Go Time
Ryan Caraveo Lyrics

We runnin′ up them numbers, uh
We are rapidly increasing our success and achievements.

We runnin' up on neighbors
We are expanding our reach and influence to those around us.

We don′t got no good Karma left
Our past actions have caught up to us and we are facing negative consequences.

We runnin' out of favors, yeah
We are using up the resources and help of others, and there are no more favors left to ask for.

Dap's and hug′s don′t pay the rent
Affection and gestures of goodwill do not provide financial stability.

Never seen an angel sent
We have not experienced any luck or blessings coming our way.

To this side of town I live
Our living situation is in a less fortunate area with limited opportunities.

So I reap while they repent
We are taking advantage of opportunities for success while others reflect on their mistakes.

My role model's were finessers
Our examples of successful people were those who used cleverness to achieve their goals.

Pop a couple pills in the dresser
We turn to substance use to cope with stress and challenges.

Gave me forty and I flipped ′em, I ain't even feel the pressure
We achieved success by turning a small investment into a larger profit, without feeling the pressure of that responsibility.

Never learned to press a shirt
We were not taught basic life skills such as proper dress and grooming.

Never learned to tie a tie
We were not taught basic life skills such as professional attire and presentation.

′Cause I seen my parents checks
We saw the financial struggles of our parents and were not taught how to properly manage money.

And I seen they tired eyes
We witnessed the exhaustion and stress of hardworking parents who struggled to make ends meet.

If we could've paid for college
If we had the financial resources to attend college,

Hell, I might′ve been a lawyer
We could have pursued a career in law if given the opportunity.

But that prolly wouldn't work
But realistically, that would not have been achievable without financial stability.

I'm too motherfucking loyal
We prioritize loyalty to our loved ones over personal success and career advancement.

I′ve got too many people counting on me, on me
We have many people depending on us for support and we feel a responsibility to help them.

So it′s go time, crunch time
It is time to put in the hard work and effort to achieve success.

Night time, sleep time
We do not have the luxury of rest and relaxation if we want to achieve our goals.

Wake time, work time
We must work hard and consistently to achieve our goals.

No time? Make time
We must prioritize our goals and make time for what is important to us.

Luck is just something that you make
Luck is not purely based on chance, but rather on effort and determination.

If they don't want to give, you take
If others are not willing to help or support us, we must take matters into our own hands.

I am not proud of what I've been
We have made mistakes and have a past that we are not proud of.

But I′m proud of where I came from
Despite our difficult upbringing, we are proud of our roots and the things we have overcome.

Drowning in the, drowning in the drink going brain dumb
We used to engage in destructive behavior that negatively affected our mental state.

Waking up with strangers
We used to engage in casual sex and partying that led to waking up with unfamiliar people.

Don't know where they came from
We engaged in this behavior without understanding the motives or backgrounds of those involved.

Turn my life around and I started building kingdoms
We have made a conscious effort to turn our life around and establish our success and power.

All I do is work now
We have fully dedicated ourselves to our work and career.

Funny how it works out
It is ironic and unexpected that our life has turned out this way.

Ain′t no time to take her on a date
We do not have the time or resources to pursue romantic relationships.

Don't have a girl now
We are currently not in a relationship.

I guess that's the trade off
Choosing to prioritize work and success over relationships is a sacrifice we have made.

Guess I had to fade off
We had to distance ourselves from certain people and activities to focus on our goals.

To finally find the time to figure out what I was made of
We needed space and time to reflect on our abilities and potential.

Ay, give me space, love
We need distance and time to pursue our goals instead of romantic relationships.

I got shit to prove
We feel the need to prove ourselves and our potential to the world.

I don′t do this for no pay stub
We are not motivated solely by financial gain, but by personal satisfaction and achievement.

I know that you hate the
We are aware that others disapprove of our priorities and choices.

Way it separates us
Our choices and priorities have created distance and tension between us and others.

But success is something
We believe that pursuing success is important and necessary for personal growth and fulfillment.

I need me a taste of
We desire to experience the satisfaction and fulfillment that comes with achieving our goals.
