Ed Sha - I Collect

Yeah
Yeah
You dropped in the game with a cry and a wish
I marked your first step on the concrete dish
Mama prayed hard, Papa chased the bag
I sat in the corner just watching the tag
You thought you had forever, yeah, you believed the lie
But I've been the shadow creeping up on your sky
You're running fast, I'm standing still
You bend the rules, I own the will
I don't chase, I collect
I'm the pulse in the block, I'm the pulse in the block
I'm the heat in the chase
You can try to ghost me
But I'm all up in your space
I don't ask, I don't knock
I just take what's mine
I'm the end of the line
Every single time
Yeah, I'm time
Man, I don't play fair
Once I got you in my sights
Ain't no way out of there
You grind it all night
Trying to cop your dream
I slipped through your fingers like smoke, like steam
You flexed with the crew, spun the block for fame
I marked every win, but I counted the shame
You said, "I got time," yeah, that's what they all say
But I don't do extensions, I don't hit snooze or play
You're running fast, I'm standing still
You bend the rules, I own the will
I don't chase, I collect
I'm the pulse in the block, I'm the heat in the chase
You can try to ghost me, but I'm all up in your space
I don't ask, I don't knock, I just take what's mine
I'm the end of the line every single time
Yeah, I'm time and I don't play fair
Once I got you in my sights
Ain't no way out of there
You look in the mirror, see the lies on your face
Asked where the youth, where the pace
I don't answer, I just keep the score
When I call you answer no more
I'm the pulse in the block, I'm the heat in the chase
You can try to ghost me, but I'm all up in your space
I don't ask, I don't knock, I just take what's mine
I'm the end of the line every single time
I don't chase
I collect
