Lyrics for time (a dream deferred)

Are we out of time? Are we out of time? Walked to the edge with my eyes closed All my inhibitions in a whole different time zone I could take one step so easily I’ll just be grey, limp, and cold on the drive home But is that so bad? Put my body in the sprinter van Don’t drive too fast Was supposed to wake up and play Terminal 5 But they could use a hologram while they bump me and cry, nigga Is that so bad? Is that so bad? A dream deferred Right along with ugliest fate I leave now then I ain’t do so bad So I chuck my deuce Refuse to die slow here’s my truce Put my dust in a hydroflask Magic, I go poof Right now, nigga this my truth My feet whispered to me not so fast And told me call my roots So I called my roots Damn Pick up the phone I need you now (Pick it up) Pick up the phone I need you now (Pick it up) Pick up the phone I need you Now Pick it up Mama, mama Am I out of time? Let me know right now Mama, am I out of time? I just wanna turn around
