A Matter of Time

Never so them plan it, but a we a run the planet

Babylon want fi ban it, so me stash it inna the bonnet

Scent them couldn't stand it, no, them couldn't overstand it

And them quick fi panic when see coming for it

Long time now them have it, so them relaxed in the habit

Asked for it politely, but right now, we a go grab it

Even if you put me with the crabs inna the barrel

Shell the whole a dem and then step out, a drink me sorrel

Reach for me seat so, see it every season

When you are believer, don't flinch for any reason

Not now, then when? Not me, then who?

Man love talk, but refuse to do

Well, if you seek, you find

But never you cheat the line

'Cause it gon' take all of your trying

To make something out of your life

So whenever you see me shine

The blessings that I receive, divine

And I gotta get what's mine

It's only a matter of time

Only when you prepare shall it appear for you

The universe sincere, she taking care of you

So if you doing what you can, and you going with the plan

You have no reason to ever live in fear, do you?

'Cause that's the worst type of living, I can tell you

Put you pon  a level, make you start fi doubt yourself

The thoughts about regrets, the what if, the shoulda could

I living in the present, that is forever my mood

To them, gatekeepers will want keep it closed, so

Watch me come through and bulldoze you

I'm plotting them down too

Naa stop until a rubble in the street

If you nuh want no trouble, then nuh bother trouble me

Well, if you seek, you find

But never you cheat the line

'Cause it gon' take all of your trying

To make something out of your life

So whenever you see me shine

The blessings that I receive, divine

And I gotta get what's mine

It's only a matter of time

Yeah, middle of Mexico at midnight

On account of all the things that I did right

Many lyrics that I did write was just insight

Who knew these minds it would ignite?

It looked right from the shift that I did sight

I took flight from the spliff that I did light

Heights, lyrics and riddim, dem a fit right

Christ, till one get high, coodeh, fist fight

Inna battles with all parts of my brain

Like the ones that hit, I never thought of again

More responsible, I said I ought to have been

Call the constable or call Hawkeye again

And, lawd, Diggy, them hang on by a string

When man hear dem tune you, man gon' wan' buy a tin

And watch he talk, man a laugh, I a grin

I have been a part of it, start of the thing

If you seek, you find

But never you cheat the line

'Cause it gon' take all of your trying

To make something out of your life

So whenever you see me shine

The blessings that I receive, divine

And I gotta get what's mine

It's only a matter of time
