Time

(Verse 1)

Watches out the window as the time flies

Before I clocked in Cronos as the god of the bottom line

Cycles had ride along black cul de sacs road bikes within

A circle while the future was on my back the daily grind

Before my time became commodified seen my flesh filtered

Turned to grains through a dollar sign knew that time was

Money but he couldn't by his time all who broke can't afford to

Fall behind the clocks design, Death is one as my life within

The other hours seconds three handed monster where poverty

Is governed learned nothing is enough all we have is those that

Love us from dust-to-dust family in rust from tryna find that supper

Every morsel hustle baby eyes crying home ever known

Now I'm sore in every muscle lately but one day maybe.

 

(Verse 2)

On the death march off the block my pace resembles Stabroke

Clock frozen time con artist hidden disguise lurking to take what

Is mine, that cat that eat your dinner wondering feline prowl a

Place on liming corners flipping tales the fool's demise from

Pocketed devices, quote suspicious prices those slaves to his vices

Who wouldn't know what good advice is now

Like it or not rocking numbers round this clock

Get money tick tock, Get money tock (Yeah)

 

(Verse 3)

Times arrow keep marching forward never will it reverse

So book the dates at funeral parlors appointed wounds

All need to nurse gave and take mothers fathers all debt

Is due the gifted curse just tryna keep my head above water

Not come too soon a dying thirst my mentor slain another martyr

The wicked streets don't reimburse full pursuit almighty dollar

Grand illusion my truth dispersed after his crash I froze still

Saw the universe a Sisyphus looking for Now only the present works
