yo see right now i m facing time and i don t know how long it could be four years ten years could be life watch this last time i had a schedule it said maths and geography last time i felt embarrassed i was stood in the dock and my mum couldn t look at me last time i seen my dad he was asking me if i m gonna do this properly now they call me an mc master of ceremonies but time is the master because time will turn all this to a memory and i don t think i m built for the industry all the fake smiles and laughter make me want to turn into a mystery cause i know what people are after critics and journalists trying to get to me i preferred being a grafter you know living under the radar with nothing but drugs and money to look after but now i ve gotta see television as a factor i ve got responsibilities everybody wants something but they come wearing a mask cause they re never gonna ask ya even a friend can turn to an actor they act like they re happy you made it but feel like they deserve your wages and at that point it s the end of the chapter i m losing friends and gaining enemies in fact more to the point i m losing patience with negative energies i had to change my number because conversations were lacking in relevance i wanna be top of the food chain this year i don t wanna walk with the elephants i don t wanna go back to claiming benefits  i used to love money but i don t no more i got money that i don t count no more i ll listen out for the trial no more we don t have to be down no more but i m facing time i m famous now so i m facing time they wanna know what i mean by facing time if i could turn back the hands of time i d go back to when i had freedom but now i m facing time first time i ve felt secure in all twenty five years first time i ve felt like i don t need people to deal with fears first time i told my dad i loved him i was being sincere but family s a word and words just don t mean nothing out here i brought exposure to my city and i don t care by those who feel like it should be them and it s not fair bring me one other person that could ve climbed these stairs i know they don t want me to succeed but i ve been saying my prayers they wanna know what i mean by facing time they wanna know runs through the mind of a famous guy they think fame means plenty of money and a glamorous life but fame is a jail and not everyone here will survive i m new to the wing new to the guards i m new to the whole vibe for the things i ve done i m facing life where else could i go i don t blend outside looks like i ll just have to do my time i used to love money but i don t no more i got money that i don t count no more i ll listen out for the trial no more we don t have to be down no more but i m facing time i m famous now so i m facing time they wanna know what i mean by facing time if i could turn back the hands of time i d go back to when i had freedom but now i m facing time
