The Time Is Now
[chorus: John Cena]
Your time is up, my time is now
You can’t see me, my time is now
It’s the franchise, boy I’m shinin now
You can’t see me, my time is now!
[John Cena]
In case you forgot or fell off I’m still hot - knock your shell off
My money stack fat plus I can’t turn the swell off
The franchise, doin big bid’ness, I live this
It’s automatic I win this - oh you hear those horns, you finished
A soldier, and I stay under you fightin
Plus I’m stormin on you chumps like I’m thunder and lightning
Ain’t no way you breakin me kid, I’m harder than nails
Plus I keep it on lock, like I’m part of the jail
I’m slaughterin stale, competition, I got the whole block wishin
they could run with my division but they gone fishin -
- with no bait, kid your boy hold weight
I got my soul straight, I brush your mouth like Colgate
In any weather I’m never better your boy’s so hot
you’ll never catch me in the next man’s sweater
If they hate, let ‘em hate, I drop ya whole clan
Lay yo’ a** DOWN for the three second TAN
[chorus]
[Tha Trademarc]
Yeah, uhh
It’s gon’ be what it’s gon’ be
Five pounds of courage buddy, bass tint pants with a gold T
Uhh - it’s a war dance and victory step
A raw stance is a gift, when you insist it’s my rep
John Cena, Trademarc, y’all are so-so
And talk about the bread you make but don’t know the recipe for dough though
Aimin guns in all your photos, that’s a no-no
When this pop, you’ll liplock, your big talk’s a blatant no-show
See what happens when the ice age melt
You see monetary status is not what matters, but it helps
I rock a timepiece by Benny if any
The same reason y’all could love me is the same reason y’all condemn me
A man’s measured by the way that he thinks
Not clothing lines, ice links, leather and minks
I spent 20 plus years seekin knowledge of self
So for now Marc Predka’s livin live for wealth

1. The mood of the song is that he is angry because he is talking about how he is a wrestler and that he is going to beat his opponent and win.
2. He is talking about how it’s his time to be on top and be the best in the wrestling business.

Do you think it’s about wrestling because that’s what the video shows? Or, are you sure that’s the only message? Perhaps wrestling itself is a symbol or a metaphor. HMMMM…..
This song is FULL of figurative language. What does he compare himself to?

I think that he is comparing himself to the MAFIA because when he says franchise he’s telling you that he is very wealthy and he has a really big business.I also think that he is reffering to the MAFIA because he is saying that everyone are chumps and that they should not push him around like if he is not tough or else he would beat them up.Also when he says it’s his time to shine he is saying that it is time for him to start going through the ranks and be number 1.

When he says “I’m thunder and lightning” he is saying that he is as strong as thunder and as quick as lightning which means that he could beat up any guy without breaking a sweat.Also when he says “I’m as hard as nails” he is saying that he is not easy to beat.Next when he says “Plus I keep it on lock, like i’m part of the jail” he is saying that he doesn’t want to break free from what is keeping him from fighting because he will cause bad things to happen.After when he says “but they gone fishin with no bait” he is trying to say that they were trying to be in wis group but they left without success.Finally when he says “I brush your mouth like colagate” he is saying that he will knock you out.
