Yes I did (what I do?)
Living proof (it is done)
I am he (can't you see?)
And it is time (tick tock)
So why not you? (and why not me?)
I'm seeing signs (signs signs)
I see the light (light light)
Yeah, this is the life of JT
This the life of a star
People saying that I'm he, mama, yes I've come so far
I was born in time, or at least, that's what they say
Truth be told I saw a flash
I don't remember much about that day
It's life, then death
Of course, yes I know who I am
And now I know why I stand
I ran, before I walked
I planned, yes before I talked
In school, I remember the teachers taught
Couldn't pass a test, but I wrote a lot Backpack it was filled with thoughts
By third grade I was ready to drop
Yes I did (what I do?)
Living proof (it is done)
I am he (can't you see?)
And it is time (tick tock)
So why not you? (and why not me?)
I'm seeing signs (signs signs)
I see the light (light light)
My first job was slinging nails
Brother, I was only ten
Never had a summer to play
I had that cash to bring in
Tina told me to enjoy my youth "Cause son, it goes by quick"
I remember at her service thinking
"JT, yeah, it sure nuff did"
It's life, yes then death, I will die, but then I live...
Whoa, now I am a man, my brother And I stand on business
Yes they ask me what I do
And I say I live, for a living now
I'm not worried about stacking racks
I'm just focused on the facts
My whole life bruh, I've never lacked, so take some time and think on that
Yes I did (what I do?)
Living proof (it is done)
I am he (can't you see?)
And it is time (tick tock)
So why not you? (and why not me?)
I'm seeing signs (signs signs)
I see the light (light light)
Growing up life was hard
But I found out that I'm harder
Yes I fell off in the deep end and now
I'm like a shark in water
It's not gambling, when you're winning
I've been praying, more than sinning It don't matter how you start, but how you finish...
Now I live, or at least I feel
Yes I think, I guess we'll see...
