[Verse] Yo, landlord knockin’ with the usual plea, "Rent’s late, my friend, that’s the rule, you see." I’m sippin’ on that chill, got my rhythm tight, Gotta keep the soul alive, even in the fight. [Pre-Chorus] But I’m not broke, just on a different track, Got faith in my steps, I’m always on the map. The money’s on its way, no need to stress— I’m a man with a plan, and my rhythm’s my address. [Chorus] Ah-ah, rent’s late, but I’m still on time! Got a groove so deep it can’t be out of line. No stress, no fear, I’m dancing through the rain— My faith is my rent, and the music’s my gain! Ah-ah, rent’s late, but I’m still on time! Got a groove so deep it can’t be out of line. No worry, no pause, I’m a king in my zone— Faith is my rent, and the beat’s my throne! [Verse] They said "You’re slipping," I said, "Nah, I’m in my flow." Every step I take’s a rhythm, every word I know. The cash may be delayed, but my heart’s in gear, I’m on the move, got a whole new year. [Pre-Chorus] I’m not running late, I’m just tuning the song, With every note I rise, I’m where I belong. The world may doubt, but I keep my stride— My faith is my rent, and my joy is my guide. [Chorus] Ah-ah, rent’s late, but I’m still on time! Got a groove so deep it can’t be out of line. No stress, no fear, I’m dancing through the rain— My faith is my rent, and the music’s my gain! Ah-ah, rent’s late, but I’m still on time! Got a groove so deep it can’t be out of line. No worry, no pause, I’m a king in my zone— Faith is my rent, and the beat’s my throne! [Bridge] When the world says “No,” I say “Ah-ah!” When they count me out, I still dance in the saw. The check’s on its way like a drumbeat slow, But my soul’s already paid, I’m already home. [Chorus] Ah-ah, rent’s late, but I’m still on time! Got a groove so deep it can’t be out of line. No stress, no fear, I’m dancing through the rain— My faith is my rent, and the music’s my gain! Ah-ah, rent’s late, but I’m still on time! Got a groove so deep it can’t be out of line. No worry, no pause, I’m a king in my zone— Faith is my rent, and the beat’s my throne! [Outro] Ah-ah… rent’s late, but I’m still on time… Music’s my rent, and the rhythm’s my rhyme… Ah-ah… on time… Yeah… on time…
