Time is of the essence, and waits for no man

Now is the time to get down with the program

It's time to get busy, it's time to get involved

You got a problem with that, it's time to get it solved

Time flys when you havin' fun, I'll be in the throne for a long time

All you haters pack a lunch, it's time to stack your funds

There comes a time to run and grab your gun

And there's a time to admit when you haven't won

Used to be nation time, but now we facin' time

Ain't no replacin' time homie, why you wastin' time?

They say time is money, and so I spend it wisely

On quality goods so with the family's where you tend to find me

If you're lookin', my people keep on pushin'

Across the bridge to another time like we did to get to Brooklyn

I climb through the windows of the mind, I unravel mysteries

Go back in history, see how I time travel





(Time) I've been racin' up this time

Tryin' my best to find my way (Time)

Change the world in just one day

Goin' crazy (Time)

I've been racin' up this time

Tryin' my best to find my way (Time)

Change the world in just one day





Take the time, rewind and make your mind up

Get on your grind, put in the work until your time's up

Like O.C. let the poetry remind ya

Of why we at the top of our game, this here is timeless

They lack the minerals and vitamins with time release

And so they try to blind you with the diamonds in they time pieces

Okay you got money and we all can see it, great

Now rhyme about somethin' time don't appreciate

You don't appreciate the time, that it take

To make a rhyme, I don't just educate or fascinate

My facts is straight, I don't exaggerate when I say

I was gettin' some head, phony rappers I decapitate

I'm gettin' my bread, kids is fed, it's time to build

It's time to find a skill, it's time to find a strength

It's time to find a will and we ain't got the time to kill, one another

They got us swallowin' all kind of pills, they tryin' to drug us

Not again, not this time





(Time) I've been racin' up this time

Tryin' my best to find my way (Time)

Change the world in just one day

Goin' crazy (Time)

I've been racin' up this time

Tryin' my best to find my way (Time)

Change the world in just one day





Yeah, it's Blacksmith, we got them classics in the pipeline

The people ready right now, this the right time

The right kind of flavor that age like a fine wine

Past, present or future, it's all in the same timeline

So currently I'm standin' on the shoulders of my ancestors

And throwin' up the sign of the times like hand gestures

The man next to the man you tryin' to stand next to

Ain't impressed by your routine, you too damn extra

It's time to start a movement, it's time to start improvin'

If everybody a pimp, then who the prostitutes

And where the hell is our solution, it's time to handle problems

It's time to stand for somethin', it's time to channel Marvin...
