Time (Went Away) Lyrics by Prince TJ

NOKO: The Return

2022

[Hook]
Went away for some time but now I'm coming back
I just needed the time just to get myself right
Dedicated to music, I couldn't just quit
Especially after the point I've just hit
When I hit my hay, I imagine the fame
The fanciest house and the flashiest watches
I'm tryna make money cus money is making me think of it
One thing always on my mind
[Verse 1]
All these rappers get fame just for rapping bout stuff
That they know that they really ain't living
But rappers like me don't get ears
And I'm putting soul and my hеart into this
It would be a surprise if I evеr blew up
A boy from a small town, you wouldn't imagine
You wouldn't believe it like it was a magic trick
I'm back on my grind so I gotta do better
This a song that I wrote on the back of the bus
I know I been slow but the process, just trust
The money don't come in until the fame does
I'm an anonymous artist, still know in the school
They know me as TJ, that was my real nickname
Friends know me as Tabs, that's the name that they gave me
Westside rapper, but I'm from the south
Irrelevantly small place to ask about
Surprisingly I was still able to fit in
Considered the fact I was black in a pool full of white
There was no fight about that
We was just joking and chilling and that
Until some just started getting too big for their shoe
But you know me back then I was scared to say anything else
But now whatever I say, I'ma say it
I'm pushing through hate and now they will hate it
[Verse 2]
Coming with something, it's better than nothing
I only need one thing and that is myself
I put mind in this ting like Matilda
I craft like a builder, like Bob, yes I can
See I'm like the man, can't hide away from my haters
I'll be damned if I let someone make me give up
I'm focusing on growing my work like farmer
Fought my demons and beat them, no armour
Manifest all of my thoughts, they appear in my sights
Brighten my life like some lights
I became confident after a couple of failures
That's all it ever really took
I'm tryna work my way up to the top
Just like my dad how he became a boss
This rap is a part of me, flow through my arteries
Only the start of a journey that I'ma continue
[Verse 3]
Like a sequel of your favourite film
Pick up where I paused, work on my flaw
I'm fourteen hitting fifteen
And I'm tryna see things I ain't ever seen before
I'm a small town boy with big dreams
And I'm tryna raise them to the extreme
I wanted my voice to be heard
Just know that's my word
I was unknown like your favourite song on the radio
But now as you can see, I'm getting ears from my peers
Especially the ones, who supported me
From day one and forth
I breathe independence like July the fourth
I'm a star but I been at war like May the fourth
And I won cus I didn't use no force
Now I'm back on track to this rapping
[Verse 4]
I better not stop this time
To become a legend it take some time
Last year on 21st of July, I started to shoot up more
But I had room to improve a little further
Always felt so low cus I couldn't fit in
But now, like J I'm riding solo
Riding solo, riding solo
Like Jason Derulo, riding solo
[Hook]
Went away for some time but now I'm coming back
I just needed the time just to get myself right
Dedicated to music, I couldn't just quit
Especially after the point I've just hit
When I hit my hay, I imagine the fame
The fanciest house and the flashiest watches
I'm tryna make money cus money is making me...
