[Verse 1: Time]
Bet on patience, bet on yourself, keep the gold, discipline is wealth
Knowledge of self, if you don't know that, then you just know hate and guilt
But we never gave up, no milk in my coffee only a cup of patience
Reflecting on my mistakes, so I could quit this day shift
I’ve been rapping since I was 13, 20 years I been working
My whole life I've been searching, for my dreams to become a sure thing
Last year we were on vice, we were on vice, yeah that's right
You got to pay your dues, sometimes a decade is the price
Some are looking for coupons, some are looking for discounts
Some are buying followers, on experience they missed out
Some treat comments like they're comets, no likes and then they vomit
But just be you and stay true, writing rap songs like they're sonnets
Like, if you need to take some time you don't need to fill the bar
Like, you don't need to go triple time on every track just to be a star
Haste makes waste is what they used to tell me in the kitchen
Never knew I was learning life lessons when I was washing dishes
No need to bluff when times are tough, I promise you can make it
No need to rush, no need to rush, just bet on patience

Plant the letters in the paper
Water them with patience
Watch them sprout
Watch them bloom all over the nation
