Nightmares that I see
Wake up chase my dream

It’s only one thing I gotta say
Im poppin like a tape on replay
I aint gonna front I'm behind slight delay

No time no time 2x
No time like the present
Life looking like a gift yea I said it
Verse 1:
Racking my mind like
I ain't just fall 10 steps behind like
its a million three things I could do
I only got through two
me and quarantine had a rendezvous
just kicking it, goals in view
clubbing in Chelsea the lights always dim
Coach said you ready come out the gym

Niggas be selfish with they money and wasteful with their time
But when time is gone it’s something that you can’t get back
So there’s no amount of money or figures in my mind
In reference to my time to let somebody go way stat
And niggas tryna make the paper ain't my only worry
I gotta keep the block hot cause niggas be plottin on my tryna herb me
So I stop but nigga what’s up I’m in a hurry
No time for conversation with niggas thats thinking of murdering me
Gotta do it now, can’t be focused on what's later
From the school of hard knocks mind my business was the major
Headline world tours did it all without a major
Know my fears keep pushing man that's all within my nature
Please do me a favor, don’t do me no favors
On this flight to Croatia sippin tea with echinacea
If they wasting time gotta dead it
The past is certain future doubtful but no time like the present, Walker
Pre Chorus:
Nightmares that I see
