Yeah, see, in life, we all have opportunities
The question is, what you gonna do with it
You gonna go capitalize, or you gonna let that pass you by

No breaks can't take your time (No way)
Why let life pass you by (Tell me why)
When you could reach out and be touching the sky
You ain't gonna make a shot if you don't go out and try (Uh Uh)
No breaks can't take your time (No way)
Why let life pass you by (Tell me why)
When you could reach out and be touching the sky
You ain't gonna make a shot if you don't go out and try (Uh Uh)

Time's ticking, you gon' waste that and stand for it
No thanks, not me, I got no plans for it
On my grind, even early in the damn morning
I've been agitated, what you say might just throw hands for it
My work ethic is something you can't match that
Yeah, I got in trouble at school, but I'm past that
And yeah, I went to jail, but still I'm moving with the class act
Wait
Pain and fear, you can't mask that
I was scared to go to college, but I graduated
That is not a fabrication using my imagination
Any beat that I receive, you know that I assassinate it
That is no exaggeration, don't act like you're fascinated
Through the ups, through the downs, and all the buffers
Still I shine like the dead heat in summer
I told my mother, she gon' see me do some numbers
Only focused on myself, I wish the best to all the others

No breaks can't take your time (No way)
Why let life pass you by (Tell me why)
When you could reach out and be touching the sky
You ain't gonna make a shot if you don't go out and try (Uh Uh)
No breaks can't take your time (No way)
Why let life pass you by (Tell me why)
When you could reach out and be touching the sky
You ain't gonna make a shot if you don't go out and try (Uh Uh)

Life has been a class full of lessons
I gotta take my shot, no Wesson
I've lost my way, I'm best friends
I hope I got it right when the test ends
Time is precious like jewels on the neck
Like a stool for the step, like losing a deck
Like who's gonna rep, like shooter to net
Oh, I said a lot, you better tune in a sec
Thought I had a ride or die and we were solid
Really thought she was the one but we lost it
I didn't wanna talk about this topic
But if I'm spitting bout loss then you got it
My advice is see your worth
And don't lie if it hurts, it hurts
Rebuild yourself, rebirth
Listen and don't pass by these words

No breaks can't take your time (No way)
Why let life pass you by (Tell me why)
When you could reach out and be touching the sky
You ain't gonna make a shot if you don't go out and try (Uh Uh)
No breaks can't take your time (No way)
Why let life pass you by (Tell me why)
When you could reach out and be touching the sky
You ain't gonna make a shot if you don't go out and try (Uh Uh)
