Hour Glass

Why does time pass?
It is a question so profound
That few people would even think to ask it
Yet its effects are all around
Human beings live in a perpetual present
Inexorably sealed off from the past
But moving relentlessly into the future
We just grains of sand in an hourglass
Turned upside down, allowed to pass
Down to the bottom and surrounded fast
'till the shit tip over hit the ground and smash
I never felt like surviving last
Go through hell just to rise from ash
Life go two ways you can cry and laugh
Keep her ya’ll live slow or ya' dying fast
Tick tick tick get lit lit lit
Sign of the beast is 666
Talk that shit that bitch get hit
All up in that ass like quick, quick, quick
Young gonna bring ya' the apocalypse
If ya’ll thinking ya’ll dope I’m not convinced
And I’m an optimist, triple OG’s we top the list, you’ll come across a fist
Nigga be delivering the massive attack
This rack of attacks hit em' after the fact
Just impassion the whack, quit the yackidy yack
Its boom boom boom and I’m fad for the strap
The clocks concerned I’m a working man
Nothing ya’ll do concerned a man
My shit bang from here to Kurdistan
Got a real bad bitch with a burka tan
Physical attraction, do a little latching
Everywhere I go they be talking with an accent
Go against my, girl you better be relaxing
I’m putting my foot down and gaining better traction
Ya’ll don’t really want a part of that
Cause ain’t nobody you know hit hard as that
Took a bit of time off but I brought her back
I make your axis stop like a heart attack
— like ya never left
Time never stop, what more can I say?
Counting the digits no pause or delay
I’m punching the clock, just ticking away
Seconds to minutes, minutes to days
Time never stop, what more can I say?
Counting the digits, no pause or delay
I’m punching the clock, just ticking away
Seconds to minutes, minutes to days
The clock don’t stop, time keep ticking
I’m on the block, you can find me tripping
Think about the birds that I’ve been flipping
I don’t think about much cause' my mind keep slipping
Itty bitty grains of sand in the glass
Disappearing fast we abandon the past
Mask on my face and abandon the cash
Cause everything I’m hearing is amateur trash
Bitches uncut every line is clean
Forget about the bullshit behind the scene
Every track that we drop like a time machine
Like a butterfly effect in a Siamese dream
Waking up drunk in a different time zone
A diamond in the rough, fuck your rhyme stone
And I’m back right now but we’re leaving your mind blown
Putting holes in your brain like an iPhone
This longevity never get ahead of me
Better be mine or watch your identity
Energy high stay lost in the melody
Steadily tryna flunk out every enemy
Ask me why, never gonna live my life
Pass me by, understand it better
When they actually try, but they don’t wanna hear me
Like a nasty lie, we can catch me high
Probably only bought up like an ounce of weed
But I bounce a beat while they sound a sleep
Ain’t sleeping on us but they counting sheep
Now thinking neighbours coming from down the street
When the shit get big gotta pipe the connection
Full speed ahead we don’t wait for direction
If you talk shit better pray for protection
Hundred every day we ain’t wasting a second
Time never stop, what more can I say?
Counting the digits no pause or delay
I’m punching the clock, just ticking away
Seconds to minutes, minutes to days
Time never stop, what more can I say?
Counting the digits, no pause or delay
I’m punching the clock, just ticking away
Seconds to minutes, minutes to days
