It’s About Time Lyrics
[Chorus]
It’s about time
It’s about time
It’s about time
It’s about time
Yeah, uh
Yeah

It’s about time
It’s about time
It’s about time
Yeah, uh
It’s about time

[Verse 1]
I’ve been battling spraying bars when I’m praying hard
Eyes closed hoping one day that I’ll make enough
Insecurities have been flaring up I can feel it
Hold my hands when I’m dreaming
Most my fans know I’m speaking
And this a vow that I’ll never lie for a crowd
Never hide when in doubt
I’ll display my heart when I’m out
My fears are getting tangible see my heart on a shelf
Well a label does why must I sign just to enable buzz
That’s the aim of the game
Aiming for fame
I’ve been throwing shade to this rain so I never face it again
The aim really
I’ve been staying sane with my mates near me
Explain the pain on this page
Draining my veins really
Blood seeps through the lyrics that I repeat
I been staying true
Displaying who I am up in my speech, uh
I been growing yeah I suppose you know
I suppose that the growing will show you home, home
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
It's about time
It's about time
It's about time
It's about time

[Verse 2]
Well the times ticking
My minds twitching
I’m spitting heart in this riddim
Hoping the mandem will get it
‘Cause I ain’t the coolest

But the chain reaction of passion
Have got me up in the movement
Yeah we mobile
Team that I’m with have got me a profile
And we’re forever growing my focus ain’t on my foes now
That’s mad right
Well damn right
I’ve been constantly growing hoping I’m gonna land right, uh
Stack up and build
Hand on my will
I ain’t selling out my soul for a label that wanna steal
Me and Rick behind the wheel
Coasting around them spills
Ain’t gonna shuffle and jive to get a deal and it’s still
Family first, family first
I’ve been praying for my bros and sis like it’s a church
I been growing yeah I suppose you know
I suppose that the growing will show you home, home
Yeah yeah

[Chorus]
It's about time
It's about time
It's about time
It's about time
It's about time
It's about time

It's about time
It's about time
