Time (Tick Tock)

You know, I'm just sitting here
Tuning in to the sounds
I'm listening to the birds
The trees
The wind
The leaves
But as I listen
I can't help but think about how much time is passing by

Sittin' around
Tryna figure out
What I should do with this time (time)
Cause if I do nothing
It feels like I'm clowning around and losing my mind (mind)
I'm (I'm)
Just tryna be fine (fine)
Live a life full of purpose and fulfillment, that's mine (mine)
But every moment I get I give to others
Just thinking I'm tryna be kind (kind)
And when I'm exhausted, they ask me what's wrong
I tell em that I'll be just fine (fine)
I'm lying (lying)
Cause I just wish I had some space to myself
But even when I do it feels like a crime (crime)
Cause I don't know how to relax
Always looking to attack and be on a grind (grind)
Fearing that I may never reach my prime (prime)
Can't see what I'm racing I'm blind (blind)

Tick tick, tock tock
Tick tick, tock tock
The clock, don't stop
No the clock won't stop
It go
Tick tick, tock tock
Tick tick, tock tock
The clock, don't stop
No the clock won't stop
It go
Tick tick, tock tock
Tick tick, tock tock
The clock, don't stop
No the clock won't stop
It go
Tick tick, tock tock
Tick tick, tock tock
The clock, don't stop
No the clock won't stop
It go

Trying so hard
To stay up to par
Can't waste a minute, gotta use em all
Feel like if I don't get to it today
I doubt I'll have a chance to get it tomorrow
Hope to create some results they'd applaud
But I ain't even looking for an award
Too busy tryna guess where they set the bar
And I don't even really know who they are
It's like riding shotgun with no one in the car
How can I ever expect to get far?
All the moves I make and I hit a wall
Still got them problems that I need to solve
Try to invest in myself and evolve
Try to keep faith and just call on the Lord
They say I've got all the time in the world
But it feels like that's false

Tick tick, tock tock
Tick tick, tock tock
The clock, don't stop
No the clock won't stop
It go
Tick tick, tock tock
Tick tick, tock tock
The clock, don't stop
No the clock won't stop
It go
Tick tick, tock tock
Tick tick, tock tock
The clock, don't stop
No the clock won't stop
It go
Tick tick, tock tock
Tick tick, tock tock
The clock, don't stop
No the clock won't stop
It go

No matter how much
It's never enough
I feel like I always struggle to keep up
Look at the hands, and watch em beat up
My heart, my mind, my soul
Even though it's a metaphor, truth be told
The hands of time can be the deadliest foe
Put you in a corner and give you some lumps
Most of the time it just feels like a funk
Other times make you wish you had some luck
Whether you ready or not, it don't give a fuck
My only suggestion is never give up
Just go toe to toe
Cause you never know
Practice makes perfect plus
Ain't no such thing as time once you get into a flow
And you can through failure right out the window
Cause time is of the essence to grow (grow)

Tick tick, tock tock
Tick tick, tock tock
The clock, don't stop
No the clock won't stop
It go
Tick tick, tock tock
Tick tick, tock tock
The clock, don't stop
No the clock won't stop
It go
Tick tick, tock tock
Tick tick, tock tock
The clock, don't stop
No the clock won't stop
It go
Tick tick, tock tock
Tick tick, tock tock
