Aye yo I'm building up a dynasty
Entirely from knowledge I'm acquiring
But not from all the ivy leagues
I'm intrigued in things that can inspire me
And I relieve the stress of all the people who rely on me
Cuz I can see the silver lining
Filled with diamonds
And even in the darkest times I can see it shining
I ain't ever leaving the island
Keeping it private mining the diamonds
Biding my time and I'm liable to find 'em
I'm gonna line 'em up
I'm gonna ride my gut
Yeah, I'm gonna trust it
Fill my bag 'till I bust it
Get more
Cry about spilled milk
What for
Leave ya damn guilt trip sitting at the door man
I spit it from the core yeah
Yo, I ain't even got much time left but I digress everyday
I don't know about that god mess but I confess all the pain
Yeah, all the pain that I got inside
I question why mine gotta die
I'm the one alive
I ain't never been the one to go run and hide when the bullets fly
You don't know
Where you'll be
Time to go
Time to leave
You don't know
When it's time
Everything is left behind when you go
Yeah
You don't know
When the reaper comes to get ya
He'll be creeping if you let him
He'll be breathing down ya neck
Ya gotta keep it in perspective
You don't know
When you'll go
You don't know
When it's time, we all gon' die
We all got a ticket to punch
One life and you living it once
You ain't given the funds you ain't given the help nah
Gotta live it yourself, don't limit yourself
But don't sell out when you getting some wealth
You gotta live with yourself
Yeah
Break the law but don't break the laws that you stand for in your heart
Make an offer, I'm taking off when you ain't playing yo part, yeah
Look, we all gon' die
But some leave a lot behind
And death is an equalizer it teaches liars they not divine
No compromise but they falsify what they prophesize
And they multiply till my mother f*ckin pulse is high
I just wanna slow it down for a minute
I just wanna slow it down
I just wanna slow it down for a minute
I'm getting ready for another round
Yeah I'm getting ready for that round two
I'm getting the f*ck from around you
I left my hometown so I could see what I would amount to
Ain't looking back at my crooked past
My foot on the gas am I wrong
You can ask the people that I left behind
If they really care when I'm gone
You don't know
Where you'll be
Time to go
Time to leave
You don't know
When it's time
Everything is left behind when you go
Yeah
You don't know
When the reaper comes to get ya
He'll be creeping if you let him
He'll be breathing down ya neck
Ya gotta keep it in perspective
You don't know
When you'll go
You don't know
When it's time, we all gon' die
