeling is new[00:00:27]
I mean bottom is gone but the ceiling is too[00:00:29]
I was higher than Whitney headed toward the top again[00:00:32]
Everything I write crack like it's with a Bobby pen[00:00:35]
But it's more than what you hear in a song[00:00:38]
The wings are extended the fear is gone[00:00:40]
Hold up the clips are loaded safety is off[00:00:42]
The business is in the black I ain't taking a loss[00:00:45]
Hold up standards are high hoes never hold out[00:00:48]
The touring is cool the shows always sold out[00:00:51]
The foes are mad but f**k it no one else cares[00:00:54]
The kicks are custom you'll never see em elsewhere[00:00:56]
The stakes are high the risk is crucial[00:00:59]
And they love to hate me but I love it when they do too[00:01:01]
I've been waiting here for so long[00:01:05]
Gotta take what's mine[00:01:08]
Since time will never wait[00:01:11]
Who am I stand up fate [00:01:12]
It's my time it's my time it's my time[00:01:14]
Look I've been hurt I could pull up scars[00:01:26]
Now the earth is my pull up bar[00:01:29]
The journey was long the roads were slim[00:01:31]
Though I thank God today I probably owe it to sin[00:01:34]
Streets were hungry I was torn apart[00:01:37]
Even though them jails were cold they warmed my heart[00:01:39]
Was living the worst but prayed for the best[00:01:42]
Ain't have a thing given to me had to rape success[00:01:45]
Had to be used for approval had to use whatever was useful[00:01:47]
Had to act old even when youthful[00:01:51]
Money don't make me that ain't what I kill for[00:01:53]
Cause I was richer than I'd ever been and was still poor[00:01:56]
Some never thought he would propel[00:01:58]
Some talked to me just to speak to themselves[00:02:01]
Some broke their arm all while reaching for wealth[00:02:03]
So when you come into the game make sure you leave with yourself[00:02:06]
I've been waiting here for so long[00:02:10]
Gotta take what's mine[00:02:13]
Since time will never wait[00:02:15]
Who am I stand up fate [00:02:17]
It's my time it's my time it's my time[00:02:19]
We all got demons a few I rivaled[00:02:31]
Looked em in the eye and they became suicidal[00:02:33]
They thought it couldn't happen they were too prideful[00:02:36]
His head's an ornament on the wall as proof I survived you[00:02:39]
Bills were high money was low[00:02:42]
Strip club was popping wasn't money to go[00:02:44]
Going nowhere fast but drugs was a one stop[00:02:47]
Couldn't shine selling that tan I had my son blocked[00:02:50]
Now I'm on acres in a house with a loft[00:02:52]
The women are foreign their blouses are off[00:02:55]
It's a whole new me I redefined my style[00:02:57]
And since yesterday's gone I guess the time is now[00:03:00]
I've been waiting here for so long[00:03:04]
Gotta take what's mine[00:03:07]
Since time will never wait[00:03:09]
Who am I stand up fate [00:03:11]
It's my time it's my time it's my time[00:03:13]
