[Chorus - Candice Monique]
Can't you see?
Time isn't of the essence
You can't measure love or lessons
With hours, minutes, days or seconds
No
Life cannot be told by time
What's infinite will never die
And life goes on while we're not keeping time
So it's time for time to die
[Verse 1 - Luka Lesson]
Minute that I feel this beat
Minute that I feel the need
Minute that I need to hustle
Minute that I need to speak
Minute that I let this start
Minute that I feel my heart
Minute that that you're feeling me
Is the minute that we get to spark
Minute that your feeling Lesson
Minute that I'm feel in blessed
Minute that we get connected
Is the minute that we get respect
60 minutes - tick
They consistently k** us - tick
The minutes diminish they pillage the villager's will and their pillars of hope - tick
I never got into that rope - tick
I never got into that boat - tick
I mentally ever got better and never let enemies get in my road - tick
A lie
The truth is I just died a million times
But in my mind I let the devil stay disguised in god's design
Tick, tick, tick
Emotional moments
Alone with my only a opponent
Just the ghost of me
I'm close to imploding
Supposed to be focused
So I spray my own cologne for atonement
And hope it exposes
The road that I've chosen - Moses
Because the truth is I'll survive
When my gods and my devils shake hands and toast to life
When my angels and my demons love each other through my eyes
And we never bow down to the father they've called time
[Chorus - Candice Monique]
[Verse 2 - Luka Lesson]
Hours that I spent alone
Wishing for my time to go
Hours I spent on the road
Hoping on a sign for home
Hours I spent trapped in thought
Who I could be
Who I was
What's my mission?
What's my cause?
Power taken - hours lost
Hours I spent on my mission
Wishin' on my time to glisten
Hours I spent in conscription
Fighting for the right inscriptions
Sixty minutes -tick
But time is infinite - tick
The ticks don't even mean sh**
It's kind of ridiculous
The way that we fit to this
Dissidents bliss in the release from this prison
They say that we're k**ing time
But time is k**ing us
And she never be leaving no witlessness
We grow old
But the older the better
The colder the weather the better we learn to whether the storm
And hold it together
Never being hand-cuffed by a clock on my wrist
And I will never be addicted to watching the watches and clicks
They say time is of the essence
But that essence is us
Sunrise, sunset
That's all we need - that's enough
We time our whole lives to a paradigm we don't trust
We don't realise that that paradigm was designed by us
And the word 'clock' comes from the french word for bell
When will the bell toll for time?
I guess only time can tell
[Chorus - Candice Monique]
[Verse 3 - Luka Lesson]
Now that I've changed my life
Now I've made it right
Now I can play the dice
Now - just in case I die
Now, not the the past or future
Now I see past illusion
Now I don't cast a**umptions
Now I only see solutions
Now I'm a present man
The only gift I understand
Is the present of the present
Only now is the time at hand
No more minutes tick
No more hours called a day
No more years
Taking months
Taking weeks
Taking my faith
Let's go back to the basics
The earth revolves with the moon
The sun joins the two
Gravity makes it smooth
Oceans rise and fall
Babies learn to crawl
Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
Seasons change - so do we all
And the poets record it all
People die and are kings
Messiahs to fiends
In the silence I dream
That if Christ knew his life
Would mean we'd count every second
And his d**h marked the start
He'd discount it in a second
Every culture in the world has its sense of time
The West erected Big Ben like its sense was mine
Time for the rest to connect and question why
The truth's in the moment
The rest
Is memories
And lies
[Chorus - Candice Monique]
