What goes around comes around, at least that's what I'm told
Well that good karma better come around full circle
Cause I feel like it's time, no it's been time
Time for me to get it cause I deserve it, still trying to figure out if it's worth it
Makes me nervous when my options are to just do it or blow it
But with self assurance like mine, yeah you probably wouldn't known it
Listening to these thoughts that keep me up at night
Cause if you're losing sleep over it, then it's gotta be worth something, right?
Naw I'm just tired, tired of losing sleep on the same old things
Cause it's a living nightmare when I'm not living my dream
Lately life been handing me lemons and I'm trying to turn them into gold
My life's a papier-mâché, now watch the story unfold
So now I'm up, way up, so high, my ears about to pop
I guess the wind blows the hardest the closer you get to the mountain top
No, it's not cocky, it's confidence, came before I had the ego
In the spotlight, spotlight, I'm high demand, no pay-per-view though
Seems like everyone around me wants my company, what do you want from me?
My time ain't free, been up for 20 hours, running on 3
Just wondering if I did something wrong or if my time ain't here yet
I'm reaping what I'm sowing and it's rewarding, best believe that
When they see me on they screen, they like "ooo boy you did it"
But it's in my genes, I ain't have to get sized up and fitted
People believe in me more than I do myself, that's backwards
And God believes in me more than I do in Him, how does that work?
I feel I'm playing catch up but can't muster up no courage
Cause I ain't tryna get let left behind just paying off bills and mortgage
I swear, I swear I'm not content with a 9 to 5, I need to feel alive
I guess I'm bout to clock in and do work, I'm going in, it's Primetime
I thought I had it figured out just for me to only end up back here
I guess I gotta tough it out, plan it out, one thing I can't do is just wait it out here
It's the right time for Primetime
(Yeah, ain't no better time than now)
How do expect to stay versatile with the same old style?
How do you expect to get where you going if you not moving now?
You stuck in the same mind frame, playing mind games
Gon and chase your pleasure even if it brings pain
How do you spend your energy? Do you even know what that cost?
How do you friend your enemies? Have you really gained more than you've lost?
I wish I had a team so we could plot about success
People swear they got the class but can't see them passing the test
How much wood would a woodchuck really chuck if it could chuck wood?
It don't matter, the moral is it first had to believe it could
Never underestimate you, never sell your self wealth
And no I'm not just telling you, I have to keep telling myself
Just take a look at my growth, my head in the clouds
My life at its prime, no haters allowed
They might make me proud to know that if they doing what they doing then I'm doing it right
Cause even when you're in shadows, you know there's gotta be light
Look, I'm all about fair time, so when it's your time, take your time
When it's my time, I'ma get mine, if you meeting me, it's at the goal line
Took the narrow road, no wide gates, you either right in front or you left behind
Just don't forget that primetime is the tagline, you feel me?
I thought I had it figured out just for me to only end up back here
I guess I gotta tough it out, plan it out, one thing I can't do is just wait it out here
It's the right time for Primetime
(Yeah, ain't no better time than now)
Stay motivated, stay focused, wake up everyday with a purpose
It's primetime for all of us, DONNCHAM
(Just another one of those nights)
(I guess it's just another one of those nights)
