[Verse 1]

Yo I light up the jar under the light of the stars
And write a few bars until the silence dissolves
Contemplating if I’m right or I’m wrong
For dedicating most of my time to holding mics in my palm
My dream has been life-long
And though the finish line is still out of sight
Within my plight I fight on
And I ain’t singing no sob stories or sad songs
I stick to telling the total [bad word] and that’s all
It’s ironic when you’re rap’s best thing
And yet somehow your career is still fledgling
That’s my predicament and it’s perplexing
But instead of sweating it I just keep progressing
While waiting for the stars to align
And the moment in time when it’s my moment to shine
But until then I keep my eyes on the prize
And try to survive night after night going for mine because
 [bad word] 

In a matter of a moment lost to the end of time (It only takes a moment)
It’s the evening of another day and the end of mine (For your life to fly by)
In a matter of a moment lost to the end of time (It only takes a moment)
It’s the evening of another day and the end of mine (Just to find you’re outta time)

[Verse 2]

And every evening at the end of another day
I’m bucking the system trying to figure out another way
And budget what I gotta pay to phone a lifeline
Hope rainy days don’t last my whole lifetime
That’s why the moonlight is mine
When the moon starts to shine a feeling moves up my spine
Yeah, I stay in tune with the shadows
Lone trooper on the road less travelled
Lone wolf, sole controller, only soldier still in the battle
Only slave on the boat who’s really rowing his paddle
Still I sit in the saddle and dip from the hassles
Others get rattled and just dibble and dabble
I think bigger, connecting the dots on the big picture
Like identifying the Big Dipper
Fueled by [bad word] and one day I promise
That I’ll light up the sky like [bad word]  [bad word] 

In a matter of a moment lost to the end of time (It only takes a moment)
It’s the evening of another day and the end of mine (For your life to fly by)
Now the starlight which has found me lost for a million years (It only takes a moment)
Tries to linger as it fills my eyes till it disappears (Just to find your own time)

[Verse 3]

Yo hope the [bad word] don’t murder me
Before I find out how many people heard of V from Jersey to Germany
And yeah I try to act fine as though all is well
But at times I feel like the snowball in [bad word] I’m trying to find my way
That’s why it’s all [bad word] work, got no time for play
No time for games so while my time remains
I won’t wait like a time delay
I say what I mean and mean what I say
Chasing dreams night by night and day after day
I met a broad at the [bad word] bar called Starlight
Because her eyes twinkled like little stars
She had a smile that could shine for a million years
I told her I got a trail of a trillion tears
Asked if she could help me make it disappear
Then felt no fear when she said this here, she said
 [bad word] 

In a matter of a moment lost to the end of time (It only takes a moment)
It’s the evening of another day and the end of mine (For your life to fly by)
Now the starlight which has found me lost for a million years (It only takes a moment)
Tries to linger as it fills my eyes till it disappears (Just to find your own time)
