Intro
Stamped, not scripted Time don’t lie, this life left marks in it
Verse 1
Corner store knew my face, let me slide on the tab Repo truck circlin’ nights, mama prayin’ we good Same crew since the buses, same cuts in the slab Same phone ringin’ collect, had to talk through the glass Clock watched us bleed for it, nobody saved us Cold nights, hot blocks, we was raisin’ ourselves They pop up now like they been in the pictures But the frame don’t forget who was really there
Chorus
Uncut timestamp, can’t edit that When it went down, yeah, the clock got that Real ones stayed, had my back through that Uncut timestamp, don’t lie like rap Time don’t lie Time don’t lie Uncut timestamp, forever that
Verse 2
Money showed faces I never seen before Same dudes doubted me, askin’ for seats now Name on the lease now, mama got keys now But success get lonely when the room get quiet Had to learn silence, had to learn distance Some love was fake, but the pain was efficient I still answer 4 AM for my brothers ‘Cause timestamps prove who was really with us
Chorus
Uncut timestamp, can’t edit that When it went down, yeah, the clock got that Real ones stayed, had my back through that Uncut timestamp, don’t lie like rap Stamped yeah No erase nah Uncut timestamp, forever that
Bridge
No rewind when the truth hurt No filters on the long nights If you wasn’t there when it was dirt Don’t pop out when the stars bright
Chorus
Uncut timestamp, can’t edit that History written in seconds flat Real ones here, yeah, we forever strapped Uncut timestamp, remember that
Outro
Time don’t lie And neither did we
Inside the recording
Stamped, not scripted Time don’t lie, this life left marks in it
Uncut timestamp, can’t edit that When it went down, yeah, the clock got that
Time don’t lie And neither did we
