Minutes Don’t Miss

Intro (Ticking clock / whisper)

Tick… tick…

You hear that?

DJ Mike on the beat

That ain’t a beat…

that’s time chasin’ you…

⸻

Hook (Hypnotic / steady)

Minutes don’t miss, they don’t wait for nobody

I blink twice, now the whole room changed on me

Hands on the clock still movin’ like they know me

Tryna outrun it, but it right there on me

Minutes don’t miss, nah, they don’t rewind

Every second gone, I can’t press rewind

I been spendin’ life like I got more time

Now I hear it tick every time I go quiet

⸻

Verse 1 (Smooth storytelling)

Woke up late, but it felt too soon

Sunlight cut like it knew the truth

Said “you behind,” I ain’t argue back

‘Cause I felt that weight in the things I lack

Used to say “I’ll get there later”

Now “later” turned into pressure

All them plans I was ‘bout to make

Turned into things I don’t remember

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I keep sayin’ “one more day”

Time just smirk and fade away

Every promise I delay

Comin’ back like “what you say?”

⸻

Hook

Minutes don’t miss, they don’t wait for nobody

I blink twice, now the whole room changed on me

Hands on the clock still movin’ like they know me

Tryna outrun it, but it right there on me

Minutes don’t miss, nah, they don’t rewind

Every second gone, I can’t press rewind

I been spendin’ life like I got more time

Now I hear it tick every time I go quiet

⸻

Verse 2 (Faster cadence / internal rhyme)

Tick tock, chest locked, feel it in my pulse now

Deadlines, red signs, I can’t even slow down

Past life flash quick when I close both eyes

Future look back like “you runnin’ outta tries”

I had chances I ain’t touch

Had people I ain’t love enough

Had dreams I ain’t chase down

Now they echo when it’s quiet—loud

⸻

Bridge (Beat drop / minimal)

What if…

Time ain’t movin’…

What if…

You just losin’ it…

⸻

Hook (Bigger / layered)

Minutes don’t miss, they don’t wait for nobody

I blink twice, now the whole room changed on me

Hands on the clock still movin’ like they know me

Tryna outrun it, but it right there on me

Minutes don’t miss, nah, they don’t rewind

Every second gone, I can’t press rewind

I been spendin’ life like I got more time

Now I hear it tick every time I go quiet

⸻

Outro (Ticking fades / spoken)

Tick…

You still got time…

But not as much as you think…
