Dear Time
[Intro: Alan Watts sample]
Time is money, we say. "I don't have enough time, time flies, time drags."
Time is a very difficult thing to pin down. When he was asked: "What is time?" he said: "I know what it is, but when you ask me, I don't", and yet, it seems absolutely fundamental to our life
[Verse 1: J-Formz]
Yo, why you movin so fast? Like slow up, can we speak?
Sit down and have a chat with me, I'll grab you a seat
I need more of you, in fact, I can't get enough
I'd love to give you a hug, but you're impossible to touch
It's like you don't give a fuck, you're just passin us up
But when things get hard, it's like you seem to get stuck
And man, I can't figurе out if you're a gift, or a curse
They say you hеal all wounds, I say you're makin them worse
Shit, let me ask you why:
The more of you that goes by, the more I seem to cry because my loved ones die?
On a long enough line, you'll take everybody's lives
But makin sure in the process to never let us rewind
You got me losin my mind, you're consumin my thoughts
A fight I already lost no matter how hard I fought
Through the course of you, there's one thing we all learn
You are the motha fuckin fire in which all things burn
Hey, dear time...
[Verse 2: J-Formz]
You never want me to travel, I always gotta be present
You never let me move forward, although, I always keep steppin
I never take you for granted, yet, it doesn't seem to matter
You just keep on goin the same speed and same pattern
And when I think that I'm passin you
You catch up to me and put me in my place just for passin through
This is a race I can't win, and yet, I keep on runnin
I wanna hit the pause button, you just keep on comin
I heard they say that you fly, when will you run out of gas?
Then look at me like I'm crazy any time that I ask
Somebody give me a pass, or let me purchase some more
You're what everybody wants, but they don't sell you in the store
It's a trip really knowin what your thoughts cost
Cause every sentence I speak is another second I lost
And everyday, I gotta give you away
Hey, I guess I'm at a loss for words, shit, I wish I knew what to say
Hey, dear time...
