time time time keeps on slipping away and my mind mind mind keeps on tripping everyday time moves slowly time moves quick i never really thought life would move like this time moves slowly time moves quick as the clock goes tock a gun goes click time moves slowly time moves quick i never really thought life would move like this time moves slowly time moves quick tock tick gun click with 24 hours 365 days that doesnt leave me much time to get this pay but maybe just enough days to pave the way for youth trapped in a maze in pursuit of the grave but some days i ll lose vision with my decisions living selfish helpless as intuitions imprisoned cuz really i d like to show more love to those who raised me but the scale often tips up to rolling with my lady or maybe i d rather spend time with friends instead raising a glass to the good life ahead as we re caught in a loop tryna cop that lexus coupe others are walking in gangs wondering whose next to shoot or battling obesity shaving their every calorie while third world kids scrounge food to avoid casualty it saddens me but somehow i keep on counting down the minutes till the day we gone as the clock keeps ticking and the gears turn and years blur and the fears turn into sorrows and the heart keeps sinking the tears turn into a river deep enough to drown out tomorrow it makes it harder today harder to say how i feel in a world that aint real it makes it harder to move harder to prove who you are and they still cant tell it s true we are aloof to views and the signs abusing in a bind confused and blind i see we are living in confusing times so in order to gain my soul i had to lose my mind im far from perfect in fact im part of the blame but i can wallow in vein or i can hollar his name so as the bullets fly imma look into the sky and never ever let em pull the wool over my eyes  we working hard so we can earn a bigger figure this is our theme music and my lifes a motion picture waiting with their hands out searching for the litter im coming from a city where they sabotaging jiggers women come around cause they think ya dudes ballin spending at the club when i know that i aint got it shed it just to make it and start out fresh again the sticky stays around so you can see it in the air distraction is the only thing in life that isnt rare and you can walk it out like whats his face pretend you dont care but im a realist so if you know me than you know it i aint that sensitive i crush my opponents cause time is of the essence and real gods know it if you want the same stuff dont say it dog show it we spit bars that cloud up like skies the reason we rhyme we reign hard on you guys time
