Time Will Tell
Layzie Bone Lyrics

It's all about perfect timin', feel me!
The key to success is perfect timing.

I said, it's all about perfect timin', feel me!
Reiterating that timing is everything.

Nigga, it's all about perfect timin', feel me!
Emphasizing the importance of timing.

Puttin' it down 'til these mothaf**kas kill me!
I'll keep working hard until I die.

"It's like, time will tell, time will tell"
Only time can determine success or failure.

For me to prevail and capitalize on this mail
To succeed and make money.

Look at the seven on my stomach, don't run from it
Referring to a tattoo, don't be scared of him.

Battles you scared of a nigga that done really done it
Don't be afraid of someone who has real experience.

Nigga, this hustlin' thang ain't knew to me
This lifestyle isn't new to me.

See, what it do for me
It's what keeps him successful.

I keeps it crackin' and poppin', and droppin'
Continuing to be successful and popular.

The fact this shit that's always chart toppin'
His work is always successful.

Feelin' my legacy, don't step to me never
He values his legacy and reputation.

Nigga done took you on that other level
He's taken his competition to the next level.

I war with the devil just one of them mighty rebels
He's fought against many obstacles and enemies.

I passed the game out, figured a way to get my name out
He's shared his knowledge and created opportunities for himself.

Now they ask me what this fame 'bout
People want to know about his success.

Little kids wanna go the same route
Youth are inspired by his success.

If they can be like lil' Layzie they would
He's a role model for many young people.

But it's thug or die comin' up in the hood
The reality of living in a tough neighborhood.

It's all the same, homie from the north, to the south, to the east, to the west
The struggle is universal and not limited to one region.

Better protect that chest and keep it peacefull where you rest
Stay safe and avoid violence in your own neighborhood.

And God bless
A non-specific endorsement of good wishes.

If I have to protect my family I will
He will do whatever it takes to keep his loved ones safe.

May Lord have mercy on your soul when it's the time to kill
He's acknowledging the severity and possible consequences of violence.

Let time reveal
Time will show the truth of a situation.

And I bet they tell a story is at
He's confident that his success will be talked about.

And I put my city on the map
He's brought attention and prestige to his hometown.

Nigga, I attack with rap
He uses his music to aggressively and effectively convey his message.

World wide thugish ruggish, ruggish, riggish, ruggish, ruggish, ruggish
His music and persona are recognized worldwide.

Nigga, tick tock On a race against the clock, we all swervin'
Life is short and time is fleeting.

When i'm dippin' in my Suburban
Driving in his expensive car.

I be that nigga that pull to the curb
He's confident in his status and reputation.

And I got some words for y'all niggas that's claimin' you're holdin' it down
Words for people who claim to be successful.

What's wrong wit'cha now, when I come around niggas hatin' me now
Jealousy and hostility from others.

I already knew it wasn't my niggas
He knows who his true friends are.

It was that money that kept you blinded
Money can cause people to change.

I'm masterminded, perfect timin'
He's intelligent and strategic with his actions.

Keepin' my mental criminal minded
Keeping a mindset for success.

Want an autograph, and I signed it
Fans admire and want recognition from him.

Showed you much love, and I meant it
He cares for his fans and shows appreciation.

Now i'm doin' this eternal sin to stand away from you and hatred
He's distancing himself from negativity.

F**k the world
A negative sentiment.

Nigga, I'd die for respect
He values respect immensely.

Nigga, I ride for my check
He works hard for his income.

And i'm just waitin' to see who gon' lie to me next
He's heard many lies and expects to hear more.

So what, that rolex on your wrist Won't mean you always on point
Material possessions don't guarantee success.

All that flossin'll get you held up Ask my niggas in the joint
Showing off can lead to dangerous situations.

Doin' time'll put some shit on your mind Nothin' but solitude, niggas ain't got no gratitude
Being in prison leads to introspection and appreciation for what you had.

Real niggas that keep that attitudes Nigga, I don't switch my block
He stays loyal and committed to his community.

Cause it's still double glock Even tho' i'm runnin' from the cops
He's still carrying a gun despite the risk of getting caught.

World wide, I gets my props
He gets recognition and praise worldwide.

You the man little nigga You ain't knowin' that shit?
Giving recognition and encouragement to someone.

And i'ma put it down for you So go on and wreck
He'll give support to someone despite their inexperience.

Well, I'ma disect this shit Strip it down to the nerve
He's breaking down the situation in its simplest form.

Pull the Excersion to the curb And let these niggas know the word
Making a statement and taking control of the situation.

Nigga, it's your time to shine Bottom line, hatin' niggas can't stop the grind
It's time for someone to be successful, and negativity won't stop them.

Bone Thugs my niggas The original heavy hitters of a show Go-getters, and L Burna, wig splitter
He's proud to be a part of Bone Thugs and their success.

Take a picture, nigga We'll get'cha, it's the thangs we do
He's confident in his ability to catch someone or something.

It's just the game that we be spittin', let me explain it to you
He's explaining the world of rap music.

And i'm gon' be that nigga that tell ya to go on and give 'em hell too
Encouraging someone to be successful and aggressive.

The team in the cells, only time will tell
We'll see in the future if they'll be successful despite the odds.

World wide thuggish ruggish, ruggish, ruggish, ruggish, ruggish Thuggish ruggish, ruggish, ruggish, ruggish
Repeated line to emphasize his status and popularity.
