Eminem stopped yelling, Post Malone stopped drinking—and the internet lost its mind. No one saw this coming: “Time Flies Away,” a worship-tinged, soul-searching track that has fans crying instead of head-banging. From Detroit’s angriest lyricist to the tattooed melody king, both artists have gone full emotional confessional. No disses, no flexing—just two broken voices whispering to the heavens (and to us). Is this hip-hop’s redemption arc or just a midlife music crisis? Either way, if you thought rap couldn’t be vulnerable, raw, or even spiritual—this track will wreck your assumptions and maybe even your mascara.
From the first haunting piano chord, “Time Flies Away” sets a different tone. Instead of fire and fury, Eminem enters with vulnerability, rapping about regrets, mortality, faith, and the fleeting nature of life:
“I spent years fightin’ demons, but never said grace / Now I’m beggin’ heaven for one more day in this place…”
Post Malone’s hook, raw and angelic, floats above it all like a hymn:
“Time flies away like prayers in the rain / But I’m holding on, I’m calling Your name…”
What makes this track so surprising is the sincerity. There’s no sarcasm. No irony. Just two artists at their most human, using their platform to wrestle with meaning, mortality, and something greater than themselves.
Fans have taken to social media calling it “the most unexpected worship song of the year,” with others dubbing it “Lose Yourself meets Oceans.”
The song has already sparked conversations across fanbases, church circles, and music blogs, with many praising the authentic spiritual undertones and the unexpected power of hip-hop as a vehicle for worship and reflection.
“Time Flies Away” may not be what fans expected from Eminem and Post Malone—but it might be exactly what they needed: a reminder that even the biggest stars wrestle with doubt, faith, and the search for peace.
