The Time Is Now
WWE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your time is up, my time is now
You can't see me, my time is now
It's the franchise, boy I'm shinin' now
You can't see me, my time is now!
[John Cena]
In case you forgot or fell off I'm still hot - knock your shell off
The franchise, doin' big bid'ness, I live this
It's automatic I win this - oh you hear those horns, you finished
A soldier, and I stay under you fightin'
Plus I'm stormin' on you chumps like I'm thunder and lightning
Ain't no way you breakin' me kid, I'm harder than nails
Plus I keep it on lock, like I'm part of the jail
I'm slaughtering stale, competition, I got the whole block wishing
They could run with my division but they gone fishing -
- with no bait, kid your boy hold weight
I got my soul straight, I brush your mouth like Colgate
In any weather I'm never better your boy's so hot
You'll never catch me in the next man's sweater
If they hate, let 'em hate, I drop ya whole clan
Lay yo' ass DOWN for the three second tap
[Chorus]
[Tha Trademarc]
Yeah, uhh
It's gon' be what it's gon' be
Five pounds of courage buddy, bass tint pants with a gold T
Uhh - it's a war dance and victory step
A raw stance is a gift, when you insist it's my rep
John Cena, Trademarc, y'all are so-so
And talk about the bread you make but don't know the recipe for dough though
Aimin' guns in all your photos, that's a no-no
When this pop, you'll liplock, your big talk's a blatant no-show
See what happens when the ice age melt
You see monetary status is not what matters, but it helps
I rock a timepiece by Benny if any
The same reason y'all could love me is the same reason y'all condemn me
A man's measured by the way that he thinks
Not clothing lines, ice links, leather and minks
I spent 20 plus years seekin' knowledge of self
So for now Marc Predka's livin' live for wealth
[Chorus - repeat 2X]
The lyrics to WWE's song The Time Is Now, performed by John Cena and Tha Trademarc, are filled with themes of dominance, strength, and resilience. The chorus, sung by Cena, repeats the mantra “your time is up, my time is now” as a statement of his present and ultimate dominance. He asserts that he is the franchise and is currently shining above all competitors. Cena declares that he is a soldier, driven to fight and determined to win. He is so confident in his abilities that he states that there is no way anyone can break him. He is harder than nails and has competition wishing that they could join his division, knowing that they do not compare to his level of skill.
In the second verse, Tha Trademarc speaks with bravado, asserting that what will happen is what will happen. He speaks of his courage, not in terms of physical strength, but in terms of his resolute determination. He gives a nod to monetary success, acknowledging that it provides a helpful edge, but insists that true value is in the way one thinks. He has spent years seeking knowledge of self and is driven by the desire to achieve wealth. He sees himself as both loved and condemned for the same reason: he is unapologetically himself.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of unwavering strength and dominance in the face of competition. The use of strong language and assertive phrases creates a mood of empowerment.
