Time will Tell

Mic check, mic check
All the sacrifices and the sleepless nights
Will they serve me well
Only time will tell

I just keep on praying that I'll
Find my way if I go through hell
Only time will tell
Only time will tell

I've been at this everyday feeling so well
It's like this rap casted a spell
Pulled me from heaven's hell
When I'm feeling myself

But the doubt still creeps in
So I write a song to start believing
My heart starts beating and I start relieving
The demons that were seeping are leaving

I start breathing
You're seeing the reasons
I'm going after what I'm dreaming
Cause when I start speaking

The words start steaming
You can't bring me down when I'm beaming
I ain't leaving till the casket's where I'm sleeping
This rap game ain't ready for me

But I'm ready for it
I'm finally ready to commit
I see the conflict only with myself
So if you ain't here to help

Get off my shelf
I want you to love yourself
But I need to love me as well
If you never saw the depression

I can't teach you this lesson
This booth is my therapy session
It goes without question
Without this there's too much aggression

At my own succession
This music is my obsession
I hope I make an impression
Cause I don't want you to end like this sentence

Buy a ticket at the concession
So we can start confessing
That our voice needs the attention
This is the progression

Hold you tighter if you need the compression
Stop suppressing
Your voice in silence
Ain't gonna get you where you destined

I'm just expressing the love I have
If you got me I got your back
No questions asked
I had to unclasp my past

To make a bigger impact
But I'm here at last
Now I subtract Tears for laughs
My body's intact

My mind's on track
Only pulling the trigger
For my thoughts to blast
I'm no longer gassed

Seeing the light in a new contrast
If you don't like this you can kiss my ass
I took this beat and I smashed
My old ways I trashed

But not forgetting the past
I reel and I cast
I splish and I splash
Cannonballs in my bath

Student to teacher in my class
I'm cutting the grass
If you feel like a miscast
Find the ones that don't make you feel like that

There's plenty of people
That will have you feeling love at last
I'm reaching out like my hands attached
To yours in a clasp

People forgetting their words
Make you feel harassed
Fuck that
I curse when the love reversed

It's that
Not my words that I think are cursed
So don't try to edit this
You can beep out whatever you want

That won't end the crisis
Mental health is my only crisis
Don't hate when I say I'm the nicest
I want you to roll the same dices

This is confidence
This is my advices

And the sleepless nights
Will they serve me well
Only time will tell
I just keep on praying

That I'll find my way
If I go through hell
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
