Time Will Tell Lyrics

[Chorus]
Keep waking up in cold sweats can't get this out my mind
I pay attention to the signs cuz niggas want what's mines
Keep having dreams of niggas smiling while they shake my hand
But I can see it in they eyes they really want me dead
They talked about me, cracked jokes when daddy went to prison
In 2nd grade them teachers always talked about his sentence
Told me I'd end up just like him I was only 8
When he got out that lady handed me her mixtape

[Reprise]
I KNOW TIME WILL TELL
Time will tell who's real or fake, if u not with me then u in the way
I KNOW TIME WILL TELL
Time will tell who prayed on my downfall, most times it's the ones that's around u
I KNOW TIME WILL TELL
Time will tell which niggas gone try me, lord forgive them they just do what they all see
I KNOW TIME WILL TELL
But let me find u after all this time, u better pray that God is on your side

[Verse]
I never been a man of moderation
Find out u no good I nip it in the bud
Money talk, anything can get swept underneath the rug
I remember watchin family matters on that tv channel
When they took my pops for protecting us did my family matter?
Failure taught me everything I need to know u seen the growth
Went from grandma basement to nomination plaques by my diploma
Momma always told me finish school because she never did
Iight ma now it's time to show the world yo son got a gift
Remember I said nigga I'm the greatest and they laughed at me
Went up on my prices them niggas never got back at me
I Got a 9 to 5 got tired of asking pops for gas money
Now Uncle Sam on my ass we living good but still
[Chorus]
Wake up in cold sweats can't get this out my mind
I pay attention to the signs cuz niggas want what's mines
Keep having dreams of niggas smiling while they shake my hand But I can see it in they eyes they really want me dead
They talked about me, cracked jokes when daddy went to prison
In 2nd grade them teachers always talked about his sentence
Told me I'd end up just like him I was only 8
When he got out that lady handed me her mixtape

[Reprise]
I KNOW TIME WILL TELL
Time will tell who's real or fake, if u not with me then u in the way
I KNOW TIME WILL TELL
Time will tell who prayed on my downfall, most times it's the ones that's around u
I KNOW TIME WILL TELL
Time will tell which niggas gone try me, lord forgive them they just do what they all see
I KNOW TIME WILL TELL
But let me find u after all this time, u better pray that God is on your side

[Verse]
I hope u gotta plan B and C fa all that shit that u talk
A dog that shits fast won't shit long so I studied the art
I waited patiently kept quiet the charts will show the results
Cuz now I sit back collect royalties and watch from a far
I seen a lot of shit a black man ain't supposed to see
I seen what happens when u rich and get pulled over wit weed
My nigga ______ was doing 90 wit a zip in his dralws the officer asked for a picture claimed that it's for his daughter
I watched my patnas turn on me for a couple of shirts
That bad investment that they made lost them a life with no worries
I was never in designer free promos not my style
Crazy they always like my clothes when they find out what it's worth
[Chorus]
Keep waking up in cold sweats can't get this out my mind
I pay attention to the signs cuz niggas want what's mines
Keep having dreams of niggas smiling while they shake my hand
But I can see it in they eyes they really want me.. dead
