Time Lyrics by The Wiz (Rapper)

Wizdom

2018

[Verse 1]
For all the given tragedies tribulations calamities
I see you still standing no surprise to me tho cuz naturally
I knew you were surrounded by angels and holy faculty
You weren't sposed to make it to 25, your specialty
Was dying young, never to see the sun
But I guess you beat them odds like it was 10 to 1
And yet you far from done, like a procrastinated paper
The money came late but you whippin so where the haters
They can see you now, but keep it humble don't stumble
A lot of people get gassed like balloons and then they tumble
When some ish pops, just stay locked and brighten the room
Be a float like Led zeppelin dark side of the moon
And so true, hold these words close from me to you
Don't forget what I've been through and to whom all praises due
A long way from '92, but I can catch you up to speed
Indeed, formed in tha south with roots in Ayiti
This world I couldn't see, locked in Final Fantasy
Breaking bricks with Mario while fighting with DBZ
Of this world I couldn't be, I had to make an escape
Like hyperbolic chambers I was hiding all day
With hours fading away, my whole reality set in
School days were rough, got cut by verbal weapons
No exit in sight, I couldn't form a sentence
Had doubts in my mind, dark clouds became extended
My ending was written, and I had the pen
In this life of sin, on no one I could depend
No more use in pretending that I was kinda messed up
Felt as worthy as dust, cold nights filled with lust
Followed by days where I lay thinking I'm missing
Supposed to be a Christian, I almost forgot to mention
Yeah I always believed in God and stuff
But my faith was rough
So my walk was tough
But you know what they say, bout mysterious ways
Some nights I tried to pray, but I ain't know what to say
Like am I speaking to myself, can God really hear me
He said yes I can, but do you really fear me
My reservations always kept my heart racing
Losing my patience for time being, I'm done waiting
Hating who I was becoming, almost next to nothing
Then pulpit pulled me in and I was made into something
At the age of sixteen was the last thing I remember
No more birthdays or plays in the summers or winters
Was behind the altar, eyes closed under water
Never drowned, so my cause of death remains a bother
All they told me was the old has gone, new has come
What's done is done, you are now up under the son
So I see that we are one, you are my new self
Baptized in the spirit, born a beautiful death…
In time…
But there's a glitch in the system…
In time…
But there's a glitch in the system…
In time…
But there's a glitch in the system…
In time…
But there's a glitch in the system…
