2Dre - Before My Time Lyrics

I'm on the move tryna figure what's next
Focused on go, ain't been around
'Member I used to be scared of the risk
Stepped out on faith, look at me now
Brodie said go, stay on the grind
If you stay locked, greatness is bound
And I gave em my word I ain't letting him down
I was deep inna mud, started to sink, then I was found
Aim for the day that I walk through the gates
Facing the Lord, getting my crown
No letting up, day that I rest
Day I lay 6 feet deep in that ground
Day I lay 6 feet deep in that uh

Hop inna booth, speak from the mind
Wasn't my plan, all up to God
Bringing the real, killed the facade
Humbled myself tucking my pride
Show it don't talk, words of the wise
Gotta go through the fire
12/31, day left me scarred
Wish it ain't happen, R.I.P Maad
Hold on, Okay
Weight on my ain't ducking no smoke
It's ain't no cap was down to my last
Got back in mode now I'm on go
It ain't no question I do it for Yah
And for the fam, also for bro
And for the soldiers, holding it down
Walking in truth, hundred fasho

Taking all shots, you know I'm gonna risk it
Build from the bottom straight to the top
Ain't doing no deals, no I ain't Risky
Play it real cool but don't play on business
Stuck in my lane and no I can't switch it
You know the timing up on a mission
You know the timing up on a uh
Lotta nights really could've been my last
So I'm steady stepping that's my explanation
Preparation and some dedication
If you master that you'll see the elevation
About the journey, not the destination
Can't rush the grind, better have some patience
Chasing greatness, I don't chase the paper
Ain't no letting up until my expiration, on go

I had to learn don't get stuck in the past
Whatever is written, you cannot rewind
Used to be itching so bad for the smoke
Mess around give up my last for a dime
They be playing for keeps, I play for the king
Ain't switching my side
I was laid back tryna wait for the green
Looking back now I seen plenty of signs
Put it in motion, don't like to talk
Whatever I feel I just put in them rhymes
It ain't for certain that this is my route
But how I'm gon' know if I ain't gon' try
Least I could say I done gave it to God
And gave it my all 'fore it's my time
