Clocks (feat. Hybrid Muu)

I just want to live
Before I die
I don't want to slip and fall
Before the clock falls off the wall
I just want to live
Before I die
I don't want to slip and fall
Before the clock falls off the wall

Forget the boring life I'd rather chill and have fun
Cause there's no turning back once the stopwatch is done
And the clock stops ticking
You got caught slippin
Now you in the casket and the world becomes different
See I seen it too many times refuse to be a victim
The fear of success is something that always gets them
Don't be afraid of power stay in control
Know who you are because a leader should be bold
And this tale is of the old use your time wisely
Don't let the distractions of this nation even blind thee
Time is an illusion but your lifespan is not
Two hours from now it can be your time and you drop
Make sure you cop the knowledge and the wisdom your spirit desires
Doing drugs to get higher living life wired
It's not healthy at all do something productive
We are of the essence get up and do something

I just want to live
Before I die
I don't want to slip and fall
Before the clock falls off the wall
I just want to live
Before I die
I don't want to slip and fall
Before the clock falls off the wall

Time can only tell what the future holds
Time can only tell what the future holds
Time oh time
Time oh time

Yo a peasant past to an unpleasant present
Coming in last since my adolescence
Added lessons from bouts with depression would soon follow
No hope for tomorrow
In the belly of the beast not knowing I was swallowed
Heart hollow ain't no time for giving when I'm tired of living
People question the facts but won't question their opinions
Minions despicable me it's typical to see
The temperature rise as deep mobs increase degrees
Need more perspiration stick to my purpose pursue with patience
Persevere as the end gets near making friends with fear
Clear defibrillation of dreams no hesitation it seems
By any means we're increasing our income streams
But money ain't the motivator the data proves it
Recruited to fight for freedom not knowing that I would lose it
Dreaming lucid loose lips
Hope I don't say the wrong shit
It may sink the wrong ship
El capitán on the same movement Kap be on kneeling for injustice
Subjected to mass destruction
Mass consumption a byproduct of mass production from companies
Funding crooked politicians
Behind mass corruption don't pass assumptions
Only assist with those who insist time is of the essence
Esoteric rhetoric never generic
Whether Black White or Arabic our existential is so essential
Don't wanna be the sight of wasted potential
So I stay kinetic empathetic to those who ain't get it
Had a date with destiny but never met it just call the medic
Cause tho you're still breathing doesn't mean you're still believing
Soon you'll be leaving your family grieving what you achieving
Let em see the legacy you left successfully
The seven seas traveled just to set em free
Every second sacrificed suffice it to say you've done it all
So continue to ball til your clock falls off the wall

Time can only tell what the future holds
Time can only tell what the future holds
