Change of the Guard

[Chorus]
T-t-time, time, time for a change of the guard
T-t-time for a change of the guard
T-t-time, time, time for a change of the guard
T-t-time for a change of the guard

[Verse 1]
Thoughts inside of my head is enough to scare the Devil
Diggin' my own grave with two hands on the shovel
A hand through the rubble, I ran through the tunnels
A million rappers out tryna cram through the funnel
I quit the politickin' and started kickin' the shit I feel
You don't have to like it, but you can't tell me this ain't real
My musical reflection and my mеntal state
I really party, I don't feel the need to cеlebrate
I'm tryna fill up four dinner plates every day
If it don't pay, I give a fuck about what you say
You rappers payin' for attention
Motherfuckers never learn if only you paid attention, it's priceless
Blessing's a blessing, a freedom of expression
These cats out here gettin' paid for pretending
So many astray, so far away from the essence
As long as I'm doing me, I remain in the center

[Chorus]
T-t-time, time, time for a change of the guard
T-t-time for a change of the guard
T-t-time, time, time for a change of the guard
T-t-time for a change of the guard

[Verse 2]
Truthfully I really do this music for me
This is more than just a song it's a demon released
Fuck the skills and the rap if you want me to rhyme
You gon' pay me for my time and the value is high
I keep to myself I don't care if I ever blow
I ain't trippping noticing your million on a video
That be nice but I ain't holdin' my breath
I ain't got no one behind me with the door to invest
Yeah I'm making good money but it go to the kids
It ain't easy to be an artist but you still gotta live
But when it come to really spittin' I still got a lot to give
If they notice me, cool, if not, I'm still doin' my shit
So many rappers get discouraged and quit
It only shows that their heart wasn't truly with the shit
But mine is, I rap 'til I'm physically unable to
Hip hop's a drug, I'm only here to enable you

[Chorus]
T-t-time, time, time for a change of the guard
T-t-time for a change of the guard
T-t-time, time, time for a change of the guard
T-t-time for a change of the guard

[Verse 3]
Trust me, I'm very comfortable in my skin
I know what I can do and I know who I am
That's why the hatred you sling don't faze me at all
Especially on the Internet where you ain't got the balls
To say it to my face, you sing behind a flat screen
You think about me that much, it's honestly flattering
Don't think that if we ever cross paths that I won't bust that shit or whoop that ass
I got my own grind I stay in my own lane
I'm a grown-ass man, no time for your games
A true champ fights on and shows no pain
Don't be mad at me 'cause nobody knows your name
I just doin' my thing regardless of what anybody think
Underground been with my shit since I dropped on the brink
A stray killer behind the bars, no penitentiary
Open the flame burn out eventually, I been rockin' for centuries

[Chorus]
T-t-time, time, time for a change of the guard
T-t-time for a change of the guard
T-t-time, time, time for a change of the guard
T-t-time for a change of the guard
