Time to Fly (2025 Remastered Version)
Lyrics
Time To Fly
Intro:
Just wanna let you know I put my all in my music
My ups and downs
My heart, my passion
My pain, my pleasure
My happiness, my sadness
My hurt, my joy, my fear
My insecurities and my confidence
My doubt and determination
Don’t let nobody tell you what you can or cannot be
Or what you can or cannot do
All you have to do is listen to that voice inside
And know you have greatness within you
It’s time to fly
I.
Amsterdam ambassador and its straight hurtin’ dudes
Outspit ya crew and I know a lot less english words than you
Thinkin’ of times rappers was thinkin' of rhymes
Stinkin’ ass minds they're just thinkin’ of bribes
I’m thinkin’ of tribes of people diggin‘ me for who I am
Mad MC’s are a part of me – call me who’s the man
Still watch the DVD at the crib with TLM
Brother from another - Mixtape King in the Dam
My pen chose life over several executions
And what you're hearin' now is a natural evolution
Of artistry - no pollution of truth in the place
In the nineties I was rhymin' - always the pale face
They used to ask what it was like in that rhyme world
Not as hard as for black people in a white world
I’m speakin’ as a humanist - I’m true to this
Urgin’ rappers to ask themselves - why you're really doin’ this?
Come on man - why you spittin' this rappin’
Couldn‘t deliver as a head if you was Gwyneth in Seven
Goin‘ all out for what I believe in - my dreams, man
Stayin' on your path ain't as easy as it seems, man
It’s been a minute I been on the mic
Now more than ever you should be you and not him on the mic
This digital age - no time for fake image design
I flip this friggin’ recession into spiritual times
I share my heart with you through these intimate rhymes
Creatively I want a culture without limited skies
Lookin’ into lines – yeah I‘m lookin into these rhymes
Like my man lookin’ in his son’s cinnamon eyes
Chorus:
It's time to fly - spread my wings with these rhymes
Way deeper than just doin' my things with these rhymes
It's time to fly - spread my wings with these rhymes
And I ain't stoppin 'til the whole world is sayin' my rhymes
It's time to fly - spread my wings with these rhymes
Way deeper than just doin' my things with these rhymes
It's time to fly - spread my wings with these rhymes
And I ain't stoppin 'til the whole world is sayin' my rhymes
II.
BP the name has nothin' to do with gettin’ brain
Time to fly has nothing to do with catchin’ planes
Time for difference in these difficult times
Grew up on rhymes rap music a recipient I’m
Absorbed by this culture since I was a little youth
Lickle Yout' - as Jamaicans ‘d say in my London crew
Some former partners exposed as true actors
Not on the same page so I write new chapters
Love can make ya blind even more so demented
In my situation at least it was cemented
In my heart & soul that I should go with them it’s best
People wasn’t really real with my best interest
I don‘t blame it on them it was a lesson for me
They might feel guilty someday it’s less stressin’ for me
A lotta rappers few essential MC's
Ya can't go to Holland without mentioning me
Yeah - I know you're checkin' my rhymes
People over the globe startin' to recognize
What if I say these lines ain't even written
Half of this shit is improvisation man I'm always spittin'
Tryin' to constantly grow - hope one day I'd be as ill as Jigga
Not even write my shit down and make the illest figures
Like Hasbro - bigger pictures of my mic path
Already on my eight album I'm on the right path
Chorus:
It's time to fly - spread my wings with these rhymes
Way deeper than just doin' my things with these rhymes
It's time to fly - spread my wings with these rhymes
And I ain't stoppin 'til the whole world is sayin' my rhymes
It's time to fly - spread my wings with these rhymes
Way deeper than just doin' my things with these rhymes
It's time to fly - spread my wings with these rhymes
And I ain't stoppin 'til the whole world is sayin' my rhymes
It's time to fly
It's time to fly
It's time to fly
It's time to fly
