Time

Don't give a fuck about the money and the fame
I keep smoking as a way to numb the pain
All it takes is time
All it takes is time, yeah
I told myself no matter what that I'ma change
But I guess that game recognize game
I musta changed my mind
I musta changed my mind, yeah

Ay yo, losing is not a option, the rumor is I'm a problem
Tell my day ones pretty soon I'll be moving 'em out the projects
The truth is that most these dudes are just using whatever cards left
'Cause they soft and they all turned goofy throughout the process
I've watched it happen right in front of my eyes
You ain't a gangster most the time, that's likely just a disguise
I took a break from smoking weed, but light it up, let's get high
'Cause I won't ever let these guys try to fuck with my pride
I've worked way too hard to get here, I've faced the odds and switched gears
I've prayed to God that maybe I'll start taking off still this year, for real
But there's still obstacles I'm dodging
I was starving, every bar I carve is arson to your carcass
If you know my story then you know there's been some hardships
But the hardest part's ignoring all this darkness where my heart is
And sometimes as an artist I feel like the largest target
Since this game has made me heartless, I don't give a fuck regardless, it's Merk

Don't give a fuck about the money and the fame
I keep smoking as a way to numb the pain
All it takes is time (all it takes is time)
All it takes is time (all it takes is time), yeah
I told myself no matter what that I would change
But I guess that game recognize game
I musta changed my mind (I musta changed my mind)
I musta changed my mind (I musta changed my mind), yeah

Yo, I just lit this cigarette, when I'm staring out the window
And it's bringing back these memories of when it was so simple
So I'm cherishing this shit 'cause I'm aware that without this whole
Rap shit, I'd be staring down the barrel of a pistol
This I therapeutic mental stress relief, it keep me grounded
But often times I wonder where the fuck I'd be without it
Countless hours making music, taught me how to see my downfalls
Were just lessons that I learned to stay the fuck away from round y'all
Real shit, to be a better version of myself
I had to cut ties even if it meant I hurt everyone else
Had to be the bigger man, look past the hurt that I [?]
I became a fucking animal, emerging straight from hell
Pour out this 40 for the fallen ones, I miss y'all
My enemies keep lining up, they're not about to get far
They say they got a problem but they try not to get involved
'Cause I don't even know the person I am when I'm pissed off

Don't give a fuck about the money and the fame
I keep smoking as a way to numb the pain
All it takes is time (all it takes is time)
All it takes is time (all it takes is time), yeah
I told myself no matter what that I would change
But I guess that game recognize game
I musta changed my mind (I musta changed my mind)
I musta changed my mind (I musta changed my mind), yeah

No matter what, I can't let nobody bring me down
He ain't bringing me down, no
