Time Lyrics
Year of Release: 2007
Verse 1
- Time is on my hands
- I’ve got plans that reach beyond
- What’s already been and gone
- So I’m trying to see beyond
- All my present setbacks
- While I’m still keen and young
- Put my soul into every project I’m featured on
- I could write a list and it’d be a metre long
- Stating all the opportunities that I believe will come
- Where’s the sound advice when people speak in tongues?
- Many think they tell it right when they should be keeping Mum
- Silence! I prefer to carve my own path
- Learn the hard way: drop the odd faux pas
- Don’t laugh! Doing what you want is so hard
- And you won’t be mustering a hot response with no graft:
- Most can’t, find a way to show class
- Stuck in stormy waters without a Coast Guard
- Have a crack at life: catch it while it goes past
- Get your plan revised, if you slack, you won’t pass
Hook
- Time won’t stop x3
- Even if I ask nicely
Verse 2
- I’ll have the time of my life in my life and times
- No time to revise how to write guidelines
- I’ve picked a fine time to make the limelight right
- Fully mine, live, in my prime, riding the high
- Until we make what we’re pie in the sky
- Pipe dreams seem likely: I’m biding my time
- On fire like pyrotechnics, defying a sceptic
- Proving that I’m time effective
- I’ll grip tight when there’s time on my hands
- And try and think wise when devising a scam
- Trying to fathom how my dice are likely to land
- And when it comes time to expand and push boundaries
- When I put out releases
- It sounds crazy; many could vouch for me
- So look out for me, ’cos I look bound to be
- A figure of the times who just found his niche
Hook
- Time won’t stop x3
- Even if I ask nicely
Verse 3
- I would rather snatch a far-fetched fantasy, as it flew free
- Than sit back in apathy and have it elude me
- But do see, how I’m only grabbing it loosely
- And duly, sending it back when it suits me
- In pursuit of elusive dreams
- Use of reason is superseded by human greed
- We’re a youthful breed, with consumer needs
- That spends out long before it’s accrued the means
- Stop acting like a clueless teen
- Always living for the minute is a fruitless feat
- Take time out for soothing sleep
- Set your mood at ease
- Or descend into lunacy
- Yes a boost is a boost but
- Too much speed leaves your goose in a stew
- Till you lose the heat
- Make time for tomfoolery
- But make sure life’s crucial pieces are fused congruently
