It seems like lately time be beatin' my ass,
|
Every step is like a right hook from Iron Mike Tyson in his prime,
|
It's like my mind is on a tredmill,
|
I'm sweatin' bullets,
|
see the plug but I can't pull it,
|
This belt just keeps bringin' me back,
|
And every minute is like a 'tiger uppercut' from Sagat,
|
I'm up against these ropes,
|
and ain't no tellin' if I win or not,
|
These gloves are getting heavy,
|
it's fight or flight you know how that goes,
|
Facin' clocks is chasin',
|
got me dodgin' obstacles,
|
And every hour is like a tightrope I walk with greasy shoes,
|
Still yet I got my conscience tellin' me that I can't lose,
|
So every time I start slippin' ego's start trippin',
|
I focus real hard and levitate just like I'm GOD,
|
And I'm livin' lovely,
|
I'm in the clouds no one above me,
|
With the gift to differentiate snakes from those that love me,
|
There's a thin line between happiness and hopeless,
|
An even thinner line between on point and out of focus,
|
BUT Back to my story about my fall from glory,
|
And how I levitate from the fate time put before me,
|
They say 'Be patient',
|
but what the fuck is patience when my heart is racin'?
|
Put yourself in my situation,
|
Try to be humble,
|
you won't refrain from getting' pissed,
|
When you look down to see you're fallin' right through time's abyss,
|
And start to see visions,
|
memories you really miss, simple things,
|
Like your first birthday wish,
|
|
Your first girlfriend,
|
Your first love,
|
Your first French kiss,
|
Your first time feeling hate,
|
The first time you got dissed,
|
Your first day of school,
|
Your very first college class,
|
Your first time touchin' titties,
|
First time you got ass,
|
Your first time learnin' wrong from right,
|
First lonely night,
|
The first time you got your ass whooped in
|
Your first real fight,
|
Your first triple-double dare,
|
Your first pubic hair,
|
Your first time watchin' Jason,
|
Your first nightmare,
|
|
That's when you realize that time was your worst nightmare,
|
And now you're stuck asking yourself 'Why ain't life fair?',
|
You get closer to the bottom,
|
see the end of your line,
|
Your first time ever losin' this battle with time,
|
But right before you meet your death,
|
one more memory left,
|
The only one that's obsolete was your first breath,
|
|
One moon to the next,
|
Clocks switch when you least expect it and make the simplest shit complex,
|
The baby face got the planet fooled,
|
Books get judged by the covers worldwide, coincide with the illest,
|
The real is just fictional dreams,
|
No time to deal with two dimensional fiends, shit hit's the fan with every click of a hand,
|
I'll be a man eventually,
|
When the kid in me is satisfied, but 'til the day arrives all I got is eighty-five.
|
|
A clock can kill motivation,
|
that's why I'm never rockin' a watch,
|
What's a deadline when you're living on your own time?
|
I'm livin' slow, Peter Pan style son,
|
You didn't know I never grow up,
|
my mind is set at six years old,
|
As far as I'm concerned this grown-up shit is for the birds,
|
So pass the skittles,
|
JuJu Fruits, the Now N Laters, and Nerds,
|
I'm eatin' sweets until my teeth fall out and I can't see
|
And I'm deaf in my left ear but my right can hear cause
|
I'm livin' happily. So why you mad at me?
|
Cause your frustrations gave you grey hairs,
|
99% of your life's spent chasin'
|
American nightmares, (GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE)
|
I'm crazy childish, just check the habits,
|
I play with my food, pick my nose, and eat it damn it,
|
Plus I pick my scabs, I be the first to pop a blister,
|
Cause I'm more immature than that cat from Sister-Sister,
|
If my parents tell me no I'm gonna do it anyway,
|
Experience will make more sense than anything that they could ever say,
|
|
Forever playin' video games until I'm sleepy,
|
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, please,
|
you'll never beat me,
|
So basically you're better off paying a bill or somethin',
|
Your mind is elderly, forty over the hill or somethin',
|
I'm young at heart,
|
I'ma forever be a kid I'm on some Tom Hanks shit,
|
you ever seen the movie big?
|
My heart is trapped in '85 the coolest place I've ever been in my life,
|
