Lyrical Analysis of...
Time Went By
- (Verse 1)
- wake up every morning and I stay inside my room
- wishin' I was inspired, but my soul's like a vacuum
- the best part of life is experienced inside the classroom
- it's depressing, but it's the only thing I look forward to
- never mind, it's gone because I moved somewhere else
- nobody in this school realizes that they're blessed
- this is the antidote to get things off my chest
- and I'm stressed, so I rap in an attempt to manifest
- all the pain and the hatred that's stored inside my soul
- it's a hate expresser, and also a good payroll
- this feeling in my head may be a result of my morality
- attempting to fly away, but I'm down to earth like gravity
- I truly wish I was a person who felt the value in life
- but honestly I don't, so give me the grim reaper's scythe
- suicide's not the answer, body's full of tranquility
- this dream could be within the realm of possibility
- (Hook)
- I waited,
- I waited,
- Time went by
- All I can do is cry
- Silly
- Silly
- I waited,
- I waited,
- Time went by
- All I can do is cry
- Silly
- Silly
- (Verse 2)
- How many times do I try before I succeed
- I'm losing all of my determination to proceed
- I thought I was gonna win, I thought it was guarenteed
- it must have been a burst, now I'm beginning to concede
- just a dream, couldn't see, now I'm a terrible place
- drive and my ability has now been replaced
- with a doubt, hesitation, that I'm not able to squelch
- thought I'd be fine without experience under my belt
- unfortunately, that's not how the world works
- full of cowards and jerks, livin' under fireworks
- guess being a selfish person indeed has its perks
- because the world doesn't focus on nouns, but on verbs
- worries about what you do, and not how you do it
- that's society not me, so I'mma do it through it
- It's the philosophy of quality over quantity
- don't wanna be, nothing in my path has a chance of stopping me
- (Hook)
- I waited,
- I waited,
- Time went by
- All I can do is cry
- Silly
- Silly
- I waited,
- I waited,
- Time went by
- All I can do is cry
- Silly
- Silly
- (Verse 3)
- I'm on a path to redeem everything i knew
- the confidence I have in myself now is overdue
- this is what you receive when you fully try to pursue
- what you need, and I know it as well as you
- that you'll never make it if you don't continue
- to spit bars, I've expanded my avenue
- proof of my victory is this crown atop of my head
- remember it like yesterday, connecting all the threads
- and the dread, seeping in, every single day
- my mind was doubting itself in every single way
- I guess it worked out, man everything's ok
- so you people out there, don't give up and grind away
- stop listening to yourself, mind's leading you astray
- nobody's against you, say what you wanna say
- when you write, you're free, so just close your eyes and fly
- you'll be in my place, wondering how the time went by
- (Hook)
- I waited,
- I waited,
- Time went by
- All I can do is cry
- Silly
- Silly
- I waited,
- I waited,
- Time went by
- All I can do is cry
- Silly
- Silly
