Anemic - Time lyrics

[Intro] Starin' in the eyes of the man with the hourgla** Wishing he'd just make this day go by a bit faster I've got a goal to go for, a dream I want to succeed in Reaching, but it can't be done today, so all I can do is plead Evaluating time and why it even exists Seeing how making choices have risks and how they can't be fixed Every day, I'm sure you get a million wishes But they can't be taken back, you're waiting, sitting back defenseless [Verse 1] I remember the time Atar-E was rhyming about time I felt confined to the idea like it was tied away but not tonight It makes me think about how certain things are almost out of sight Time given just to think about the wrong and right I know it's difficult to take a look into your future It's common sense that it hurts to stare at something so bright I just felt helpless, dancing with Satan constantly in a never ending fight Wondering when it would end, but he let the dance end tonight It's sort of frightening to lose the power to make music You like, it's like being flashed with a thousand dollar check and someone saying "psyche" I don't like it, something you fight for just flashed in your face Then in a second, it's just taken away like that cash was fake When the devil tells you wait, do you just take it or fight back? Submit to the lies he's telling, take what he's selling or ignore his crap The man who made you black in a country of profile In the US, people expect you to be committing crimes where you'll just slide right through a trial [Chorus] Spending my time rhyming Doing nothing but thinking about time Wondering when everything will be all right Thinking about what life would be like if it was fine Doing nothing but spending my time rhyming Waiting for my chance is like waiting 'til the planets align The time is now, how it's used is how I define it Sometimes I spend it designing, sometimes I spend it crying [Verse 2] My opportunity strikes soon, right when the clock strikes noon I'm the only one who makes a point in time oppurtune My goals can be reached in one second, don't mean to be contradicting Don't convict me for saying something a little bit mis-depicting So many different concepts of the clock are just addicting It feels like I make a victory every time I make a decision Like I'm winning, clutching it in the final inning And thinking in your mind, "It's only the beginning" I'm imprinting my mark on this planet, hoping that it lasts forever I don't even think to send a message that I need to be clever All I need is to be a lyrical mastermind Someone who can rhyme and send positive messages at the same time Just now... never again will I let my mortality constantly just trap me from rapping into a planet of happiness I lead my own path and I shape this world perceiving the deceiving and evil as simply disbelieving I ain't up to no mischief, don't be oblivious to my material My lyrics are real, my syllables are life's syllabus My rap is wisdom that redefines distance Time's just an illusion, keep moving forward and you'll reach your destination [Chorus]
