In Time
Kero One feat. Clara C & Dumbfoundead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That everything's going to be fine
I know, you know, we know
That everything will happen in time
(1)
It was may 10th when I saw the spiritual light
Age 10 given a mic, driven for life
Late fee again vicious cycle no handlebars and I'm still riding
A $100 on an outfit, I'm still styling
My mack game was flawed man, out of alignment
I stood in my lane now these dame's want their own diamonds
I'm in a place, higher than Machu Picchu
Girls who never chilled now they grill like Yakiniku
It's nice to meet you again for the second time
Yo I got to run so I'll leave you with this special rhyme
()
(2)
Don't sweat the little stuff
Stick your middle fingers up
Throw all that useless baggage out like a litter bug
Focus in on the long road ahead of you
Smoke a bong load and exhale the residue
I'm never blue because somebody always has it worse
Keep it moving and get your mama that Prada purse
What doesn't kill you it just makes you a stronger person
It's my adversities that helps me write betters
You can't force it or try to take a shortcut
Can't buy designer shoes without rocking torn chucks
We all fail we all hurt we all fall
But we rise again and toast to the last call

And I, I'll wait for my tomorrow, forget about yesterday
I've always got tomorrow, I'm living for a better day
So take me to another place, somewhere far away
Far, far away from today

It was may 10th when I saw the spiritual light
I had a transformative experience that changed my perspective
Age 10 given a mic, driven for life
I found my passion at an early age and knew I wanted to pursue it
But these bills look camouflage unseen like Santa Claus
It's easy to ignore financial problems because they can be hidden
Late fee again vicious cycle no handlebars and I'm still riding
I'm stuck in a cycle of debt and struggling to get out, but I'm still persevering
A $100 on an outfit, I'm still styling
Despite financial difficulties, I still want to look and feel good
My mack game was flawed man, out of alignment
I wasn't always successful in dating and relationships
I stood in my lane now these dame's want their own diamonds
Now that I'm successful, people are attracted to me for the wrong reasons
I'm in a place, higher than Machu Picchu
I'm in a good place emotionally and mentally
Girls who never chilled now they grill like Yakiniku
People who didn't pay attention to me before now want to be a part of my life
It's nice to meet you again for the second time
I'm reintroducing myself because I've changed
Yo I got to run so I'll leave you with this special rhyme
I'm ending this conversation with a message that's important to me
Don't sweat the little stuff
Don't worry about the small things
Stick your middle fingers up
Be rebellious and don't conform to what society expects of you
Throw all that useless baggage out like a litter bug
Get rid of things that weigh you down, like emotional baggage
Focus in on the long road ahead of you
Look towards your goals and don't get distracted
Smoke a bong load and exhale the residue
Relax and try not to stress too much
I'm never blue because somebody always has it worse
I try to keep things in perspective and be grateful for what I have
Keep it moving and get your mama that Prada purse
Don't let obstacles stop you from achieving your goals
What doesn't kill you it just makes you a stronger person
Adversity can make you more resilient
It's my adversities that helps me write betters
I draw inspiration from my struggles when writing music
You can't force it or try to take a shortcut
You can't rush success
Can't buy designer shoes without rocking torn chucks
You have to start somewhere before you can achieve your dreams
We all fail we all hurt we all fall
Everyone experiences setbacks and hardships
But we rise again and toast to the last call
We keep going and celebrate our victories, no matter how small
And I, I'll wait for my tomorrow, forget about yesterday
I'm focused on the future and not dwelling on the past
I've always got tomorrow, I'm living for a better day
I'm optimistic for the future
So take me to another place, somewhere far away
I want to escape my current situation
Far, far away from today
I want to distance myself from my current problems

I discovered you on Pandora radio, listening to my Nujabes radio station. One of your instrumentals came on from Windmills of the Soul. I always listen to Pandora when cooking breakfast in the morning, helps me start the day off positive. So I bookmarked the track, went and ate my breakfast and looked you up. Little did I know that you would take me on a musical journey that would uplift my soul. Such a positive message in a sea of hip hop drowned by negativity. Thank you for this.
