Crunch Time
[Verse]
At what point will I start seeing progression?
Family been broke for so long seems like we in a constant recession
I promised family and friends I would make them all proud
I laid all my secrets on the table, put my hand down and vowed
Would I live up to the promise?
Or will I end up failing
I can't quit now, don't got time to be the one who is bailing
I told my cousin ass, that he won't have to worry no more
Fucking working 3 jobs must have his body beyond sore
Now listen, I understand that I will never be perfect
But, if I put in the time and effort then the tears will be worth it
If I just stay constant in my game, then people will learn my name
And I will then one day have all of the fortune and fame (okay)
These are the times, making it my only goal
I gotta be on my grind, don't wanna have to sell my soul
Inside of me theres a lot of pressure, but lord I just wanna rhyme
To be honest I'm tired of cryin', mama tell me that it just takes time
I guess its Crunch Time…

[Interlude]
Cause it's crunch time
Shit real man, a n***a got dreams
Dog it's crunch time
It's crunch time
Shit real man, a n***a got dreams
