[Hook x2] Lights off Ain't nobody watching me I heard about the man in the sky But he probably fell asleep Yeah, and you say Audemars, Audemars, Audemars But still don't know the time that sun comes down from the stars
[Verse 1] Yeah, they say that time waits for no man Nah, they probably lyin' Cause time wait on me like a servant all of the time But I know some people who actually serving time Committed to this grind, or just committed some crime Sometimes I wish some more time to think And all the time in the world is all the time I need And I know eternity's calling but my mind too busy racing to pay any mind Spend a whole lot of money on a watch Ironic cause I got it but I hardly sit and watch the time tick by I spend time trying to buy it to own time Never thought that I was only wasting my own time Who holds time? They say he'll be coming in no time Pray I pay attention, cause I'm giving him no time When the lights off, is anybody watching me? Heard the man above never slumber, never sleep
[Hook]
[Verse 2] On the corners, in the alleys I see coners and cowards Scared to question their existence like ain't no final hour Can we blame the sins of a reverend for all our irreverence? Does my time spent on earth qualify me for heaven? Did we tick him off by wasting all these ticks on this clock? Or is he graciously giving me time to give him my heart? I'm sure it's the latter, sure that it matters And I believe I've been given all this time so I could try to redeem it Or make the most of this stopwatch that I'm racing You stop the watch you ain't racing You erasing your minutes, you can't replace 'em And at the end of your days when eternity's in your face You'll have one life to offer up and it's service to lay to waste So my Rollie's telling me to roll out Make investments with my time while I'm tryna hold out, hold out And fame, money, success be competing for my investments But I can't take 'em with me when it's time for me to exit
[Hook] With “Timepiece,” Lecrae makes a good point about our society’s value of material possessions, essentially saying that we spend so much TIME trying to acquire expensive items (watches, cars, houses, etc.) that we often miss what really matters, like our relationships with friends, family and God.
