It ain't a matter of Time, it’s a matter of time,
Before I get signed, baby, it’s a matter of mine,
What’s a matter, we tryin, what’s a matter you tired,
What’s a matter you don’t believe in a dream, well fine,
But when you met me, you thought I was a helluva find,
I ain’t gone lie, I thought you was hella fine,
And when you made that decision to be by my side,
With shady people looking an watchin hopin we die,
And now we find ourselves in a hellofa bind,
I’m doin what I’m best at, with all of my time,
But time tickin and you thinking, I should be doin my 9
To 5, more instead of writing these lines,
But when you finally decided to be by my side,
You was down to ride, like Bonnie and clyde,
Sorry for the cliché, but these days your eyes,
Look pissed and defeated like I sacrificed
Time we could spent together: Hopin we rise
Open your eyes damn it, I need you, ride or die,
Sink or fly, shotgun in the front Or passerby,
Homeboys telling me son, Pass her by…
She don’t get it, she won’t get it, an I see you cry,
An it kills my pride, my princess bride,
Don’t ask me why, I stay up at nights,
Punchin words into this screen, Spitting on this mike,
Clicking away at odd hours till the shit sound tight,
Not tight enough yet, nope, still not right
Still not quite, that sound, still not bright
Momma didn’t understand, an still she like
Your Poppa wouldn’t understand, nope him neither,
An You say you love, but it’s hard to believe ya!
It’s harder to leave ya’, I don’t wanna murder us,
Be left alone to grieve ya’, but baby it's treason
to turn your back on your heart and listen to reason
ya boy ain't pleadin, he statin the facts
an if you leaves now, I ain't plan on on taking you back
I'm takin you back, I'm takin you back
Here's another one, I lost takin a crack
Swinging the bat back till I lie flat on my back
And she gone when I revive, so long, you was a dime
Till I wore you down to a nickel, the change is mine.
