Now Or Never |
Everything’s changing around me |
And I want to change too |
It’s one thing I know |
It ain’t cool being no fool |
I feel different today |
I don’t know what else to say |
But I’ma get my shit together |
It’s now or never |
(Now or never, now or never) |
(Now or never, now or never) |
Uhh, I’m sick, sick of waiting in vain, tired of playing the game |
Thinking of making a change, finally breaking the chains |
Every phase, every happening craze |
When it’s said and done, my head is right back in a haze |
I’m ready for the next chapter and page to start acting my age |
And part ways with Black Thought from back in the days |
I’m stargazing from the back of the stage |
Questioning if who y’all praise is worthy of praise |
What’s the phrase «bygones is bygones?» |
Niggas who used to be the underdogs is icons |
People say the light shines once in a lifetime |
Is this midlife kind a crisis a little bit like mine? |
I’m thinking not now but right now |
I need some kinda sign that the future is bright now |
I fuck around, do the right thing like Spike now |
The quick and the dead, which one is my lookalike now? |
I’m moving ahead |
Everything’s changing around me |
And I want to change too |
It’s one thing I know |
It ain’t cool being no fool |
I feel different today |
I don’t know what else to say |
But I’ma get my shit together |
It’s now or never |
(Now or never, now or never) |
(Now or never, now or never) |
Yo, opportunities lost because I blew them |
On the sunniest days of my life, I cried through them |
Mom was out the picture, and pops, I barely knew him |
And I would pray to God but I’m tired of lying to him |
Tired of tryna run from the things inside of us |
Got a lot of fam and a lot of admirers |
Who tell me that I should aspire to be changed |
But when I think of changing, it’s like, 'Why even try this shit?' |
My mind hazy and my thoughts, they get distorted |
I know my good and bad deeds both get recorded |
You do right so your soul can last |
But my role is cast before I even audition for it |
So I don’t really see an end to my vice |
It’s just false reformation, no end of my strife |
Feel the evil overpowering, you can go ahead, throw the towel in |
Cause nigga, that’s the end of the fight |
When you can only see the tunnel at the end of the light |
Lights out, party over, it’s the end of your life |
And I’m out |
Everything’s changing around me |
And I want to change too |
It’s one thing I know |
It ain’t cool being no fool |
I feel different today |
I don’t know what else to say |
But I’ma get my shit together |
It’s now or never |
(Now or never, now or never) |
(Now or never, now or never) |
When I look into the mirror and see my own image |
It feel like there’s something else far in the distance |
Something I wanna see, but something that’s resistant |
And every day, the haunting is growing more persistent |
I never noticed it before, but now I can’t miss it |
And the constant pounding’s driving me ballistic |
I ran from it for years, but it’s still next to me |
And it’s growing stronger, taking even less of me |
I can’t fight it now, I know it’s just destiny |
And I just wonder what’s gon' happen when it catches me |
Will it leave me face down in the Chesapeake? |
Or will it just start bringing out the best in me? |
But is the best in me really just the worst in me? |
And if so, yesterday could be my anniversary |
In sinner’s court, sip port and have church with me |
I’m trying to get rid of these ghosts that’s cursing me |
I’m feeling change is an absolute certainty |
Cause what’s going on is a state of emergency |
Everything’s changing around me |
And I want to change too |
It’s one thing I know |
It ain’t cool being no fool |
I feel different today |
I don’t know what else to say |
But I’ma get my shit together |
It’s now or never |
It’s now or never |
