Hourglass

Like minutes
Years pass by and we still don’t get it
Try to ignore
Man, you know how them cowards are
Yo
(Sand in the hourglass)
Yo
Look at them trying to ignore
Like as if the skill don’t exist
Look at you, man
You’re so
Get respect where it’s due
Grab my hat
Tip the bill
Stressed out like life
Was just bitches and bills
Real shit
Never act like it’s just a drill
Some ain’t seen life straight
Can’t resist the pills
That’s the deal
When you’re chasing that
Mass appeal
Fears
Might not
Always get you
But you have its will
Going mad trying to protect your needs
Veins popping out your neck like a steroid freak
And you know that your daemons are there poised
Deep
Hidden away
Waiting to take you a part
Man, their ploy’s
Deeper than a baby in a shallow grave
Mother with dirt and blood on her hands
Tapping veins
Can’t deny things are that nature
Because they happen day after day
Ignoring that won’t make it fade
Spitting gas by a naked flame
Put 'em out in a head dress
I dance and make it rain
Make it storm
Matter fact
Make it monsoon
Like gorilla
While you’re spitting
I’ll be hissing like a bomb fuse (Hiss)
Look, man, I’m in the wrong mood
Never could just nod, say 'Yeah' and look amused
Think you’re dropping knowledge because you read a book or two
But been distracted from shit you should be looking to
And contenders I put 'em through Hell
When I cast you away like the judge threw the book at you
Like the judge threw the book at you
And you were sent away for some years
Days pass by in what feels like minutes
Years pass by and we still don’t get it
Or try to ignore
Man, you know how them cowards are
Slipping
And we’re all sand in the hourglass
Days pass by in what feels like minutes
Years pass by and we still don’t get it
Or try to ignore
Man, you know how them cowards are
Slipping
And we’re all sand in the hourglass
Ayo
Once so many hours pass
Sands falling in the hourglass
Living out a shallow past
I never realised
Quite how short an hour lasts
Till I treated death like
''Ave a laugh!'
And now
That’s weight off my shoulders
Like an avalanche
So you gotta do you best when you have the chance
Because next minute you missed your chance
And I just gotta see your face to really see
Just how pissed you are
We in the playground
Playing with death
Greeting each step
With fear, hate, waste and regret
Shit
I’m watching years to by
To 23 from 5 in the blink of an eye
Woah!
Wow!
Were we living a lie?
Nah, I still remember the feeling
I feel it inside
Because me and Verbs laughing
Like my nan’s alive
Playing
Making castles in the sands of time
Where seconds turn to minutes
Minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to days
Days turn to months
Months turn to years
Till it’s your retirement day
Cheers!
And you realised you ain’t smiled in 8 years
Woah!
9 to 5 got you dead alive
Living dead, dead living
Corporate paradise
Woah!
It’s got me sitting here thinking about my past
How we’re all sand in the hourglass
Days pass by in what feels like minutes
Years pass by and we still don’t get it
Or try to ignore
Man, you know how them cowards are
Slipping
And we’re all sand in the hourglass
Days pass by in what feels like minutes
Years pass by and we still don’t get it
Or try to ignore
Man, you know how them cowards are
Slipping
And we’re all sand in the hourglass
