Jewfro Jessop - k**ing Time lyrics

(Chorus x2) They keep on telling me to chill 'cause only time will tell Then time's a snitch and I'm inclined to k** off time as well So many blinded by the lies they tell They're losing track of how to act around the shadows of the life they sell (Verse 1) I back my qualms and rap psalms on my blackened palms On Jacob's ladder like a veteran from back in Narm' Acting calm, but you'll abandon your entire plan I rap circles round you like a venn diagram He's spitting fire man, maybe you should stop and listen Top position, you don't even have a pot to piss in The misadventures of my youth have left my mind impaired My towns like Noah's ark, the pigs will only ride in pairs Strolling the metropolis, prepare for the apocalypse 'Cause anyone who goes would be frightened there What if all the thugs were political lobbyists? Trying to change the world so it was right and fair Would we be enlightened? Aware of the heightened despair? Would we care to fight and dare make a difference? Or do we keep on drifting through this existence Following the path that offers us the least resistance Swallowing the pill that staves away all our questions So everyone will fall in line with no exceptions But then we're stalling time, time we can't afford Standing all in line, there's something we can march toward/we won't be ignored To live a life of ignorance will only k** you slowly Time to shed your innocence, relinquish all that's holy It's far better for you to choose to fight and get beaten Than for you to simply lose the right to your freedom 'Cause we're the other half, and when we all converge Walking a troubled path, a couple steps ahead to purge We can't double back so we push harder on the pedal We should settle but we instead we try to barter with the devil That's why I work hella hard making sure the hits bang Hustle while the city sleeps, you can call me Fritz Lang I hope you all know that the grinds not new to me I'll be on this every day 'till they will be reading my eulogy (Chorus x2) They keep on telling me to chill 'cause only time will tell Then time's a snitch and I'm inclined to k** off time as well So many blinded by the lies they tell They're losing track of how to act around the shadows of the life they sell (Verse 2) Are we k**ing time or is time k**ing us? I spend my days learning how to rhyme ill enough I wander round the block I call my stomping ground And find cats out there committing crime - villainous I'm willing us to have the strength to find our way round Problem children but the world is our playground Smoking up, though we're only holding change 'Cause we still ball in the gutter like bowling lanes Nothing's changed, since the days of slavery Besides the format, and the place we go to fight the war at We keep paying our dues but it's like we can't afford that Freedom is a joke, we're going broke and need more, stat I bleed from these pens like I need to be cleansed And dream of a place far away from these ends But looking back, I wouldn't change a f**ing thing Life's too short to be dwelling on what could've been 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 But all they ever do is smoke doobies to get high And try and get diamonds like Lucy in the sky Right until they die as victims of circumstance Living every day in a certain trance, yo They're out living the reckless lives of heathens 'Cause it's the only way they can exorcise their demons So I stay rapping 'cause I fetishize the dream n' Don't wanna live a nightmare, so I ain't gonna fight fair (Chorus x2) They keep on telling me to chill 'cause only time will tell Then time's a snitch and I'm inclined to k** off time as well So many blinded by the lies they tell They're losing track of how to act around the shadows of the life they sell
