[Cam]
(Mmmmmmm m m, yeah)
I don't wanna waste no time, yeah
I don't wanna waste no bars
Write hits I think I might, yeah
I quit counting cards
I quit lookin' at the time, yeah
I learned how to play guitar
I been thinkin' 'bout my life, yeah
Doin' pretty great so far
[Patches]
I can't go a second without second-guessing
Mmmm, maybe that last line was the wrong impression
I can't go a minute without overthinking
I'll probably scrap this whole verse and start from from beginning
Staring at my timepiece, don't even feel like living
The hands move, got my mood on pendulum swinging
I try living in the moment
I'm too worried bout moments past
Let he without shadow cast
Can't travel back
But I can always find time to spend time better
Timeskip the bullshit
And never worrying bout never
No if ands or big ass
Boy, ain't I clever
Sprinkle some razzle dazz
Voila, now time can't measure
And time gets treasured
When you see it's not forever
It's high noon and high tide
So let's time blood pressure
Buh boom buh boom, I'm alive
This a time love letter
Every little moment count
So lemme time this better
Starting now
[Cam]
It's like one, two punch
Stay so fuckin' busy, I might work through lunch (work through lunch)
Used to just make beats for fun
Had to get the creases in my Air Force Ones (Air Force Ones, yeah)
Keep movin' like one, two step
Drop a song with HXRY like he said, "who's next?" (who's next?)
FedEx owes me sleep, check the mail
Hopin' no one'll talk to me if I paint my nails 'cause
I don't wanna waste no time, yeah
I don't wanna waste no bars
Write hits I think I might, yeah
I quit counting cards
I quit lookin' at the time, yeah
I learned how to play guitar
I been thinkin' 'bout my life, yeah
Doin' pretty great so far
[TYGKO]
Yo
I grip the mic with my ring on
Take a dive in the beyond
Livin', lookin' for peace
But the pieces I never keep 'em
Give the vibe to the people
I snuck inside with some pre-rolls
Gettin' high as an eagle
We're duckin', dodgin' them people
What a night (uh)
Take it one at a time (huh)
Oh my God, my sidepiece is
Talkin' to my wife (whoa)
Look and you can find me
I'm prolly with my guys (uh)
Lookin' at my timepiece
Like I think it's my time
It's my time, so
I don't wanna waste no time
I don't wanna waste no bars
I was thinkin' over my life
Doin' pretty great so far, yeah
Watch out I'm wreckin' the car
Watch out I'm changin' the form (ay)
Some shit broke my heart
It still hit me hard
Gotta keep pushin' like carts (ay)
Fuck 12, fuck Paul Blart
And the reason I got the green
'Cause I plant everything like gardens
It's a million different endings
But you can't forget where you started
You gon' grow it when it's gon' leave ya
You gon' meet someone that's gon' guard ya
It'll only 'come fruit if you pick it
Even though sometimes you don't want it
If you never take it for granted
You'll still feel doubt when it's gone
If you're honest from the start
Then you couldn't do it wrong
It'll all come true on its own
It'll all come true on its own
(and 420)

It’s somethin under me mumblin
Tellin me keep it up
But that’s redundant
Cuz I’m never thinkin to give it up
It’s like the summer
How a nigga suddenly heatin up
Put a beat in front me
It’s gonna be beaten up
No rebuttals
We been like the Beatles
Since linkin up
I'm lookin up
Linkin up the lyrics I’m thinkin of
I’m thinkin of bringin up my people
And teachin em
Recently I been spittin
Seven days of the week or more
Undefeatable obstacle
Prolly just tower over it
Show my power and let a coward get showered under it
Bout an hour from now
My superpower could activate
I prolly cash the bank out
And slap a cop right across the face
Leave it all to Tae till the anarchist is nauseated
Then I’m out the way
In a car that need a new alternator
Not an alternative rapper
I make em alter they greatest list
In the oddest of ways
Raisin me outta my grape
Better stay outta my way
Thought it was obvious
But it’s somethin I gotta say
I got some binoculars
See your bullshit a mile away
It’s like a game of Operation
Way I gotta concentrate
Spittin is my occupation
That’s the way I’ve gotten paid
I been unlockin the secrets
That’s why I don’t leave da bag, nigga
I’m a lead singer so I need da bands, nigga
When she come around me she don’t need her pants, nigga
