In Time
B.C. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rather Safe than sorry call ahead and grab a bite at charlie's
I applied to Arby's
Barry joined the army
Understanding Saddi side I just thought you try to harm me
never know the way my life has been what type of friendships are these
Wish the way I chance to take it there I take chance to call em
But sure enough I'll be reason everybody leaves
I find more time to argue with natrice then check up on Malik
I'm panicking to get inside the house I'm digging for the keys
I thought I heard someone behind the car I'm looking cross the street
I take in groceries left a bag I'm scared somebody see
I don't even return calls
Sorry I concerned y'all
Like damn you not comfortable in front of the house you was playing curb ball
Admitting to friends and family that you scared is such a turn off
Being smart is weak but it's like being dumb is worst off
I'm still doing the thing that got me the second case the first place
not sure if I should still be happy they postponed my court date
I still got faith bad company and poor taste
I rather cry inside than hear the silent shrives that yours make
It's eleven fifty pm I'm out Jersey Im the worst case
I moved out I'm second guessing I was checking views on Reddit
Looking for a new apartment and establishing my credit
Camera man is charging twice to work and twice as long to edit
If you not kissing ass and holding dick it's gone be hard to get it
Being real and doing what's best for you in the ending never meshes
Less than one percentage my music following is out in Texas
I been feeling stagnant my confidence keep canceling sessions
Time is of essence maybe if they show me signs it work then I can stop regretting
Maybe the way I prepare for it to hit the fan is from rejection
My cousin got hit he still got pieces caught in his intestines




Maybe I plead the fifth so well because as a little kid I couldn't express it
Big parts of me I left it we accept that were the exception
