Lyrics

Hook (Soul Vocal)
Time don't wait
For broken plans and second guesses
Time don't wait
For fear dressed up as carefulness
Every clock got one direction
Every season got an end
If you're gonna love me
Love me now
Don't wait till then
Verse 1 (Soul-Rap)
I spent years saying "one day"
Like tomorrow signed a contract
Like opportunity rented property
And promised to come right back
Wrong.
I watched chances change addresses
Watched people leave without warnings
Watched dreams grow tired
Of sitting in unfinished mornings
That's when I learned
Delay got expensive taste
It charges interest on potential
And collects payments in regret
Every postponed conversation
Every unwritten chapter
Every risk avoided
Got a receipt attached
Hook (Soul Vocal)
Time don't wait
For broken plans and second guesses
Time don't wait
For fear dressed up as carefulness
Every clock got one direction
Every season got an end
If you're gonna love me
Love me now
Don't wait till then
Verse 2 (Soul-Rap)
My grandmother said,
"Baby, ripe fruit don't stay waiting forever."
Simple wisdom.
Powerful consequences.
Because life keeps moving
Whether we participate or not
The train don't stop
Just because somebody undecided
The river don't pause
For people scared of crossing
So I stopped negotiating
With hesitation
Stopped treating certainty
Like a requirement
And started trusting movement
More than perfection
Bridge (Soul Vocal)
Some doors open briefly
Some moments only visit once
Verse 3 (Soul-Rap)
Now I call people when I miss them
Say thank you when I mean it
Take chances that align
Even when they scare me
Because courage ain't fearlessness
It's action with shaky hands
It's believing the future
Rewards participation
More than spectatorship
And maybe that's the lesson
Time been trying to teach us all along
Not to rush
But not to sleep
Either
Final Hook (Soul Vocal)
Time don't wait
For promises we never follow through
Time don't wait
For the version of yourself
You're afraid to become
Every clock got one direction
Every season got an end
If you're gonna live your purpose
Start before then
Outro
The calendar keeps turning.
The years keep moving.
The question remains...
What are you waiting for?
