[00:00.129] What is an hour glass? time is like an overpass
[00:02.538] Driving I'm grabbing moments that vanishes when I start to gas it
[00:05.425] Then a casket starts to come up close and really quickly
[00:08.181] Thinking bout the past and my people and will they really miss me..
[00:10.981] Did I touch a life and love them while I'm here?
[00:13.412] Did I stack up all my chips only to dip and disappear?
[00:16.045] Was this really bout the fame and how we're chasing it
[00:18.453] Facing it, only dip your toe but never bathe in it - hating it
[00:21.827] I’ll never know who this music really touches
[00:24.607] Hope it brushes on your soul hope you grab a hold
[00:26.831] And make it lovely I've been in moments where my heart was in love
[00:29.636] At least it felt like that at present but was never enough
[00:32.486] And so I paint it in a frame just to claim it and keep around
[00:35.682] Document my travels I'm reaching you through a sound
[00:38.263] Hoping that you're vibing and living in all your moments
[00:40.972] We could leave up out this earth in a second and we may never know it
[00:44.149]
[00:44.364] We all wake up with the same amount of minutes
[00:46.647] We're navigating daily with a 24 to live it
[00:49.365] How you choose to move is your legacy, entity
[00:52.184] Loving those around you keep it heavenly, symmetry
[00:54.865]
[00:55.289] We all wake up with the same amount of minutes
[00:57.583] We're navigating daily with a 24 to live it
[01:00.217] Choose your own direction, not just to impress
[01:02.815] You never know when we are leaving with a few minutes left
[01:05.709]
[01:05.916] I never really needed much to feel alive in life
[01:08.939] A cup of coffee and a sandwich got me feeling right
[01:11.713] In the tightest window with a breeze up from the sunrise
[01:14.045] I'm turning CBS on while I'm navigating one-eyed
[01:16.784] barely half awake but the mocha will get me woke
[01:19.645] next thing that I know is that beat on is kinda dope
[01:22.287] So I slowly make way to my papers I'm always writing
[01:25.112] About the beauties of our life and the moments that keep us smiling
[01:27.879] Looking through my feed I'm reading current events
[01:30.551] A stock ticker on the banner got my plan to invest
[01:33.397] If success is really monetary why do wealthy people
[01:36.153] Never feel at peace with their pieces they starve for c-notes
[01:39.062] So I'm aiming to be grateful with what God has given out to me
[01:41.903] I've been a starving artist in my past that's part of me
[01:44.385] Walking upon the oddities, rapping as my commodity
[01:47.271] Capturing all my images I'm finishing what ought to be
[01:50.099]
[01:50.406] We all wake up with the same amount of minutes
[01:53.158] We're navigating daily with a 24 to live it
[01:55.617] How you choose to move is your legacy, entity
[01:58.527] Loving those around you keep it heavenly, symmetry
[02:01.015]
[02:01.200] We all wake up with the same amount of minutes
[02:03.743] We're navigating daily with a 24 to live it
[02:06.373] Choose your own direction, not just to impress
[02:08.960] You never know when we are leaving with a few minutes left
[02:11.660]
[02:11.826] I drive around to places that used to mean a lot to me
[02:14.915] To see the life that changes age's like a novelty
[02:17.734] Like back in college I would walk around the campus
[02:20.259] Now the buildings represent a certain distant type of language
[02:23.128] I hear the chatter from the younger in me
[02:25.693] Who used to go to every open mic to kill an MC
[02:28.282] Who used to hustle all their music using downloaded beats
[02:31.211] Defeat was not a part of dialogues that I would just speak - peep
[02:34.471] Let's take it further down to memory lane
[02:36.109] I’m parked in front of south lake union flashing back through the waves
[02:39.348] The graves of all my past mistakes and placed in front of my face
[02:42.096] I'm forced to look 'em in the eyes, and try to not look away
[02:45.119] We've all been there no point in despair
[02:48.279] Hit the wrong attack but canceled out of it in midair
[02:50.511] As long as we alive we got the night to make the most of it
[02:53.511] Playing all my local hits, I'm chilling by the coastal tip
[02:56.510]
[02:56.795] We all wake up with the same amount of minutes
[02:59.016] We're navigating daily with a 24 to live it
[03:01.665] How you choose to move is your legacy, entity
[03:04.629] Loving those around you keep it heavenly, symmetry
[03:07.360]
[03:07.603] We all wake up with the same amount of minutes
[03:10.164] We're navigating daily with a 24 to live it
[03:12.715] Choose your own direction, not just to impress
[03:15.414] You never know when we are leaving with a few minutes left
