Lyrics June 17th - T Hil

Pay now and play later
The day that I learned bout that quotable was a game changer
Grew up inside a mediocre town with some mediocre clowns
Now they the ones who ended up paying later
Like life is short
But it's long enough to make your decisions
Like raising some children
Or workin hard to make you a killing
Everything's a sacrifice and I ready and willing
To drop all my bad habits and get straight to the winnings
For me it's still first inning
I could hit but just enough to get to first base
I could run just fast enough to land in first place
But I wan' be great I mean king is part of my birth name
It's destiny
Was making music since a toddler this is meant to be
Always had the power to change moods
Before a well versed tune was the was main tool
Before me being myself was the main rule
Now I can't lose
I was 18 doin some things I shouldn't do until I turn 32
Yo bitch is dirty too
So what that tell me bout you
I could go on and on no Erykah to Badu
Used to say not it but now we sayin not you
Cancelled like a bad season
Or a bad reason
I wish the bitches I was crushing on had meaning
I wish that I could know my future wish that I could see it
But seeing is believing I'll stick to what I believe in

Father God I think You for this day and for this life
I know I am not perfect but I'm tryna do things right
Had people I called brothers turn and stab me with a knife
Suppressing this revenge and all this evil in my mind
Father God I thank You for this life and for this day
I learned to play the game but I swear it ain't the same
Too many switching sides there's too many switching lanes
I'm grateful that You showed me the ones who will never change

Passing time playing chess is all bout strategy
She mad at me
Fucked her one time and now she casually attached to me
They saying I'm the best I'm not surprised because I had to be
Hard work beats natural talent I be workin hard naturally
Shoutout to Yzzy, Monty, MJ, and to Nathalie
They met me through the music
They knew I could do it
I got ppl who believe that's why I keep pursuing
And whatever's not for you, life has a way of undoing
But this shoe fits
Had a starter kit since the start of it
If music was a person boy I bet I'd be the heart of it
I got some friends together now we workin on our marketing
Been two years ain't with the same ppl that I started with
I built a good foundation I ain't know I was an architect
That's cuz this is bigger than me
So I keep my hittas with me
Life's a puzzle and this picture's gettin clearer
I just pray in the end I know the person in the mirror for real

Father God I think You for this day and for this life
I know I am not perfect but I'm tryna do things right
Had people I called brothers turn and stab me with a knife
Suppressing this revenge and all this evil in my mind
Father God I thank You for this life and for this day
I learned to play the game but I swear it ain't the same
Too many switching sides there's too many switching lanes
I'm grateful that You showed me the ones who will never change
