My Time Lyrics

[HOOK]
They tried to tell me
I'd never make it but I did
You don't know the struggle in life
That I lived
I look and smile at them haters
Cuz I know it's my time
Know it's my time
Yes it's my time...

[VERSE 1]
I been hated on and doubted
But never bitter about it
Just sittin and jotting patient
I knew this shit was so crowded
Then got my chance made the best of it
Shined with the best of em
Some even bested him
Now nino blesses em
On NINO, care if I sell a million records or none
Or if they always say I'm second to pun
Whatever's destined to come
I'm just glad I can let you hear these rhymes
From a pad and I made moms and dad proud
Made it out the ghetto survived
Shit I'm alive
That's good enough when I think of my life
My life
Growing up young wasn't looking hot
Many locked up dead or set up by a crooked cop
That's brooklyn ock
Pops lived by a hooker spot
Seen a close friend drop when he took the shot
So how could it phase me if I'm in some group or not
Yo, you think I really give a hoot if your coupe is dropped?
Nigga, I'm just glad that the soup is hot
Glad the roof over my head
And I could look at pops
Like dad I did it legit
Hustled as a Jit
Know you and mama suffered so I had to quit
I'm grown changed for the better
These are the things at
Make me not rap for the cheddar
Or a chain and
I might not be doing it up in your eyes dog
I'm a success to myself that means a lot more

[HOOK]
They tried to tell me
I'd never make it but I did
You don't know the struggle in life
That I lived
I look and smile at them haters
Cuz I know it's my time
Know it's my time
Yes it's my time...
They tried to tell me I'd never make it but I did
You don't know the struggle in life
That I lived
I look and smile at them haters
Cuz I know it's my time
Know it's my time
Yes it's my time...

[VERSE 2]
I made my decision that's it
There's no second guessing
Leaving stress in this booth
That some of you connect with
See the essence of truth
Is that you won't lose the message
I ain't recession proof
I'm more like proof there's a recession
Lesson learned less is earned
When you go this route
Bless is firm and determined
Through all the doubt
You put me down but look now
How I put it down
I stood my ground thru the worst
Look how good it sounds
As a child seen things
Pops tried fightin
Coke sniffin
Those addictions had moms frightened
What you know about your pockets light and
Wearing LA gears
6 months after they stopped lighting
In hindsight it messed with my mind
But with faith
I aced and breezed through the test of time
Listen I'm
A product of my environment
So don't mind the stress
Just tryna live while defying the odds that I'm against

[HOOK]
I could feel it it's my time now...
Can't explain the feeling just gotta grind now
So close and I could feel it
Like I know it's my time
Know it's my time
Yes it's my time
They tried to tell me
I'd never make it but I did
You don't know the struggle in life
That I lived
I look and smile at them haters
Cuz I know it's my time
Know it's my time
Yes it's my time...
They tried to tell me
I'd never make it but I did
You don't know the struggle in life
That I lived
I look and smile at them haters
Cuz I know it's my time, Know it's my time
Yes it's my time
