Lyrics
Where did the time go
Reflecting on the passage of time, wondering where it went.
I just sharpen my skills on the grindstone
Focusing on improving skills through hard work and dedication.
I'm just tryna get shine like a rhine stone
Aspiring to achieve success and recognition like a shining rhinestone.
I been living this long and my mind blown
Feeling overwhelmed by the length of life and its impact on the mind.
Like where in the fuck did the time go
Reiterating the bewilderment about the swift passage of time.
Where did the time go
Repetition emphasizing the speaker's concern and confusion about time.
Where did the time go
-Where in the fuck did the time go
-Where in the fuck did the time go
-I feel like thanos need the time stone
Reference to Thanos and the desire for control over time.
This shit weighing heavy on my mendulla
Weighed down by heavy thoughts affecting the medulla oblongata (part of the brain).
I feel like thanos need the mind stone
Expressing the need for control over the mind, akin to the mind stone.
I only like when my mind gone
Enjoying moments when the mind is detached or free.
Feel like a disgrace when it boil down
Feeling ashamed when everything is analyzed or simplified.
And I'm just tryna make it
Expressing the determination to make it despite challenges.
Slow it down and see where this shit take me
Contemplating life's direction and the outcomes of choices.
Feeling different because i didn't make it
Feeling different due to perceived failure in achieving goals.
I ain't tell my granny i didn't make it
Regretting not sharing failures with loved ones.
Put on faces we accustomed to fakin
Maintaining false appearances that society expects.
Do it well they gone see the facade
Awareness that others will see through the facade.
Buy whatever but been missing them payments
Financial struggles, possibly missing payments on possessions.
Had 100 demons right on my back
Facing internal struggles represented as demons.
It ain't really make sense in the past
Past experiences seeming nonsensical in retrospect.
And it don't really make sense now
Reflecting on the senselessness of the past and present.
But i can't seem to put the pen down
Difficulty stopping the creative process (represented by the pen).
Never ask myself where did the time go
Not questioning the journey or the choices made so far.
Where did the time go
Repetition of questioning where time has gone, reinforcing the theme.
I just sharpen my skills on the grindstone
-I'm just tryna get shine like a rhine stone
-I been living this long and my mind blown
-Like where in the fuck did the time go
-Where did the time go
-Where did the time go
-Where in the fuck did the time go
-Where in the fuck did the time go
-I'm not a boy now
Maturing from adolescence into adulthood.
Tried to pick up the pen put the toys down
Transitioning from childhood pursuits to more serious endeavors.
I ain't blew me some shìt in a long while
Avoiding engaging in negative activities for a long time.
Pull me over cuz i fit the profile
Encountering profiling while driving.
And I'm whipping in something with no miles
Details about the speaker's car and financial struggles.
And the tints on
-But its rented and now all the rent gone
-Feeling finally famous like big Sean
Feeling a sense of accomplishment and recognition.
Like i finally made it
Celebrating achievements in creative endeavors.
A nigga a rapper a writer creative
-Boy grow like a flower like Tyler creator
Growing and evolving through different life phases.
Just going through phases
-But gotta keep going
Emphasizing the importance of persevering through challenges.
You can't let go past determine where you going
-I do it for nino i do it for Shaun
Dedicating success to loved ones who are no longer present.
Cuz i know imma meet em when it's done
-I just know this the road i gotta take
Accepting the chosen path despite its challenges.
Tryna get used to going out of state
Adapting to new experiences and locations.
But i been used to showing out hey
-The difference is want do it every day
Recognizing the difference between occasional and daily actions.
Imma do it just take patience
Stressing the importance of patience in achieving goals.
In booth putting down the bars
Crafting lyrics while a friend plays on a PlayStation.
While the Brodie playing onna PlayStation
-Got clout need participation
Desiring acknowledgment and participation in the creative process.
Cuz I'm amazing
Expressing confidence and self-worth.
We the wave we was never basic
Asserting uniqueness and a level above mediocrity.
If you doing yo thang you really Natin'
Emphasizing authenticity and being true to oneself.
If you doing yo thang you really Natin'
-i just think about where i just was
Reflecting on the past and anticipating the future.
And i think about where I'm finna go
-Where did the time go
Repetition of the central theme, questioning the elusive nature of time.
I just sharpen my skills on the grindstone
-I'm just tryna get shine like a rhine stone
-I been living this long and my mind blown
-Like where in the fuck did the time go
-Where did the time go
-Where did the time go
-Where in the fuck did the time go
-Where in the fuck did the time go
