What is an hour glass, time is like an overpass
Driving I'm grabbing moments that vanishes when I start to gas it
Then a casket starts to come up close and really quickly
Thinking bout the past and my people and will they really miss me
Did I touch a life and love them while I'm here?
Did I stack up all my chips only to dip and disappear?
Was this really bout the fame and how we're chasing it
Facing it, only dip your toe but never bathe in it - hating it
I'll never know who this music really touches
Hope it brushes on your soul, hope you grab a hold and make it lovely
I've been in moments where my heart was in love
At least it felt like that at present but was never enough
And so I paint it in a frame just to claim it and keep around
Document my travels I'm reaching you through a sound
Hoping that you're vibing and living in all your moments
We could leave up out this earth in a second and we may never know it

We all wake up with the same amount of minutes
We're navigating daily with a 24 to live it
How you choose to move is your legacy, entity
Loving those around you keep it heavenly, symmetry

We all wake up with the same amount of minutes
We're navigating daily with a 24 to live it
Choose your own direction, not just to impress
You never know when we are leaving with a few minutes left

I never really needed much to feel alive in life
A cup of coffee and a sandwich got me feeling right
In the tightest window with a breeze up from the sunrise
I'm turning CBS on while I'm navigating one-eyed
Barely half awake but the mocha will get me woke
Next thing that I know is that beat on is kinda dope
So I slowly make way to my papers I'm always writing
About the beauties of our life and the moments that keep us smiling
Looking through my feed I'm reading current events
A stock ticker on the banner got my plan to invest
If success is really monetary why do wealthy people
Never feel at peace with their pieces they starve for c-notes
So I'm aiming to be grateful with what God has given out to me
I've been a starving artist in my past that's part of me
Walking upon the oddities, rapping as my commodity
Capturing all my images I'm finishing what ought to be

We all wake up with the same amount of minutes
We're navigating daily with a 24 to live it
How you choose to move is your legacy, entity
Loving those around you keep it heavenly, symmetry

We all wake up with the same amount of minutes
We're navigating daily with a 24 to live it
Choose your own direction, not just to impress
You never know when we are leaving with a few minutes left

I drive around to places that used to mean a lot to me
To see the life that changes age's like a novelty
Like back in college I would walk around the campus
Now the buildings represent a certain distant type of language
I hear the chatter from the younger in me
Who used to go to every open mic to kill an MC
Who used to hustle all their music using downloaded beats
Defeat was not a part of dialogues that I would just speak - peep
Let's take it further down to memory lane
I'm parked in front of south lake union flashing back through the waves
The graves of all my past mistakes and placed in front of my face
I'm forced to look 'em in the eyes, and try to not look away
We've all been there no point in despair
Hit the wrong attack but canceled out of it in midair
As long as we alive we got the night to make the most of it
Playing all my local hits, I'm chilling by the coastal tip

We all wake up with the same amount of minutes
We're navigating daily with a 24 to live it
How you choose to move is your legacy, entity
Loving those around you keep it heavenly, symmetry

We all wake up with the same amount of minutes
We're navigating daily with a 24 to live it
Choose your own direction, not just to impress
You never know when we are leaving with a few minutes left
