I woke up late, sun talking through the blinds
Clock said hurry, but my spirit said “nah, you fine”
Floor still cold, feet finding out the day
Every step a maybe, every breath a delay
Phone full of noise, everybody got a truth
Timeline preaching like it’s bulletproof
I sip my coffee slow, let it drip into the groove
Let the world spin fast, I got nothing to prove
Mama said listen when the silence start to hum
That’s where the answers live, before they turn dumb
Before they get a name, before they get sold
Before they get wrapped in a story too old
I’m not behind, I’m just walking out of line
Time ain’t a ruler, it’s a question mark sign
If I pause too long, or I move too quick
That’s just my pulse arguing with the tick
I’m right on time
Even when I drift
Even when I miss
I’m right on time
I’m right on time
Even when I bend
Even when I slip
I’m right on time
Heart beat crooked, but it know the way home
Every scar a rhythm, every doubt a tone
They say “stay in pocket,” I say “which one though?”
My soul wear loose clothes, let it breathe, let it flow
Mirror talking back, say “girl, you changed”
I said “yeah, that’s growth, don’t say it like a blame”
I don’t need to shine, I just need to stay warm
Find peace in the mess, find shape in the form
I don’t chase no future, I don’t fix no past
I loop this little moment, make it gently last
Memory got static, but the feeling stay clean
Like a dusty old record still teaching me things
If I lean too early, or I fall too late
That’s just love negotiating with fate
I ain’t lost, I’m just circling space
Trying to recognize my own face
Everybody counting seconds like they owe them money
I count heartbeats, see what feel funny
If it rush too hard, I let it drag
If it hurt too much, I put it in a bag
Not to hide it, just to carry it slow
Some truths don’t like being told
They like to sit, they like to sway
They like to show up three beats late
I’m right on time
Even when I stall
Even when I fall
I’m right on time
I’m right on time
No map, no sign
Just this body of mine
I’m right on time
City breathing heavy, asphalt sigh
Everybody running, I just ask “why”
Who set the pace, who blew the whistle
Who said life gotta move like a missile
I plant my feet in a shaky beat
Let the drums argue under me
Kick lean forward, snare lean back
That’s how my thoughts stay on track
I ain’t late, I ain’t early
I’m right where the now occur me
If today stutter, let it speak
Sometimes truth sound better weak
Time don’t move me
I move with it
Or against it
Or sideways through it
Depends on the day
