Lessons in Time ft. Mission Lyrics

Lessons in Time ft. Mission - Dru Bex

...

Verse 1:

This time-this time-this time I had to bring the flow back,

melodies on tracks, I own that

/But I'm good with the raps like I'm serving up shawarma

, throw some Tabasco on that bad boy/Watch me snap like Kodak,

my past be black like Kodak

could hardly bear like Kodiak

’til I got rid of ‘I', that's Kodak

Gave God control, you stop drop and roll

this that fire/that rock n’ roll,

the grave had a rolling stone ,

now we lift Him higher/

look, I hope this inspire,

don’t let time zip right by yah/

get right with God because to see you win is His desire

Hook (Mission):

Even if they tried,

couldn’t hold up the blessing,

I done seen a child who was holding the Wesson/Even in the trials keep forward progression

all those past lossed I seen them as lessons/

I been on the grind all day and all night,

Mama said “they hit you first then you sure better fight”

I learned it all with time, learned it all with time

Verse 2:

As a youngin’ I was told

, I was, told that I would prob’ly go, prob’ly/go and find myself in jail,

they actually took me in front of a cell, the cop said/“

young boy, who just lost his mamma

, you’ll be dealing with a lot of trauma

/if you don’t get your head right now you’ll be dealing with a lot of drama”/

I suppose it worked, I stayed on my toes, got in some trouble

/but better I knew then to follow the ways of my bros, who ended up dead or imprisoned/

they getting tattoos of the scriptures but I pray they read them and hope they get wisdom

/I gotta get better at checking on friends in general, I hope that they listen

Hook

Verse 3:

Mama died when I was seven years old but she left me with some lessons

/never let them get the best of your soul, drive you down into depression/

brotha, never answer back a curse with another curse, just heap blessings

/sista, never take some temporary heat as perm, just keep pressing, wooh!

/your a king not a peasant, wooh! your an eagle not a pheasant, wooh!

/When you learning from the past that’s a real gift, that’s why it’s called the present wooh!/

every time I give you something new it’s like I’m serving you delicatessen

/I just hit you with the soup, next up is the salad ‘cause there’s just some things that need addressing (a dressing)
