No time but your time

Always said I would do it one day

When tomorrow came I wanted to quit after one day.

God says to rest on Sunday 

Forget the rest of em, it’s just one day

Resting all day, gonna need some sun some day.

Just another day 

Oh wait it’s new year’s day

Make some goals like a run day

Wanted to do it but it was Monday 

Finally went on a run but it was Thursday 

Couldn’t even finish you were Thursday 

Losing to your mind everyday

Don’t give up though every day is a new day

You starting thinking you’ll do it next week

But you hate that you feel so weak

Come on do it on the weekend

You can’t let the week end

That’s why you feel so weakened

College football on a Saturday 

Watching other people run it’s a fun day

Up past midnight crap it’s sunday

Bro get some sleep it’s a rest day

 

But you woke up and it was all a bad dream

Forgetting you are in the NFL 

While remembering your early days

Never thought you would make it

But knowing you could

Everyone gotta start somewhere no matter what level

Made it up from rock bottom you’re at the next level

The decision is up to you.

Day one or one day?

Patience is needed all the way

If it is worth the wait

Doesn’t matter if you are a little late

Worked so hard to get a contract

So sad to work your whole life to achieve your dream but be contracted

Maybe you made it but at what cost.

NFL plays on sundays

But it is rest day

Choose what you want to for the rest of your days

I know playing is your thing but it isn’t God's way

Somethings are just bigger than football

Doesn’t seem fair but God is just

More important than a business.

Virtue is what matters don’t be worried to stand out

Protest sunday games, you need to stand up

Listen to god’s calling

Make a calling to others

Change starts with one
