The Hourglass |
12:00 on the dot |
Woke up and stretched |
Filled with provocative thoughts |
They say every day you wake up’s a good thing |
Caught my breath exhaled, inhaled, that’s a positive start |
1:00 reminiscin' on how time flies |
Still a bachelor that’s looking for that prime time wife |
Need a cheering section that’ll make them pom-pom's fly |
Cause this kitchen’s looking lonely as a wonton’s fry |
2:00 realized the mistakes were mine |
Ask God for a plane then I look to the sky |
Then he sent me a boat while I’m askin' him why |
The plane hasn’t come yet the boat’s passin' me by |
3:00 took it all in and looked at my life |
My homie said he’d trade his for a second wit' mine |
All the travelin' and accolades, stages in life |
But the grass is always greener when you on the other side of the hourglass |
Now it’s 4:00pm call my other homie up to see what’s good wit' him |
Still doing the same shit he did from way back when |
Never do we speak of change, I don’t want to offend |
5:00 suddenly I saw myself in him |
Guess I’m talking to myself when I judge and condemn |
When I see my people do good I’m nudging them in |
The right direction |
Although on the low I’m guzzlin' gin |
Got a call from my doctor at about 6:10 |
Told me health is not an option anymore |
Just then |
Realized I’m getting older |
Life is not forever soldier |
At some point you gotta grow up 'fore it all just end |
7 is my lucky number I was born on ten |
77 d I’m healthier and makin' amends |
Every lesson ever taught to me I’m takin' it in |
Every moment is a miracle created within |
The hourglass |
Now it’s half past 8 |
People don’t got a lot of hope these last past days |
Can there be a revolution when no carnage awaits |
Can we lock into the spirit can we harness the grace |
9:00 sun is gone only stars and space |
Don’t know where the time went but with a pen and pad |
And beat I’ll follow time and space |
Cause nothing is forever |
Only thing that’s constant: change |
You’ll never relive yesterday you can’t rewind this tape |
It’s 10 on the dot |
Did you utilize the day today and give all you got? |
Did you live a little bit or are you living a lot? |
It’s 11:00 |
The sand is driftin' about the hourglass |
