Time's Ticking

I was about to go all out but I had to close it all in
Cuz I got hit by the rush caused from all the adrenalin
So listen,see and be ready to be what ur meant to be
Say what u think and think what u say thats the only right way
Anyway
I really hope ur having a great day I'd also like to say
That soon I'm gonna be having a birthday
And I'm gonna be turning twenty two
It's almost as if the time just flue
I really wish you could see everything that I've been trough
A walk down a dark oneway avenue  
That there is no way of getting thru  
And to you the sky might be blue but I've got a lose screw
So lets keep this betwen me and you cuz I really do
Awful crimes to get pass the hard times
So I apologize
For all the innocent cries and dem body piles
Im just hoping that in the event of my demise
It would all be worth it this whole journey
Getting my hands dirty watching ghetto kids
Beging for mercy cuz povertys done dem dirty
And all of this has me thinking
How the plan was simply to be a king
And how the time is slowly ticking
While my dream is slowly sinking
But I'm still kicking
So to everyone that hates me load up the ammunition
Cuz I never give up on a mission
Theres simply to much ambition within
Cuz it was written for me to be
The crazy guy thats gonna set the world free
And probably I woudnt make it to be thirty three
But Im ready Momento Mori and ur free
Thats true poetry
And this words come out my mouth
Cuz thru my life ive been thru alot
And with my eyes ive seen alot  
Popped a shot, body drop, and for what ?
Cuz it was a part of somone elses plot ? Fuck that !
I was someones weapon  
Like LeBrone shoot and dont miss
I was sending out someone elses death wish
And for that im gonna burn in order to learn
What I've done how I've broken someones fam
What they felt how they yelled for help its quiet hard to digest
And I aint getting no rest with this things on my chest  
But I guess its simply my turn cuz I didnt run
Instead I chose the sound of the loaded gun
And I got people wishing they never meet me
So Im truely sorry this goes out to anybody
Under diffrent circumstances you might have been my buddy
But for now im stuck in the mud so its time for me
To shut the fuck up and follow up
On what I've said and the life I've lead
Instead of wasting time in meaningless crime
Plus there is no overtime in this line of work
So kids do ur homework and become the next Zuckerberg
Dont get ur visions blurred time aint stoping
So dont waist it on something absurd or insulting
Cuz it could cause someone alot of suffering
And this aint all I got to say but my time is runing away
So im gonna have to go on my way
I hope you got something out of it
Cuz there is alot of real shit beaing said
And im gonna stay one step ahead until my last breath
