In Due Time

In Due Time Lyrics

Verse 1:

To my teenage listeners,

Sitting in back of the classroom.

Got a couple real close friends,

You so attached to em.

Probably see the world together,

Couple matching tattoos.

Future bright,

Yet to see plight that y’all can’t laugh through.

Next you’ll go to college,

Graduate and get a job,

And then you’ll meet the one you love,

And have a kid at 25.

And then you’ll travel round the world,

Living life,

Then you retire.

Picture perfect plan,

To get what you desire.

Super fly.

Hook:

In due time.

You’ll get everything you want and then some,

In due time.

Eyes wide.

Outside,

Looking for a through line.

You’ll get everything you want and then some,

In due time.

Verse 2:

To my 20 somethings,

Functioning solely to see tomorrow.

The ones with which these words of encouragement ring hollow.

I know you fear the emptiness of effort made pointless.

Your peers are on the gram,

On an island eating oysters.

And now you feel behind,

Because you’re living in your prime.

And when you look at life,

It’s different from the one that you designed.

Cuz back in high school,

You thought you’d have a crib already.

A ring up on your finger,

With a couple kids already.

And now the timeline bending,

The high life trending.

Legislation got you living through a sci-fi ending.

You been working endlessly,

But never see the results.

Pandemic robbed you of you feeling adult.

I know the feeling,

I promise.

I know the ceiling feels closer than ever.

Trust in your power.

You ain’t no stranger to pressure.

You made it this far.

Out the mud,

How you got it.

It’s nothing new.

Seeds feed on dirt and water,

That’s the only way they bloom.

Hook:

In due time.

You’ll get everything you want and then some,

In due time.

Blindsided.

Mind crowded.

Looking for a through line.

You’ll get everything you want and then some,

In due time.

Verse 3:

To my 30 somethings,

Worrisome and looking in the rear view.

Putting on a front,

And tripping more than you appear to.

Feel like you ain’t done enough,

And that’s the shit that scares you.

Looking for a listener,

If anyone would care to.

Everyone around you seems to have their shit together.

With less than zero effort.

You’d kill to lift the pressure.

The homies leaving work,

And see a family that cares for em.

Made mistakes a decade ago,

And you’re still paying for em.

Relax.

Take a breath,

It’s not embarrassing.

There’s danger in comparison,

And keeping up appearances.

Truth be told,

They struggle too.

Lost inside they hustle too.

Plenty road ahead to cross,

This living shit ain't done with you.

Yeah you bound to struggle and stumble,

And fall down.

Still you get up off the ground,

And make this shit shake.

Sit straight.

Fuck a timeline,

You’ll get this shit when you ready.

Never been closer to the cake and confetti,

It’s on the way.

Hook:

In due time.

You’ll get everything you want and then some,

In due time.

Never been wiser than now,

Potential high in the clouds.

Looking for a through line.

You’ll get everything you want and then some,

In due time.
