Lyrics

Intro

Uh

Check it

Ninety-four til forever

One time for your mind

Verse 1

Concrete walls keeping me contained

Looking back at life while I’m chained

Stuck behind these cold iron bars

Counting down the minutes by the scars

The jury looked at me with blank stares

Thinking 'bout the street life and its snares

Thinking 'bout the way the game plays

Trying to survive through the gray maze

Pre-Chorus

Locked away

Day by day

Clock keeps ticking but I stay

Chorus

Everyone's chasing that Rolex crown

Watching the sand falling down

In the dirt where the hollow points fly

Begging for a second not to die

Your time is up

Yeah

Your time is up

No more chances left in the cup

Verse 2

Judge sitting high on the wooden bench

Judgment came with a bitter stench

Calling me a danger to the neighborhood

Stole twenty years just because she could

She was dry as a coconut husk

Left me rotting from the dawn to the dusk

Dealing with the snakes and the jealousy

Knowing that the devil's eyes are watching me

I saw the flame

I felt the blame

I never let 'em break my name

Pre-Chorus

Locked away

Day by day

Clock keeps ticking but I stay

Chorus

Everyone's chasing that Rolex crown

Watching the sand falling down

In the dirt where the hollow points fly

Begging for a second not to die

Your time is up

Yeah

Your time is up

No more chances left in the cup

Bridge

Spent my dimes on the diamond bezel

Dancing with a beast and a metal shovel

I will be there when the end arrives

Thriving while the weak sell their lives

The fire's waiting for my kind

Leaving all the fakes far behind

Chorus

Everyone's chasing that Rolex crown

Watching the sand falling down

In the dirt where the hollow points fly

Begging for a second not to die

Your time is up

Yeah

Your time is up

No more chances left in the cup
