The Xtraordinair$ - The Watchmaker Theory lyrics

[Verse 1] Where did the time go? Back in the days I didn't want to admit I was like the other white folks I'd be in the burbs and see a cop car drive slow and I'd yell out "Duck, motherf**ers, there go 5-0!" Whoo! Dressing like a thug in the mall and sh** Me and Emily just called it quits She was a young fire crotch alcoholic chick If I remember correctly I think her dad was into politics After school we'd go to Popeye's chicken I would get a 3 piece combo with some red beans and rice on the side and an extra side of mac and cheese One extra biscuit and 2 honey packets please Where did the time go? When I was 6 years old my uncle Darryl had a nice boat Every independence day took us to the lake or the Ozarks so we could watch the fireworks and light show Around this time my parents decided that they wanted to go and terminate their marriage We lived in Raytown, Missouri in a yellow house with the tire-swing up in the front yard down on 67 terrace My mom planted radishes and carrots, cabbages and hairless Marijuana plants until my next door neighbor went and ratted to the sheriff My whole entire family had to hide up in the [?] and embarrased My mother was a really pretty lady, my father was a salesman in a used '83 'cedes They'd argue a lot, she'd scream, he'd call her crazy He'd disappear and not come back till day three They seemed so old then, but they were in their thirties My wife and i feel old, but we in our thirties [Interlude] Listen, life ain't fair and it's weird Everyday I pluck a gray hair from my beard All the kids that used to be popular in school got fat OD'd or they straight disappeared Oh sh**! where did the time go? Back in the day I used to talk to my parents with an eye roll Got a bl**job from Angeline with my eyes closed Felt guilty went home and tried to read the Bible Fell asleep 3 pages in woke up felt time slow like God is angry at me now he gonna end my life no Where did the time go? My best friend just got divorced where'd his wife go? Out to dinner with another guy bro I knew for sure he'd shoot her with a rifle Until i found out as it turns out that he has ED And making love to his wife just hasn't been easy He tried to make excuses trying to say that he was sleepy And she just wanted a love life in 3D and i can't blame her for it And i can't paint the portrait, that shes vain and morbid - cause shes not This is why we need to f**ing legalize ... 'Cause every single grown adult that I've met Gets a broken heart every time when they wonder where the time went All you do is get gray hair then you die slow Lay in your casket and wonder where the time go Uh, you felt so young then, then you're in your thirties Right now you're seventeen, blink a couple times and you're gonna be seventy Where did the time go? I don't know b**h Hurry up and die slow Hurry up and buy, ho Everything is everything and everything is on sale Except a perfect plan that is guaranteed to not fail You want a guarantee? see, you go to college four years Read some books but drank more beer Somebody lied to you when they told you that all you gotta do is go to college and the day after you graduate you'll make $150,000 Go to happy hour get a nice Martini with an olive and And a brand new Porsche with the candy paint polish You want a mansion with a pool? you can have all this! All you gotta do is go to cla** a couple times You don't gotta worry about the time You don't gotta worry about the $89,999 that you're gonna be in debt Pay your student loan down let us see you sweat You want a job? well this company don't need you yet Start at the bottom and you'll stay, at the f**ing bottom till your heart is in decay You at the f**ing bottom till your hair is turning gray So you try to numb the pain, getting married turn away Maybe you will get it if i whisper this: You gotta start your own business Start your own business Start your own business Follow your dreams you little b**hes [Outro] Hi, can you come here Eric? I know you've worked for this company for 37 years And you treat it like a career Unfortunately, the way corporations work is We don't give a f** about you and have no emotional connection to anything other than our profit So, you're fired!
