Intro
It’s about time…what is time….I was once told that time is an illusion…if this is true….then why is everybody in such a hurry…….to get no where…..
InkLine
Yeah-right now right here right no where
Right whenever you want I don’t care
What you wanna or don’t wanna hold on to
Running from the past like memories haunt you
We all know as a matter of fact that
Time flies we established that at
No time flat no turning back
Unless a miracle happens so where the magic at?-uh
Wish I had tricks up my sleeve
But by the time I get settled it’s time to leave
Consumed by time, no time to free
No time to burn, no time to breathe
I see, (I see) it’s all an illusion
it’s not how much but it’s how I use it
It’s useless to keep watching the clock
‘cause it don’t stop baby it just hurries up
Chorus
(Three part round)
InkLine

“The dark mystery of time and space”
Xencs
We take a step in fear of rejection
Then question our own intentions
The lessons come within time
Hit rewind
Do what you feel or wait for a sign
But, time keeps on passing us by
They keep on asking me-Why?
Still with faith waiting for a sign
Release the past in the back of your mind
Time
Keeps playing tricks on me
I believe you have a thousand tricks up ya’ sleeve
Releasing trails of dreams and blaming time for
What’s what, now you find you’re stuck in a rut?
Saying I wish I had better luck
While, what’s left is what’s next
Keep on moving till there’s no more requests
‘Cause it goes on even after your last breath
Chorus
Bridge
Mane Rok
Look to the wrist watch see if it tick tocks
Criss cross the hands to signal a pit stop
If not all of these moments well they’ll get lost
List cost according to the sticker the ticker it flops
Flips around, like a fish out of water
Hits the ground, makes you wonder why we bother
Punching the clock so we can wait for a time out
Need T.O.’s pay for O.T. that’s what we whine ‘bout?
Time and time again my time is running short
Time equals money it makes sense of course
That I’m left feeling cuckoo not knowing what to do
(Time’s) Fly as a bird in pair of some new shoes
With the clock running out wounds are starting to heal
Calloused by the ages makes it harder to feel
Part of the deal is not to call it out
‘cause only time will tell what it’s all about
Chorus
Bridge 2-Cuts
“Its about that time”
I keep on I’m running
Time keeps on it’s running
I keep on, it keeps on, we keep on,
Time keeps on keeps on running (x2)
