Minute By Minute
A.J. Brown Lyrics

You ain't get it at first it's your perception
Misunderstanding at first is a common misstep.

The game been calling my name it left a message
This path is calling me, and I'm going to answer it.

I'm the type of kid that the coaches were always benching
I wasn't always the star, but I've become a valuable player.

But now I pick my minutes I'm playing out every second
I'm in control now and I'm making the most of every moment.

The clocks low and I feel that my time is coming soon
I can sense that my big break is getting closer.

This is my moment if I don't get it it's nothing new
I'm going for it and if I fall short, I know it's all part of the journey.

'Cause doors open, and doors close, they come and go
Opportunities are never guaranteed and you have to be ready to seize them.

And you ain't gotta enter unless you feeling comfortable
Don't rush into anything if you're not ready.

So pick your time and pick your place when the move's right
Choose your battles and make strategic moves.

And fuck the doubters that hating when you reach new heights
Don't let negative people bring you down when you succeed.

They only ever see the vision from they own eyes
Not everyone will understand your vision or journey.

You gotta understand they could never do what you do right
You have your own unique talents and abilities.

So let's take it back, everything they came and grabbed
Reflect on past experiences and learn from them.

Forgive but don't forget how they really tryna snake your bag
Don't hold grudges, but be cautious and don't trust everyone.

I'm gonna find a way to get all of these finer things
I'm striving for success and living my best life.

And whether you like it or not I still won't ever hide my face
I won't back down or hide my true self, regardless of others' opinions.

This life is beautiful, truly lucky I'm living in it
I'm grateful for the opportunities and experiences in my life.

This music moving, I'm truly lucky I'm gifted with it
I'm grateful for my talent and passion for music.

The passion that I bring will always go unmatched
I have a unique energy and drive that sets me apart.

It's truly calling for my name I'd never walk a different path
I'm meant to pursue this path, and I won't stray from it.

The music made me it's who I am and I'll always be
My love for music is an integral part of my identity.

That's why the naysayers and shit talkers don't bother me
I won't let negative comments discourage me from my goals.

They losing sleep just to hate tryna keep me awake
They're wasting their time and energy trying to bring me down.

But little did they know I been staying up anyway
Their attempts to sabotage me won't work, I'm still pushing forward.

Drafting new lines, so I can keep supplying the vibes
I'm constantly creating and evolving my craft.

You better tune in now, I'm making shit for the times
Pay attention, because I'm making music that's relevant for today's culture.

Or else it's too late now, because you missing the ride
Don't miss out on my journey and success.

'Cause now I'm two flights out maybe I'll get you next time
I'm moving up in the world, but there will always be another chance for you to join me.

And it's seeming we seeing different
We have different perspectives and goals.

They only tryna travel, I'm tryna maintain a pivot
They're happy with mediocrity, but I'm striving for growth and success.

After being a rapper I'm also a man of business
I'm not just a musician, I'm also building a business and brand.

They tell me to keep on reaching I know the sky ain't the limit
I'm motivated to keep pushing myself beyond what others think is possible.

Everything that I'm giving gon' grow into something different
My hard work and efforts will pay off and lead to greater things.

Multiplying our digits, till we collecting six figures
I'm focused on financial success and building wealth.

And all of my ten fingers, get covered over in blisters
I'm willing to put in the hard work and effort necessary to succeed.

The money is only good just as long as the art ain't missing
Financial success is important, but not at the expense of my art and creativity.

Everything that I'm spitting is only to clear the vision
My music is meant to inspire and motivate others, and help them see their own potential.

Perception is what you missing
Misunderstandings and misconceptions can be obstacles to success.

I think it's time that we switch it
It's time to change our approach and mindset for greater success.

Lyricism I bring it, with flows that can mimic singing
My music is unique and diverse, blending different styles and elements.

I'm thinking it's finally time to take notice of how I'm gifted
It's time for others to recognize my talent and potential.
