[Intro: WordPlay T. Jay] Everything happens for a reason, right? [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] I done waited this long I don’t pay them no mind As long as I got it, I’m a pay them on time Never worry about them, because I’m doing just fine Get it all because of my grind in due time Yeah Get mines, get mines Huh Get mines in due time Yeah Get mines, get mines Yeah Get mines in due time [Verse 1: WordPlay T. Jay] I don’t let the negative come get to me The way I plan it out comes together like a symphony (Yeah) God sent for me, I’m on the way to get it Hear the vision, it was written coming harder than division With precision I deliver, let the outcome speak So, when it happens to me captain never doubt my reach (Don’t doubt it) I’ve been about my keep; I’m earning everything that’s mine When they ask me about the riches, I say everything in time (I’m a get it) Because you can’t rush faith, and I done set my pace Run forever in my lane and never check my race I believe my ambition ain’t no just in case If you believe in limits, then that’s just your place (That’s too bad for you bro) So I, check the watch and know it’s right around the corner Somebody better warn them that I’m closing in on them, huh It’s simple and I know I got the victory (Uh, huh) So in a second I’ll get everything that’s meant for me, yeah [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] I done waited this long I don’t pay them no mind As long as I got it, I’m a pay them on time Never worry about them, because I’m doing just fine Get it all because of my grind in due time Yeah Get mines, get mines Huh Get mines in due time Yeah Get mines, get mines Yeah Get mines in due time [Verse 2: WordPlay T. Jay] Here we go I really get the feeling they ain’t noticed yet (They ain’t notice) I’m on a different time and they ain’t on to this (They ain’t on it) I’m headed for the pay off like a bonus check (Bonus) They give up way before and we just never rest (Nah) Take a step and then we earn our keep (I got it) If they ain’t with I’m a get my sleep (I’m snoozing) Stay focused on it, I’m a keep my peace Working overtime until I grow my reach (Yeah, yeah, yeah) I seen it headed for me a long time ago (I seen it) Everything was lining up just like in dominoes (They falling) Every sign of growth a message it was time to go So I never had the room for the I don’t knows And all the idle woes can never be distractions Standing still for me can never be the action Can’t let go my passion, I’ve never been that passive Because one day I’ll be up in front the masses [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] I done waited this long I don’t pay them no mind As long as I got it, I’m a pay them on time Never worry about them, because I’m doing just fine Get it all because of my grind in due time Yeah Get mines, get mines Huh Get mines in due time Yeah Get mines, get mines Yeah Get mines in due time

At the Top 03:20
[Verse 1: WordPlay T. Jay] Yeah I’m a put in work until I’m dead nigga (Dead) We can kick it but I’m never in the red with you (Nah) Too into making profit never scared business (Uh, huh) I’m always cooking up that’s a rare feeling (Uh) Uh, looking at stepping it up like a FitBit (Uh) Gotta be messing it up like a misfit (Huh) Wallet getting thicker than some Bisquik They trying but they not like Chris Paul can’t assist this (Uh, huh) And when they try and file a couple claims that they helped me in the game Get State Farm on the phone And when I think about it, ain’t no doubting, I’m just solo on the mountain Ain’t nobody here to show (Yeah) Stay too great not pull my own weight, so they gotta keep the pace God didn’t put me here to tow (Uh) They wanna pass time on the beach, thinking everything’s sweet But I’m never going to coast (Yeah) [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] It’s lonely at the top I’m a keep my mind focused so I’m never at the bottom It’s lonely at the top Keep my circle looking right so there’s never any problems It’s lonely at the top They can say the want it all, but won’t sacrifice a little bit It’s lonely at the top And when you carve your own lane ain’t no ceiling that you ever hit [Bridge: WordPlay T. Jay] I see another mountain got a ways to go Ways to go I see another mountain got a ways to go Ways to go Started from the bottom and it’s days ago Days ago And what I got to do to get it they don’t know They don’t know [Verse 2: WordPlay T. Jay] Graduated and I’m barely getting started don’t get mad if I’m departing Because I’m cruising to another space Levitated cause I stopped and meditated, saw some shit was overrated And I’m happy that I’m getting great Never chill, never down on the field, what I want I can’t conceal Because I’m about to get a goal with it And if you think I’m bold better know that my temperature the most And a nigga really cold with it [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] It’s lonely at the top I’m a keep my mind focused so I’m never at the bottom It’s lonely at the top Keep my circle looking right so there’s never any problems It’s lonely at the top They can say the want it all, but won’t sacrifice a little bit It’s lonely at the top And when you carve your own lane ain’t no ceiling that you ever hit [Verse 3: WordPlay T. Jay] They think I’m running out, but I maintain And I’m never running out for the fame game See my ambition and these chickens want to change names But I ain’t picking got a vixen with some bling bling Picking a road untraveled with a saddle Ready to blow like a mountain in Seattle Making hits and I don’t battle cause I rather trunks rattle Ain’t no cell in my future, not an enemy that matters Pick a lane ain’t nobody got to know Entertain like you got your own show Feel the rain that’s the only way to grow Don’t listen to them got to take your own approach This the illest shit I wrote since the last verse Think I need some therapy that’s some mad work If Drizzy still going bad I’m a tad worse Get it in by any means and never ask first [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] It’s lonely at the top I’m a keep my mind focused so I’m never at the bottom It’s lonely at the top Keep my circle looking right so there’s never any problems It’s lonely at the top They can say the want it all, but won’t sacrifice a little bit It’s lonely at the top And when you carve your own lane ain’t no ceiling that you ever hit

Long Week 03:12
[Verse 1: WordPlay T. Jay] Yo, Written up for being late another day Check still slim so I’m looking for another way Put on weight? No that’s no debate I put in work right after work no need to motivate Real entrepreneur so you know the fake I heard a lot of problems, so you know the stakes And when you want it like I want it, you say no to breaks A couple chips up on my shoulder so you know the pace I run it, run it, run it, run it, make a kilo from one hundred If you start it then I’ve done it, turning nothing into something Off to learn another subject, take it to the public Then they tell me how they love it, how them other folks should cut it [Refrain: WordPlay T. Jay] When I get the chance, I’m just clocking in another Do it for my mother, wifey, sister, and my brother See me with the drive, never touching on the putters Then repeat that shit tomorrow like a st-st-st-st-studder [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] Damn it’s been a long week How else am I gone eat? I guess this meal is on me Watch me when I get it nigga [Verse 2: WordPlay T. Jay] Thinking about promoting myself Guess it’s just my nature, I’m devoted to wealth Crime has never been an option but I’m loving the sales Take my losses as a lesson cause I love when I fail You tale but I’m doing it in real life On the hustle, I don’t move unless it feels right Gas it up with Nos if you want that mass appeal right Been drawing since a youngin’ so my trigger finger feels light Huh, and that’s an ordinary day And my paw paw told me get it extra ordinary ways And they echoing the losses so ignore them when they cave Think they metamorphosize but they boring every stage [Refrain: WordPlay T. Jay] When I get the chance, I’m just clocking in another Do it for my mother, wifey, sister, and my brother See me with the drive, never touching on the putters Then repeat that shit tomorrow like a st-st-st-st-studder [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] Damn it’s been a long week How else am I gone eat? I guess this meal is on me Watch me when I get it nigga [Verse 3: WordPlay T. Jay] Building it and building it and building Feeling like a Clinton with them invoices I’m building Made my own way, I’m a mentor for the children Tell them nobody can stop you when you’re working for the feeling Not a dollar sign, make me draw the lines, like she draw the blinds When she love a brother and them panties on the side Guess I’m working for the passion Like Jesus at the start, it was never about the masses Put that gift to work so you can skip a couple classes Switch to who you are and talk that shit just like you Cassius Don’t matter about the riches cause the freedom makes you lavish The person with the truth, is the one who really has it [Refrain: WordPlay T. Jay] When I get the chance, I’m just clocking in another Do it for my mother, wifey, sister, and my brother See me with the drive, never touching on the putters Then repeat that shit tomorrow like a st-st-st-st-studder [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] Damn it’s been a long week How else am I gone eat? I guess this meal is on me Watch me when I get it nigga

Obsessed 02:57
[Verse 1: WordPlay T. Jay] I wonder all the time will you know me well Spread my life up on these sheets so I can excel Retweets, hearts, likes, and everything I count it all, just capture the better means Has this obsession taken over me? Will I mail off all my values just to notice peace? How many years will it be until I get over grief? Cause all my happiness is tied to popularity And this ain’t fair to me, I want to chase my passion And pass all the has-beens and make my worries past tense If I can’t let it go then I’ll never get it Optimism, take a thought and shift my metaphysics Gotta take my mental off of meta-critics Cause they observe what I do but they can never get it I see it firsthand on the daily That’s why they can’t phase me and drive a nigga crazy Yeah [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] I do this over, over, over, over ‘gin And it never ends (Never) It never ends (Never) I do this over, over, over, over ‘gin And it never ends (Never) It never ends (Never) [Verse 2: WordPlay T. Jay] Will I be good enough to love forever? I’m down to die for you, but is it temporary We did some freaky things up in the bedroom And I can ask you to stay but I can’t beg you Now I’m on your social like a stalker Just lost you and you change the way you’re walking Outfit new and bar hopping I might be alone for life, my heart stopping Do you say the same things that you said to me Or do you ring a different bell and change the melody Can you walk around the house and find the smell of me? Oh that’s right, can’t nobody match my pedigree I’m just trippin’ I’ve been thinking too much To find myself in you, I just think it’s a crutch To measure up to them, put myself in a rush Obsessing over love, I’m just too out of touch, tough [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] I do this over, over, over, over ‘gin And it never ends (Never) It never ends (Never) I do this over, over, over, over ‘gin And it never ends (Never) It never ends (Never)

And I’m cautious Cause this job’s gonna put me in a coffin I can do what I want when I’m ballin’, Jordan Bout to quit soon to be honest Could really give a damn about a bonus My breakthrough is right around corner, warn ‘em I ain’t taking this shit no mo’ and I’m way too prone to just give it up Overtime this week, overtime next week Is you ever gon’ get enough? Am I ever gon’ get to love, what I do for a living Cause every time I get home, and I write another song, overdue independence [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] We don’t want yo’, we don’t want yo’ We don’t want yo’, we don’t want yo’ We don’t want yo’, we don’t want yo’ We don’t want yo’ mutha-fuckin’ check, Yeah We don’t want yo’, we don’t want yo’ We don’t want yo’, we don’t want yo’ We don’t want yo’, we don’t want yo’ We don’t want yo’ mutha-fuckin’ check, Yeah We don’t want yo’, we don’t want yo’ We don’t want yo’, we don’t want yo’ We don’t want yo’, we don’t want yo’ We don’t want yo’ mutha-fuckin’ check, Yeah

I just wanna feel tonight so I can let it go Throw it like confetti though, Kicking these words is like a pedi flow I don’t want drugs, I’m already dope Higher than before and that’s a steady slope Gettin’ to the drip is like a Neti though Looking like a star, don’t do no cameos Insert line about some panties though and zany dose That’s where my advantage grows Cause I came to get loose like mechanic clothes Throw a good fit like I’m two years old We ain’t get it live in a minute But I thrive on the vibe when I ride with the winners They dividin’ the business corners swing wide when I bend it hands put ‘em high to the ceiling [Pre-Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] We just wanna let it go and get them hands up Turn the music little louder let the band bust Tell ‘em all to have a seat, cause they can’t stand us Getting hot up in this building turn the fan up, yup [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] Hands to the ceiling get them hands up Hands to the ceiling get them hands up Hands to the ceiling get them hands up Hands to the ceiling get them hands up [Verse 2: WordPlay T. Jay] Wax on, wax off girl you know your back soft Might just make a kid and get the tax off And make up for the past lost Tryna get between like a fast floss In it like, uh, my bad Ross Didn’t really know that I had sauce At the bottom of the bag where the rags are Tags off, point of no return so let the cash talk Cat walk, bad boss, Gotta eat like the fast off See ‘em in the future with the mask off Getting right back where the gang hang Like a melee finna go nuts like a Payday Bring the dance out like Da Baby Let the body jump up while the hands go crazy [Pre-Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] We just wanna let it go and get them hands up Turn the music little louder let the band bust Tell ‘em all to have a seat, cause they can’t stand us Getting hot up in this building turn the fan up, yup [Chorus: WordPlay T.

Jay] We just wanna let it go and get them hands up Turn the music little louder let the band bust Tell ‘em all to have a seat, cause they can’t stand us Getting hot up in this building turn the fan up, yup [Chorus: WordPlay T.

A Way 03:29
[Pre-Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] This is how the whole thing goes Getting rid of all my lows Ain’t no point in holding on I’m feeling this way all day long I feel a way [Verse 1: WordPlay T. Jay] I feel it’s you and it’s never me So I just wanna cruise to these melodies Contemplating home when I’m in the streets And I will never fall for the industry The fear can make me angry and dismissive Don’t care to open up cause I’m a little apprehensive Never number two always led with my mechanics That’s why everybody’s draw looks so fuckin’ underhanded Uh, and I can never understand it Hoping for the best that’s just me being romantic Looking at these bills kinda puts me in a panic I was beggin’ to grow up and now my wish is finally granted, and I [Refrain: WordPlay T. Jay] I need to calm down babe And watch the smoke I blaze And count the good ol’ days Let the stress all fade And I can stay up late So I can watch my fave Until my soul feels great, it’s like [Pre-Chorus: WordPlay T.

Jay] I feel a way I feel a way I feel a way I feel a way [Verse 2: WordPlay T. Jay] Why everybody knock my spirit off And everybody’s doubts just make fear it all I’m in my feelings like a Shiggy dance Slow to pass go, but there’s still a chance A rapper and I’m shy that’s coincidence But I can magnify all my differences My weakness is my strength cause I reveal it Like I’ve always been ashamed of my appearance Now I’m steerin’ kinda veerin’ May not be the job they hopped but I’m still in engineering Insecurities they just callin’ interference Made my very own path, and I call it inner clearance [Refrain: WordPlay T. Jay] So I just calm down babe And watch the smoke I blaze And count the good ol’ days Let the stress all fade And I can stay up late So I can watch my fave Until my soul feels great, it’s like [Pre-Chorus: WordPlay T.

Jay] Been on the road two hundred days And now that I’m back, let’s pack, and run away Where to go? San Trope? Really you know me well, that’s so cliché And the check ain’t hit deposit yet So climb up in the car so we can see how high the mileage gets Travel down the I-5 highway Blasting out the Usher, and she see me do it my way There the beach go, hope the heat hold That’s all for the grind and the seats sold And I make these rhymes for the people Motivate, motivate, motivate, yeah That’s just how my week goes Let’s wind down and eat slow Sip champagne and reload On the drive I find my way Taking it day by day (Cause) And for you forever chase (I) We just stack and go some place Take stress off my cabeza I don’t wanna wait [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] I got the drive to float away And there ain’t no high that I replace You in my mind for better days Wanna get lost ‘til I’m amazed Follow my road, to go, and stay Follow my road, to foreign places [Verse 2: WordPlay T. Jay] Beep, beep, beep, beep That’s just how the traffic goes I fell for you and it knocked me out like dominoes Singing out you are not alone (You are not alone) Build me up and I’ll take you home Stacking my cake so hand you some, make you the one Got the hustle in my spirit to the soles up in my feet Must of let me off my leash, on a trip to bring you peace A peace of mind, a piece of me We can get up vis-à-vis Take a visa to Ibiza and we sail up on the sea Let you know just where I’m headed and I’ll take you there with me Asking what’s your fantasy, watch you pose in Vanity In them pictures you look good, but in person you look better I can’t wait to change the weather, take the wine up out the cellar like Toast to all of my love You be driving me crazy, never knew who I was right I can’t kill the buzz Take the journey this way up, hummin’ there’s no better love [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] I got the drive to float away And there ain’t no high that I replace You in my mind for better days Wanna get lost ‘til I’m amazed Follow my road, to go, and stay Follow my road, to foreign places [Bridge: WordPlay T. Jay] We can go the streets will never know we’re lost When you’re there I feel like going on and on We can go the streets will never know we’re lost And I can take you home [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] I got the drive to float away (Float away, yeah) And there ain’t no high that I replace (I replace yeah) You in my mind for better days (Better days yeah) Wanna get lost ‘til I’m amazed (I’m amazed) Follow my road, to go, and stay Follow my road, to foreign places

[Verse 1: WordPlay T. Jay] Never can imagine Me without you that’ll be so tragic So why you even ask it? All the little things that we gotta outlast So why you in the past? Bound to get stained when you’re rolling in the grass I’m tryna keep clean cause I know you might dash And a life all alone ain’t a life worth having [Refrain: WordPlay T. Jay] Do you wanna roll with me Do you wanna roll with me (Hold on) Even when you drive me crazy I never wanna be too sane Happy that you rolled my way Happy that you rolled my way (Oh Lord) I wanna tell you all the things I felt [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] Cause I can’t see myself I can’t see myself, alone Can’t see myself No I can’t see myself, alone Alone, alone [Verse 2: WordPlay T. Jay] Who am I kiddin’? When I picture you gone get this sick kind of feeling Make me wanna throw every dish in the building Cause I seen this life with a miss and the children So ain’t nobody else for me Loving every card that he dealt for me Even when it’s hard never helps to leave You ain’t gotta go far ‘til it’s hard to breath so [Refrain: WordPlay T. Jay] Do you wanna roll with me Do you wanna roll with me (Hold on) Even when you drive me crazy I never wanna be too sane Happy that you rolled my way Happy that you rolled my way (Oh Lord) I wanna tell you all the things I felt [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] Cause I can’t see myself I can’t see myself, alone Can’t see myself No I can’t see myself, alone Alone, alone [Bridge: WordPlay T. Jay] Do you wanna roll with me Do you wanna roll with me (Oh Lord) Hope you don’t say no I don’t wanna lay alone Do you wanna roll with me Do you wanna roll with me (Oh Lord) Without you it don’t leave much else [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] Cause I can’t see myself I can’t see myself, alone Can’t see myself No I can’t see myself, alone Alone, alone I can’t see myself I can’t see myself, alone Can’t see myself No I can’t see myself, alone Alone, alone

Finally 03:20
[Intro: WordPlay T. Jay] Hmm-hm-hm, hm-hm-hm-hm, hm Hm-hm, Hmmm They just gon’ have to wait for this intro This one’s for us [Verse 1: WordPlay T. Jay] I was gonna write a letter to you That says every day that goes by I wanna get better to you All the time I’m just ready to prove That I can take a chance I got nothin’ to lose How did I ever find you? Leave your phone, come along, find a song we can ride to Anything we can rise through It don’t matter if the clouds hang low or the sky’s blue So meet me on a mission When the dinner bell rings you can meet me in the kitchen We can work together we can see through the vision And if you set the table then I can do the dishes Shit, we can never do division Thought I had it all, ‘til I found what was missin’ Not in high school, but I’m down for the physics And know that this forever for the Mr. and the Mrs. [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] Finally I got you And you got me And that’s the way it’s supposed to be [Verse 2: WordPlay T. Jay] We been waiting all this time for a wedding day Tell the family we love that we set a date Knew it from the start, so I never went to hesitate Make me levitate, I ain’t met a better candidate To run for my heart, we can set a pace From anywhere we are we can elevate Gon’ be bumps in the road, never take a break I just want you by my side so I make a space So here we go to the close Whatever cards dealt never go for the fold And if you need a hand I got one you can hold Couple goals like ‘Yonce and Hov Ready for the highs and I’m down for the lows Like a hardware store and it’s down to the rope Nobody could be better for me Mr. and the Mrs. I’m just ready to be [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] Finally I got you And you got me And that’s the way it’s supposed to be [Outro: WordPlay T. Jay] I know that there’s time we won’t see eye to eye and um I know that I’m okay with that I’ve also know for a very long time that I was waiting for you to come around So we can grow together, laugh together, and build something incredible What I didn’t know is what we have now would exceed all of those expectations So one day, when our kids hear this They’ll know that we loved each other to death And the day we got married I said to myself… Finally I got you And you got me And that’s the way it’s supposed to be

Over, Over 03:24
[Verse 1: WordPlay T. Jay] Think I been thinking too long Hold on, come on Damn, gotta start again Must me in a funk like a parliament Huh, gotta write that part again Thinking over, over and I can’t let it go get it off my mind Can’t go to sleep for a wink this week gotta get back time Am I past my prime? Gotta be an optimist They can never know what it cost to get Let me get across the pit Reaching for the hope and all I seem to grasp is pain But it can’t last too long gotta move it past this rain Stuck in a loop and I can’t get thoughts up out my brain Wanna wash it off but I can’t get out my change Want better days but they seem to be all the same I see the light but it’s way beyond my aim [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] Been over all these hurdles and I’m over lows Been over, overthinking wanna let it go It seems like every day is an overload Just checking for the stage when I see the growth [Verse 2: WordPlay T. Jay] Thinkin’ bout the brighter side maybe I can itemize Be taken by surprise all the good that I surmise Stay down to ride, we can multiply what they can’t divide Keep it on the prize, can’t tie us down with no nine to five Look me eye to eye and you see the thoughts that I’m feeling Mesmerized by millions, going round and round with these villains Inside is appealin’ like I’m losing court decisions Breathe I need a revision, always deep in my business so I ain’t never losing my grip, no matter the model I whip I steer the wheel on my ship, yeah Got faith so follow my gut, never operated on luck Simple as God I Trust, yeah [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] Been over all these hurdles and I’m over lows Been over, overthinking wanna let it go It seems like every day is an overload Just checking for the stage when I see the growth [Verse 3: WordPlay T. Jay] Keeping my mental right, so precise I focus on what I’m holding right Near to my heart cause I’m shown the light like A movie scene on those screens Sit on ultralight beams So they know the truth when I’m seen, yeah I aint’ gotta sit and just think a lot About to land cause I seen the plot Diagnose the course cause I seen the doc Setting sail coming off the rock, I’m a just breathe Cause I know my soul sees every goal and all I missed in between No to force, no remorse Rolling with it like motorsports Forever in it like no divorce Born this way so it’s no deport Unorthodox like I’m on to pork Mind strong so I hold the fort Jabbing with it like holding forks Til I knock it out and it’s on the floor, yeah [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] Been over all these hurdles and I’m over lows Been over, overthinking wanna let it go It seems like every day is an overload Just checking for the stage when I see the growth

Wind 03:58
[Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] I’m in the wind I’m sittin’ high Never think about the days of getting low I just think about the ways heal my mind Never sit and contemplate ‘bout feelin’ lonely I’m in the wind I’m sitting high Never think about the days of getting low And in end I’m feeling high Reminisce about the days with you alone always [Verse 1: WordPlay T. Jay] Yeah, I see the runway and it’s clear now We here now so it’s nothing we can fear about (Always) A path we can travel ain’t an obstacle to steer around Don’t feel down, there’s a lot for us to cheer about (Always) So pick a smile for today We came along way so a mile, piece of cake Like we at the alter ain’t a vow we can break God is looking at us, we endowed with the grace See the necessary hurdles as a blessing not a curse Just relax into the moment, there’s a lesson in the worst Like it shipped from Amazon, I’m addressin’ all the perks And if you got some wounds I can dress it when it hurts I put in work, cause that’s all I got to give Try to live in bliss like we did when we was kids I know you got my back so it ain’t hard for me to live Taking all the problems and we toss ‘em in the bin I’m in the wind [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] I’m in the wind I’m sittin’ high Never think about the days of getting low I just think about the ways heal my mind Never sit and contemplate ‘bout feelin’ lonely I’m in the wind I’m sitting high Never think about the days of getting low And in end I’m feeling high Reminisce about the days with you alone always [Verse 2: WordPlay T. Jay] Man, I feel I’m finally who I’m supposed to be And openly, I’m expressing what I know to be (Always) True, and that’s the freedom that I’m feelin’ You can let it all out there’s no reason to conceal it (Always) And I’m always revealin’ – hidden feelings And the weight up off my shoulder got me lighter than a prism Every day I see go by got me further from the stress I protest, like it’s Wednesday afternoon it’s just a test Check, and let the wind take the pain away It never stays new tomorrow ain’t the same today Hey, don’t let the drama press repeat Like you watchin’ episodes of Black Mirror on the screen Sing, until you reach a higher frequency And shake it off so you’re never who you used to be Don’t pretend to deflect and hold it in Take the junk you keep inside and just toss it in the bin I’m in the wind [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] I’m in the wind I’m sittin’ high Never think about the days of getting low I just think about the ways heal my mind Never sit and contemplate ‘bout feelin’ lonely I’m in the wind I’m sitting high Never think about the days of getting low And in end I’m feeling high Reminisce about the days with you alone always [Bridge: WordPlay T. Jay] I come a mighty long way Here to stay, maybe bend cause I’m never gon’ break (Always) So if you need a shoulder I’m just never far away I relate, so you never have to carry all the weight (Always) Uh, I come a mighty long way Here to stay, maybe bend cause I’m never gon’ break So if you need a shoulder I’m just never far away I relate, so you never have to carry all the weight, wait [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] I’m in the wind I’m sittin’ high Never think about the days of getting low I just think about the ways heal my mind Never sit and contemplate ‘bout feelin’ lonely I’m in the wind I’m sitting high Never think about the days of getting low And in end I’m feeling high Reminisce about the days with you alone always

Day Dreaming 02:57
[Verse 1: WordPlay T. Jay] Yo, zoning out like voting routes All I know is I’m holding out On my dreams for the whole amount Taking all I got so I don’t shout Let me go cause I can’t control All these lyrics I wanna note On the rise like graph slopes Putting plus one on my passport On my back like a Jansport Been On The Map and I run for it Growing tall like run Forrest Come and see what I done for it Pay me up cause I’m done chorin’ Holding notes like the whole chorus Too strong like Chuck Norris Slide for me cause I’m on the board Turn the fans on making noise No fast food, not taking orders Over the line I’m crossing borders Tossing trash like checking hoarders Get the message and I say it all the same never change It don’t work unless I’m getting to my dreams, yeah [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] Stocking shelves and I’m getting to green but it seems It don’t work unless I’m getting to my dreams Driving miles putting distance on the screen and it seems It don’t work unless I’m getting to my dreams At the office, got a meeting with the team yet it seems It don’t work unless I’m getting to my dreams On the call and at times I wanna screen and it means It don’t work unless I’m getting to my dreams [Verse 2: WordPlay T. Jay] They can say what I gotta do They can think what I gotta prove But it don’t determine my latitude Cause I gain the most from my gratitude Doubtin’ me I’m not mad at you You only know what you been through But I bounce back like a senzu Gotta cut the shit like a ginsu Making marks with my pencil, is all I wanna express For all the people that resonate, is all I wanna impress This time I wanna invest Not on the job for weeks, I’m unique So don’t see it as a marvel when I peak Making stories like it’s Marvel, in the sheets like the ink Like Lil Wayne in two-thousands how I’m making all the feats Like it’s cash in the deposit I’m a take it to the Brink Every day that I spend dreaming I get closer to relief It’s the peace [Chorus: WordPlay T. Jay] Stocking shelves and I’m getting to green but it seems It don’t work unless I’m getting to my dreams Driving miles putting distance on the screen and it seems It don’t work unless I’m getting to my dreams At the office, got a meeting with the team yet it seems It don’t work unless I’m getting to my dreams On the call and at times I wanna screen and it means It don’t work unless I’m getting to my dreams Stocking shelves and I’m getting to green but it seems It don’t work unless I’m getting to my dreams Driving miles putting distance on the screen and it seems It don’t work unless I’m getting to my dreams At the office, got a meeting with the team yet it seems It don’t work unless I’m getting to my dreams On the call and at times I wanna screen and it means It don’t work unless I’m getting to my dreams

about

The 8th Studio Album by WordPlay T. Jay.

The album features 15 tracks that reflect the 30-year-old artist’s motivations — retirement, security, and finding people to with whom to share his life — and the work he puts in to achieve all those goals.


The album was inspired by his 2017 single, “Overtime.”


“I left the grocery store one day, and I started thinking about what my life at almost 30 years old,” T. Jay said. “I worked all of these hours and I was wondering if it was worth it. I came to the conclusion it was and started humming the words, ‘Overtime, overtime. All the time on my grind.’ That stuck with me, I drove home, and I made the beat. Myself and my intern, Garret Sanchez, worked on the music video and the rest is history.”


From then, T. Jay said “Over:Time” has been a work-in-progress for the past two years. The album is completed and ready for those who feel they are putting in the Overtime for the ones they love.
