Lyrics
Time fades in the rear view
Bet they wanna know what it’s like
Looking back at 25, can’t box her in
Something funny bout the mindset
One love, two kids, maybe
Have it all by 33, let’s slow it down
Cool calm breeze wash over me
Put my mind at ease
Looking in the mirror I found
Someone free reflecting me
And she’s all I need
Realize that I’ve been
On time
What it is, was, baby, what will be will be
My time
What it is, was, universe protecting me
On time
What it is, was, baby, what will be will be
My time
What it is, was
You got the t-i-m-e, turn the key
Cool calm breeze, not an era she don’t shine
Feel so free in her lane, right on time
Cool calm breeze, not an era she don’t shine
Feel so free, nada nada
(Waiting, no waiting)
Feel the light that shines
(Waiting, no waiting)
Brighter over time, yeah
(Waiting, no waiting)
Cool just like her mama’s, mama’s, mama
(Waiting, no waiting)
You got the t-i-m-e, turn the key
On time
What it is, was, baby, what will be will be
My time
What it is, was, universe protecting me
On time
What it is, was, baby, what will be will be
My time
What it is, was
You got the t-i-m-e, turn the key
On time
What it is, was, baby, what will be will be
My time
What it is, was, universe protecting me
On time
What it is, was, baby, what will be will be
My time
What it is, was
You got the t-i-m-e, turn the key
Limitations, we’re gonna throw em out
We already made it, this precious moment’s ours
Forward, backwards
Look how we celebrate and take it day by day
Limitations, we’re gonna throw em out
We already made it, this precious moment’s ours
Forward, backwards
Look how we celebrate and take it day by day
(On time, my time, I’m)
Nobody does what you do quite like you do
Can’t measure how you shine, though they might try to
Nobody does what you do quite like you do
Can’t measure how you shine
