paintriiip - I WISH I COULD BUY MY TIME Lyrics

I've been waiting too long
I don't see no sign, I'm singing my songs
Hoping I will get to see a day
Where everything is lovely and my people all safe
What am I supposed to do when I
Have nowhere to go, do I keep it all inside?
Oh my, my oh my
I wish I could buy my time, yeah

Tired of working, as a servant, purposeless while on this Earth
It's sickening to think this is the life we live cause on the surface
No one ever says a word cause if we do they're quick to burn us
In a furnace, am I worthless if I don't give them my service?
Take it how you wanna, I'm just honest, on my momma
Imma die for this, cause I despise the way that we was brought up
Getting caught up in distractions, false promises and drama
They call this shit the wave because the waves is how they got us
Oh my god, they playing god too (True!)
They feed us lies, really dawg that shit is not food
We eat it up and eat it up until we're all obese enough
Depleting us, till we erupt, disposable? They need us bruh
We just some slaves without a clue of what we were supposed to
Scary but you know it's true, for us and all those close to you
Doing what we're told to do, free will is them controlling you
I think that I want out, the only way to win this game is lose

I've been waiting too long
I don't see no sign, I'm singing my songs
Hoping I will get to see a day
Where everything is lovely and my people all safe
What am I supposed to do when I
Have nowhere to go, do I keep it all inside?
Oh my, my oh my
I wish I could buy my time

This the kind of shit that make you think and get depressed
And you can't talk about no winning when this world is such a mess
And you know you don't just win and say motherf*ck the rest
That ain't in you, but continue with that confidence in your chest
Your life is worth more than those checks
And caring about being up next
All you want is peace of mind, dawg please align, don't jeopardize the whole quest
You ain't even halfway done, so forget that
When you fumble it, take a minute, step back
Reassess, then progress don't see it as a setback
This is how you learn, ain't no time to regret that
There ain't much you could change by yourself
Accept it, don't get overwhelmed
But don't be defeated, cause that only means you need a team, we all need some help
It's okay if the world isn't ready, not everyone is, you once weren't either
Don't call them a sheep, if they all still asleep, why don't you be the leader huh?
You got a lot of heart kid I'll give you that
Give the world some love, it'll give it back
But give it to yourself, ain't no shame in that
You only got one life, don't you play with that
You might not be forever but your impact will
All you gotta do is hit them with that real
But don't compromise for the lies in disguise
Be wise, you don't really wanna spin that wheel

I've been waiting too long
I don't see no sign, I'm singing my songs
Hoping I will get to see a day
Where everything is lovely and my people all safe
What am I supposed to do when I
Have nowhere to go, do I keep it all inside?
Oh my, my oh my
I wish I could buy my time
