The song "Always on Time" by Jah Vinci reflects on the artist's past and how he has transformed himself to become a better and wiser person. He starts by acknowledging that his father played a critical role in shaping him into the person he is today. He then prays to God to deliver him from the fire, which could represent the struggles he has been through or the temptations he faces daily. The artist then reflects on the past and how he used to be happy with the little things he got, such as a pay slip, and how he would take money from people without any remorse. He further reflects on how he has changed and how God's words have changed his life, acknowledging that it is never too late to turn one's life around.
The chorus reiterates the message that it is never too late to change one's life, and God is always on time to help those who seek Him. The artist credits Jah (God) for transforming his life and changing the course of his destiny. The second verse speaks of how the artist used to go to church but never really understood the lessons preached there. He also reflects on how his brother passed away, and it was a sad time for him, leading him to pray for an end to the crime and a straight path. He ends the song by repeating the chorus twice, emphasizing the message of hope and redemption.
