Time flies, time flies
As we keep living and as we keep bein' positive
All we can do is hold onto these memories
Mac Miller, I love you
All of my homies used to get on my case like, "When you 'bout to kill 'em?"
Soon as I'm out of millions and my girl sprout some children
But I've been murderin' the game, I'm almost out of victims
This food for thought usually enough to feed a thousand pigeons
I'm out here livin' if you wonder where I been though
Shit, bro, would you give it all up for these nymphos?
I been broke, then got rich
What's inside your wallet?
Half-man and half-amazin', but that's just me bein' modest
I'm an honest man
My mama told me, "Never put it on the lotto,"
And I work for everything I get, that is my motto, fam
So when I die, these bitches still can fuck my hologram
Goddamn
And all that drama that you comin' with, you blowin' my high
On my way up to the function, gettin' dome in my ride
I got 'em worried that my mind fried
I'm goin' up before I skydive
You can see the way that
(Time flies) Watch as time go
(Time flies) Time moves, time flows (Try to catch it)
(Time flies) How do we handle these things?
(Time flies) I am time (Try to catch it)
We are time and we have control
One thing we need to remember
Is that we are all in this together
Yeah
You can expect the unexpected
These dreams I manifested from my head into reality
They seem a bit excessive, but I don't stress it
Two hands to count my blessings
All the times that I've been reckless
With a ego big as Texas, thinkin', "I'm the man"
I never let these hoes inside the plan
My room for bullshit in the crib small as a child's hands
I fill the shoes and walk the path where only giants stand
I am the fireman
Shit, I'm way too fly to land, yeah
I'm smokin' weed all alone
On the road, even though I know they need me at home
Keep my control, from a city where it's freezin' and cold
Each to their own, punches like this prolly beat up Stallone
And all that drama that you comin' with, you blowin' my high
On my way up to the function, gettin' dome in my ride
I got 'em worried that my mind fried
I'm goin' up before I skydive
You can see the way that
(Time flies) One day, we will
(Time flies) We will find (Try to catch it)
(Time flies) We will conquer
(Time flies) Conquer with love (Try to catch it)
While time is on our side
Continue to hold to those beautiful memories
They won't be here forever, but our spirit lives on
Lil B
