No time wasted

There is no time to waste 

Time comes, and time goes 
The clock keeps ticking and tocking 
Life keeps going 
There's no stopping 
Stay on your hustle and grind 
You can waste some things 
But don't waste your time 
Your time is precious 
Don't just give it away 
be selfish 
Put your time 
To some good use 
And time will tell
How much and how can you excel 

Waste, no time 
Time can't be wasted
Tick tock 
You've got to shake it
(Repeat 1x)

Time waits on not a soul
Shift it 
Are you in control 
You bold 
Yes, I am 
The clock is ticking 
It doesn't stop 
It keeps going 
The hours , the minutes, and the seconds 
Some time prove 
Life lessons ?? 
Time is of the essence 
Essence is of the time 
You can press play , fast forward, then rewind, 
You can also run it back 
Time will put you on the right track ?? 
 
Waste, no time 
Time can't be wasted
Tick tock 
You've got to shake it
(Repeat 1x)

Time comes 
Time goes 
Know that you hold 
The power in your hand 
Make it count 
Have a plan 

Waste, no time 
Time can't be wasted
Tick tock 
You've got to shake it
(Repeat until chorus fades)
