Lyrics
Can't play no waiting game
Expressing a refusal to engage in a passive approach or delay.
Look alive look alive
Encouragement to be alert and lively.
I got change to make
Reference to a need for personal transformation or improvement.
I can see it in they eyes
Perceiving a desire or necessity in others through their eyes.
That they need a king
Observation that others are seeking a leader or someone authoritative.
And I'm thinkin' that it's time yeah
Belief that it's the right moment for action or change.
I think that it's time show my people how to rise
Expressing readiness to guide and uplift one's community.
Can’t play no waiting game
Reiteration of the refusal to be passive or wait idly.
Look alive
Repetition of the call to be alert and alive.
Look alive
-I see it in they eyes
-Look alive
-Look alive
-Look up we flyin’
Positive outlook, flying high, acknowledging impermanence, and avoiding wasted time.
Good mood been vibin’
-If I said this was permanent
-I’d probably be lyin woah
-But it’s okay
-I’d rather be down and busy than lettin’ time waste
-Scared so I just run run run for so long
-Pop another one on my tongue and get gone.
Previous negative lifestyle contrasted with a positive, focused state.
Drownin’ in my problems I was livin’ so wrong
-But now I feel my mood change I’m livin’ in my zone
-You can watch how I been rockin’
Emphasis on personal control, ignoring gossip, and unstoppable progress.
Show you how I roll now
-I ignore the gossip
-I’m in full control now
-They sit back and watch it
-Relax and see it go down
-And they wish they could stop it
-But they can’t stop it no.
-Can't play no waiting game
Repetition of themes, emphasizing the urgency to act and lead.
Look alive look alive
-I got change to make
-I can see it in they eyes
-That they need a king
-And I'm thinkin' that it's time yeah
-I think that it's time show my people how to rise
-Can’t play no waiting game
-Look alive
-Look alive
-I see it in they eyes
-Look alive
-Look alive
-This how it feel to live life with no regrets now
Living without regrets, trusting instincts, and seeking the best.
Trust in my gut got no time to second guess now
-Faith in myself so I’m carryin’ no stress now
-Know what i'm worth I seek out nothing but the best now
-Runnin’ away
Rejecting negativity, confronting inner demons, and not letting emotions repress.
The shit is a waste
-The feelin’ of killin’ the demons that dug up your grave
-The ones that we made
-Repressing emotion it come back to haunt you one day
-They want you to pay
Standing up to challenges and defying those who wish harm.
But we gon’ stand up and we gon’ throw it back in they face
-Throw it back in they face
-Eyes
Referencing the power in one's eyes to inspire and the need to demonstrate resilience.
In your eyes
-See that you can really rise
-Think it’s time
-Why don’t we show em’ how we ride.
