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

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

I waited,

I waited,

Time went by

All I can do is cry

(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

I waited,
