The penultimate track on Jay Prince’s mixtape, Late Summers is a chilled, soulful song where Jay gives us a reflection on his own life and an insight into his emotions.
[Intro]
Yeah, woo
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling good
[Verse 1]
Check, I take two steps forward and I pray for the best
I let the rest take action, I ain't tryna impress
I ain't tryna kill the motion but the work has the emotion of a man once broken by the choke with the rope
I watch 'em gloat
Sensitivity just does not sell
'Long as you talk about the homies that just made bail
About the chains on your neck
About the women you smash
And everything about nothing that matters enough
I mean, what's really real?
Late nights at London with the coldest chill
I love the thrill
I hate the thrill of almost losing it all
My future baby momma's momma dropping me, gave me a real life
[Chorus: Mahalia & Jay Prince]
Ain't no time like the present, let it all out
Ain't nothing like a blessing, what I'm about
And I believe in you, you believe in you
Ain't no time like the present
I believe in blessings
I believe in you
[Verse 2]
Bad habits, addicted to insecurities
No confirmation like loving yourself
We don't need anybody tell you what's good for yourself
Life swings right, swing left
I bring light to my death
The enemy was the enemy of my progress
Only time tells stories of my journey
But that's man-made and hand-made
Ain't nothing like your heart speaking truth
A standing true testament to this man-made time
See this land ain't yours, and this land ain't mine
It's for everybody, we've just gotta deal with the fights
But really, where is the justice? And really what is it worth?
If we're all gonna die
I be speaking the truth
And I won't tell you no lie
Just go open your mind
Just go open your eyes
Ain't no time like the present
And I believe in blessings
[Chorus: Mahalia & Jay Prince]
Ain't no time like the present, let it all out
Ain't nothing like a blessing, what I'm about
And I believe in you, you believe in you
Ain't no time like the present
I believe in blessings
I believe in you
Let it all out
Ain't nothing like a blessing, what I'm about
And I believe in you (I believe in you), you believe in you
Ain't no time like the present
I believe in blessings
I believe in you
Let it all out
Ain't nothing like a blessing, what I'm about
And I believe in you, you believe in you
Ain't no time like the present (ain't no time like the present)
I believe in blessings
I believe in you (and you, you)
I believe in you (but I believe in you, what I believe in, what I believe in)
I believe in you (but I believe in you, but I believe in you, but I-)
Ain't no time like the present
I believe in blessings (see, look)
I believe in you
[Outro]
I take two steps forward and I pray for the best
I let the rest take action, I ain't tryna impress
I ain't tryna kill the motion but the work has the emotions of a man once broken by the choke with the rope
I watch 'em gloat
Sensitivity just does not sell
'Long as you talk the about homies that just made bell
About the chains on your neck
About the women you smash
And everything about nothing that matters enough
I mean, what's really real?
Late nights in London with the coldest chill
I love the thrill
I hate the thrill of almost losing it all
My future baby momma's momma dropping me [gave me?] real life
I've been blessed since the day I came to life, wait
Bad habits, addicted to insecurities
There's no confirmation like loving yourself
'Cause you don't need anybody to tell you what's good for yourself
My life swings right, swings left
I bring light to my death
The enemy who was the enemy of my progress
Only time tells stories of my journey
But that's man-made and hand-made
Ain't nothing like your heart speaking truth
A standing true to the testament to this man-made time
See this land ain't yours, and this land ain't mine
It's for everybody, we've just gotta deal with the fights
But really, where is the justice? And really what is it all worth?
If we're all gonna die
I be speaking the truth
And I won't tell you no lie
Just go open your mind
Just go open your eyes
Ain't no time like the present
And I believe in blessings
I believe in, you
