Lyrics
[verse]
Ain't no joke behind these words, ain't no laughing at the door
Every line I'm speaking now I've lived a hundred times before
You can smile if you want to, doubt me if it makes you feel
But when the smoke clears from the room, you gon' see that this was real
I don't play around with promises, I don't play around with talk
Every step I take is measured like a soldier on patrol walk
Grinding since the sun came up until the moon takes the stage
Every single word I'm speaking comes from something more than rage
[chorus]
I'm serious, ain't a single word for play
I'm serious, meant every thing I had to say
I'm serious, watch it happen right before your eyes
I'm serious, ain't no room here left for lies
[verse]
Every corner that I came from taught me not to fake the part
Learned the truth gets you further than a counterfeit heart
So when I tell you that I'm building something bigger than the block
Believe it, 'cause the proof is already ticking like a clock
I don't need the validation, don't need nobody's applause
Just need the room to keep on moving past whatever was the cause
Every obstacle's a lesson, every silence is a plan
Watch me turn the whole thing over with my own two hands
[chorus]
I'm serious, ain't a single word for play
I'm serious, meant every thing I had to say
I'm serious, watch it happen right before your eyes
I'm serious, ain't no room here left for lies
[bridge]
No time for the games, no time for pretend
Every second that I'm given, I intend to spend it well
So when you see the outcome, when you see the final scene
Remember I told you exactly what I meant, exactly what I mean
[chorus]
I'm serious, ain't a single word for play
I'm serious, meant every thing I had to say
I'm serious, watch it happen right before your eyes
I'm serious, ain't no room here left for lies
