Time gives legitimacy to its existence Time is the only true unit of measure It gives proof to the existence of matter Without time we don’t exist Don’t blink, no Gotta stay woke Time keeps slipping, I don’t want wanna die broke Don't sleep, no Hold it in close Soak it all up 'cause life is too short Don't blink (Don't blink) Don't blink (Don't blink) I've been sitting here Same shit different year Every day the grim reaper gets a little nearer I think its weird though, how the time flies Its not fair that I'm here, while my friends die I’m a - I’m a live it for them I won’t waste a second now I won’t ever skip a meal again I’m eating seconds now Live it to the fullest for my brothers Tom and Iyayi (E.I.) Til I D-I-E, I swear I won’t forget that time is precious now I don’t wanna close my eyes I just wanna know where my soul is I don’t wanna end this night All we got now is the moment I know my mama told me Back when I was a shorty That if I wasn’t careful My life would pass before me She felt like I was born Just like a week ago And there I was before her At 17 years old I'ma- I'ma live it for her I won’t waste a second though Sacrificed her life to give me fortunes that she’d never know She told me that its cold, but its life though Don’t blink baby boy, never keep ya eyes closed I don’t wanna close my eyes I just wanna know where my soul is I dont wanna end this night All we got now is the moment I said don’t blink Don't cry Don't close Your eyes I said don’t blink Don't cry Don't close Your eyes So keep ya eyes on the time 'Cause it's gone before ya know it
