Now is the time
Requiem & Alee Lyrics

They say yo life is what you base it on
The way you live your life is entirely up to you

I start to think if this night that I don't make it home
If I don't survive tonight, I wonder what will happen

Know everything'll be alright, the Lord gone take my soul
If I die, I believe my soul will be taken care of by the Lord

Don't wake me up, from this sleep, that I been waiting on, don't take that wrong
I am ready to go if I die, please don't try to prolong my life

What don't kill me only make me strong
Adversity and challenges make me stronger

And what they send to take me out will only take me home
If I die, I will be going to a better place

I know you used to living fast, time to take it slow
It's time to slow down and enjoy life instead of rushing through it

When you start to take your time that's when these things'll go, be patient though
By slowing down and being patient, things will work out better in the end

They been saying, time is money, I can't waste no mo
I have been told that time is valuable and I shouldn't waste it anymore

When erbody and they momma out chere making dough
Everyone is trying to make money these days

I'm tired of living check to check, plus my bank is low
I'm tired of barely making ends meet and having very little money saved

Plus I'm still up in a debt tryna pay these loans
I'm still trying to pay off my loans and get out of debt

But they say you got it good, yeah that maybe so
Other people may think that I have it good, but they don't know my struggles

I guess that’s why without a penny I'm still gracious though
Even though I may not have much, I am still grateful for what I do have

Because I know a trillion benjis, ain't gone save my soul, it can't and won't no
No amount of money can save my soul, it's something that only the Lord can do

They say time is equal to money
People often equate time with money

But they can't make that or save that for me
They cannot create or save time for me

If ever that safe crack, Lord paid that for me
If there is ever a problem, the Lord will take care of it for me

Can't waste mine, waste mine
I can't afford to waste my time

Grinding til I get it, naw I never ever quit it
I will work hard until I achieve my goals and I will not give up

Though my stacks kind of bitty why I'm still looking litty
Even though I may not have a lot of money, I still look good

Bro I get it then I flip it, I get than I flip it
I buy things and then resell them for a profit

On my knees every day cause I know my God gone get it
I pray every day because I believe that God will provide for me

Staying focus, it's clutch time I'm about that win
I am staying focused because I am determined to win

No time to stall fam, nah, this is jump man
I don't have time to waste, it's time to take action

It's time to ball and, Space Jam long hand
It's time to succeed and fulfill my potential

They say time is money, but I think it's kinda funny
I find it ironic that people equate time with money

That they steadily tryna take it, but they can't provide it for me
People try to take my time but they cannot give it back to me

If I say that this is nothing could've gave it to that women
If I say that I have nothing, I could have given it to a woman in need

Standing on the corner begging, she was saying she was hungry
A woman was begging on the street because she was hungry

I was drinking, getting blunted, instead of servant to the public
Instead of helping others, I was drinking and getting high

I was searching for some pleasure, my treasures now up and coming
I was looking for instant gratification but now I am working towards future success

See momma ain't make no fool, and poppa didn't raise no dummy
My parents raised me to be smart and make good choices

Lord Father, I'm just a tool, so use me the way you want if
I am open to being used by God in whatever way He chooses

You put me up in Your shed, it's my fault if I rust but if
If God protects me, and I fail, it's my own fault

You put me up in Your Hands, I promise I'm a make something
If God guides me, I will succeed and make something of myself

They say time is money
People often equate time with money
