TIME Lyrics by Jay Kline

First Take

2021

Hook:
I can't settle for no easy way
Sacrifice my authenticity
The approval of mankind is fake
So I stay & pray
And move Jah Way

I can’t settle for no easy way
Compromise my authenticity
The approval of mankind is fake
So I stay & pray
And move my Way

I need some patience
Know you been waiting
Feeling adjacent needing yo love
I can't replace it
All of these struggles
I gotta face it
All of yo time
I cannot waste it
God you so patient
Copy yo cadence
Broken all over
I need the maintenance
Hate when I fake it
I gotta shake it
Proceeding wit caution
I will not break it

But I break it down
Know I gotta see it from from your view
Look at you what It do
What you thinking
What's yo thoughts got a few
Everything I’m hoping I wish I never do
Know it's never worth it I'm disappointing you
God I need yo strength just to get me through the ohh
If wasn't for you I be loving on the crew
But you make me brand new you make me brand new

I can't settle for no easy way (you make me brand new)
Sacrifice my authenticity
The approval of mankind is fake
So I stay & pray
And move Jah Way

I can't settle for no easy way
Compromise my authenticity
The approval of mankind is fake
So I stay & pray
And move my Way

Refrain:
Reflect, Rewind
Know That it'll settle need a lil time
I be clearing my thoughts
Got a full mind
I been working so hard
Got a full grind
Full time Full time
Know that it'll settle need a lil time
I be clearing my thoughts
Got a full mind
I be working so hard
Got a full grind full time

THIBS:
Tick tick tick
Remember feeling
Sick sick sick
Remember evil stacking up
Like it was 666

Dropped the ball
Kicked rocks
And I picked up sticks
To get my fix
And hit my licks

Without you
Don’t know if I’d be DOA
Or KIA
On the hunt like CIA
Kept me from flying
Off the handle like its TSA
Riding w you then I know I'm gone B OK

My God I need reset
Give you my stress
You can tell me where the peace at
You take me back
Even when I relapse
If I try to run away
You still know where my feet at

My God I need reset
Give you my stress
You can tell me where the peace at
Take me back even when I relapse
I try to run and hide
You still know where my feet at

Bridge
While we on the topic of time
I can’t even give you some of mine
It's a commodity I cannot possibly
Afford to just waste all the time

'Fo I forget why I do this
And focus on units
I sold with this music
Pray I won't do some stupid
Like trusting in humans
To approve my existence

So I Reflect Rewind
You should get yours while I get mine
I be clearing my thought 4 ma piece mind
Whatever it is I love Imma give time


So I reflect rewind
Reset,Recline
Ion gotta stress imma keep mine
Whatever it is I love Imma give time
Peace sign

I can’t settle for no easy way
Sacrifice my authenticity
The approval of mankind is fake
So I stay & pray
And move Jah Way

I can't settle for no easy way
Compromise my authenticity
The approval of mankind is fake
So I stay & pray
And move my Way
