C Em Am
When the stage is dark and the curtains close the last time
F
Promise me you did what you could with your life
C Em Am
When the lights go out and the colors fade
No more songs to play
F
It will be too late
[Verse 1]
C
Okay, too late, too late
Em
Won't wait, won't wait
Got people to see
Am
Got money to make
F
On my grind everyday and I don't hesitate
When you grind, you realize time what it take
[Pre-Chorus]
C Em
But all you gotta do is hold on
Am
Keep on doin' right, don't go wrong
F
And keep your real ones beside you
Stay down and let patience guide you

Stand on my job and puttin' God first
