Time is ticking away/
With every new day/
And every step we take/
Time is ticking away/
With every new day/
And every breath we take/

Look... I know it may sound crazy
But time is running out... Will you catch it?
Every second matters/
Every single one/
Cause what you don't know/
Is that it adds up quick/
And you won't even notice/
It's so precious I just wanna hold it/
But know this/
When I'm gone I wanna be looked at for who I was as a person/
Not for the car I drove or the house I owned/
That stuff doesn't matter/
Every day is another rung on the ladder/
And when you reach the top/
You'll know what I mean/
But I really just wanna live my dreams/
I ain't trying to make a scene/
But that's what's on my mind/
This stuff matters/
It's only a matter of time...
Time is ticking away/
With every new day/
And every step we take/
Time is ticking away/
With every new day/
And every breath we take/

After this year the world will be different/
A man who was once at the top of the world will be retiring/
But he will never be forgotten/
The impact he made on everyone will always remain/
And that is his legacy/
Many consider him the best/
Including me but I don't matter any more than the rest/
I had to get this off my chest/
Kobe Bryant is the greatest basketball player to ever live/
No one will ever match his heart
His dedication, or his skill/
And impact so many people the way he did...
I guess what I wanna say is/
Don't waste your time on stuff that doesn't matter/
Focus on the things that do/

Time is ticking away/
With every new day/
And every step we take/
Time is ticking away/
With every new day/
And every breath we take/
Time is ticking away/
With every new day/
And every step we take/
Time is ticking away/
With every new day/
And every breath we take/
