Only Time
Project-24 Lyrics

Only time will tell the truth
The truth will only be revealed with time.

I'm living proof of what could happen to a man
My experiences are proof of what can happen to a person.

When he decides to stand strong
When a person chooses to have courage and resilience.

Some of them swim, some of them drown in their sorrows
Some people deal with their problems while others succumb to them.

We're living to die and I'll die to live again tomorrow
Life is about the balance between the inevitable end and the hope for tomorrow.

But let me tell you about the time I was just a teen
Allow me to share with you a past experience when I was a teenager.

Yas & Bobby you said it was just a dream
Yas and Bobby, people who doubted my potential, said my aspirations were a mere fantasy.

My life's a circus I serve no purpose
My life feels chaotic and meaningless.

Now when you hear my name you get nervous
My reputation makes people anxious.

You see it wasn't just a fantasy
My passion for music is real and not just an illusion.

Cause music is my life and I cherish it like family
Music holds great significance in my life, akin to family.

So now I'm chasing dreams, facing obstacles
I am pursuing my goals despite the difficulties.

Racing against the clock like it was impossible
Time feels like an enemy, but I am pushing forward anyway.

Somebody's watching over me like a guardian angel
I feel protected by an unseen force.

I'm on the outside watching my life untangle
I feel like I am observing my life unfold from a distance.

Watching my life climb to new heights
I am witnessing my life progress to new positive levels.

Still waiting for the day I see my name in lights
I have hope and a desire for fame and recognition.

Tell 'em once tell 'em twice
Repeat the message to them clearly.

Only time will tell
The truth and outcome will only be revealed with time.

Some go up, some go down and some never fell
Success and failure are outcomes that vary for different people.

Win or lose make a move, if you got the guts
Whether you succeed or fail, take action and have courage.

So why's everybody always screaming life sucks
Why do people focus only on the negativity of life?

Only if I knew what made you hopeless
If only I understood what caused your despair.

When time stands still I just sit back and focus
In moments of stillness, I reflect and concentrate.

I hold a mic on stage, I hold a pen to the page
My tools for expressing my thoughts and emotions are my microphone and pen.

And then I write like I was trapped in a cage
My writing feels like an escape from confinement and restriction.

But wait a minute cause it's not the end
Don't lose hope, the conclusion is not final.

I call few people enemies and fewer people friends
I have few enemies and even fewer close friends.

And a lot of people like to think they were down from the start
Many people want to believe they've been supportive since the beginning.

You played your games you broke my heart
Your manipulative behavior caused me emotional pain.

You broke my heart into pieces
Your actions caused me significant emotional damage.

You showed me who the beast is
Your behavior revealed your true character.

Yeah I trust you about as far as my hand reaches
I trust you very little.

Sticking to me like leaches and holding me tight
You cling to me and refuse to let go.

I went from deep sleep to sleepless nights
My peaceful slumber transformed into restless nights worrying about you.

I can't take it, I got to make it my passion
I can't handle this situation, I need to focus on my passion instead.

Dedicated to all the ones who were laughing
This message is dedicated to those who mocked or doubted me.

Take these words home and think it through
Reflect deeply on these words.

Cause the next song I write might be about you
If your behavior warrants it, I may write a song about you in the future.

Only time will tell why people try and drag you down
With time, it becomes clear why some people attempt to bring you down.

They never make a noise and they never make a sound
Those who seek to bring you down often do so quietly.

Only time will tell if these people really want you
With time, it becomes evident whether these people truly want to be in your life.

Maybe one day it'll come back to haunt you
Your actions towards others may have negative consequences for yourself in the future.

Only time will tell what's the price for being famous
The cost of fame may only be evident with time.

Some die with a name, some die nameless
Fame is not guaranteed and it does not define one's legacy.

Only time will tell when you make a mistake
With time, the impact of a mistake is revealed.

Hold on to your life before it's too late
Appreciate and value your life before it comes to an end.
