9) Time

Chorus
I stand humble before time, unspeakable like mine
inexpressible by rhyme, dangerous like a land mine
unaffected by mankind's need for control
as it rolls steady taking it tolls

VS 1
If impatience is a virtue, then i was a virtuoso
leaving red lights on your mark, not waiting for get set go
I had to run like Moses from the Pharoah, can't
wait for my bread to rise, live my life thru Matzah eyes

was the type to eat grapes off the vine, you can
have your fermentation and your fine age wines
I cut my cast off, before the bone is healed
put a drive thru on my kitchen just to expedite my meals

i came to see Time as a foe, not a friend, so I
waisted it's ass, in no shape to contend the uncontrollable
like the rotation of the earth the
journey that ends with death, begins with birth

a mistaken conception, I had to skip class to learn
my lesson, a curse is a blessin
so no more guessin, each day is a door of
opportunity and only I and I can ruin thee

I show respect and

Chorus

human beings be power trippin, perpetually
indefinitely, overcoming the powers that be
like gravity, whether flying thru the air or floating in the sea,
we coming with answers to natures inquiry

but check it see, time be the great stumbling block
unweathered, unfazed, triple hands of the clock
the more we fight, the more it makes us pay
sittin on the interstate, rush hour friday

I could be gone tomorrow, I fill songs with sorrow
so my fam will have something to remember me by,
and as long as, the clock is regulating this broadcast
I am who I am, no fronting render these lines

while the best is, rocking fresh on a fretless
play my role cause this is what I was meant to find
the test is, written, spitten poison asbestos
unless its old, ain't no fold when mentioning time

Chorus
