Chuck the Prophet - Second in Time

Say I can't, can too
Clean up that act like shampoo
Can you, tell me how and why I feel so brand new
Like dang, ooh, I'm bouta flex
But I gotta let my ego rest
Let me go next
I'm second in line
Even if it's only for a second in time
One Mississippi, two Mississippi
Telling me I'm just another dude in the city
I do it in a sitting, then I hop on the cardioid
You heard my voice, said ooh this is litty
But just in your head, you told me it's crap
Might need to take out my pen and attack
Right on the paper 'cause that's where it's at
And get on a mic and put that on a track
And that is a fact, I got finesse
But I ain't saying that I'm the best
I confess, I'm human too
I just do what a human can do
Just like you, we got potential
Lyrics with no instrumental
Living a capella for a little bit
But we define what little is
Say I can't, can too
Clean up that act like shampoo
Can you, tell me how and why I feel so brand new
Like dang, ooh, I'm bouta flex
But I gotta let my ego rest
Let me go next
I'm second in line
Even if it's only for a second in time
Second in time, second in time
Success, yes, check it it's mine
Kept it in mind, kept it in mind
I know I won't ever rewind
I don't need a limelight
To get my pride
I'm fine, with my shine
Even if it's only for a second in time
Second in time, second in time
Success, yes, check it it's mine
Kept it in mind, kept it in mind
I know I won't ever rewind
I dont need a limelight
To get my pride
I'm fine, with my shine
Even if it's only for a second in time
Speaking of time, I'm running low
That's what the world keeps letting me know
At a crossroad, 'cause I'm not sure
If everything they telling me is pure
I'm so mature
But I laugh at manure
Ha, manure
I'm out here climbing but don't got a harness
They tryna make me fall down they heartless
I have just started, mission is not complete
They need to know they cannot stop me
Lemme know if I'm doing the most
I'm tryna figure out what I should post
I'm tryna make sure that I am staying in my lane so that I know that I cannot boast
Woah, Imma take it down a notch
I'm a class clown but I don't clown a lot
Say I can't, can too
Clean up that act like shampoo
Can you, tell me how and why I feel so brand new
Like dang, ooh, I'm bouta flex
But I gotta let my ego rest
Let me go next
I'm second in line
Even if it's only for a second in time
Second in time, second in time
Success, yes, check it it's mine
Kept it in mind, kept it in mind
I know I won't ever rewind
I don't need a limelight
To get my pride
I'm fine, with my shine
Even if it's only for a second in time
Second in time, second in time
Success, yes, check it it's mine
Kept it in mind, kept it in mind
I know I won't ever rewind
I don't need a limelight
To get my pride
I'm fine, with my shine
Even if it's only for a second in time
Tick tick tick tock goes the clock
I said a tick tock ti ti tick tock tock
Tick tick tick tock goes the clock
I said a tick tick ti ti tick tock tock
Say I can't, can too
Clean up that act like shampoo
Can you, tell me how and why I feel so brand new
Like dang, ooh, I'm bouta flex
But I gotta let my ego rest
Let me go next
I'm second in line
Even if it's only for a second in time
Second in time, second in time
Success, yes, check it it's mine
Kept it in mind, kept it in mind
I know I won't ever rewind
I don't need a limelight
To get my pride
I'm fine, with my shine
Even if it's only for a second in time
Second in time, second in time
Success, yes, check it it's mine
Kept it in mind, kept it in mind
I know I won't ever rewind
I don't need a limelight
To get my pride
I'm fine, with my shine
Even if it's only for a second in time
Second in time, second in time
Success, yes, check it it's mine
Kept it in mind, kept it in mind
I know I won't ever rewind
I don't need a limelight
To get my pride
I'm fine, with my shine
Even if it's only for a second in time
Second in time, second in time
Success, yes, check it it's mine
Kept it in mind, kept it in mind
I know I won't ever rewind
I don't need a limelight
To get my pride
I'm fine, with my shine
Even if it's only for a second in time
Say I can't, can too
Clean up that act like shampoo
Can you, tell me how and why I feel so brand new
Like dang, ooh, I'm bouta flex
But I gotta let my ego rest
Let me go next
I'm second in line
Even if it's only for a second in time
Second in time, second in time
Success, yes, check it it's mine
Kept it in mind, kept it in mind
I know I won't ever rewind
I don't need a limelight
To get my pride
I'm fine, with my shine
Even if it's only for a second in time
When you're doing things
And you put your time and effort into it
Don't do it because you want fame or something, or credit
Do it 'cause you love it man
Always out of love, that's the purest thing you can do
