Now we're running out of time Got nobody by your side Looking for a better life All the things you sacrificed Now we're running out of time Got nobody by your side Searching for that paradise Don't wanna get left behind Looking at the hourglass watching as the sand falls Time's running out and they just announced last call Suspended in water soaking in the bath salts Mind's in a trance, fantasizing of that cash vault But I gotta stand tall, no problem I can't solve Eyes on the prize, cuz my life's been throwing fastballs Knowing that I am flawed, fingers on my hands crossed Crawling cuz I can't walk all across the asphalt Feels like I'm racing time The finish line, I'll make it mine Laying rhymes, rain or shine Out here trying to make a dime Looking for some recognition I can feel the seconds ticking Thank my lucky stars at night That I am alive and blessed with wisdom Every day I'm on this planet Never taking them for granted Some do, I don't understand it Some are stranded Some are handed cards they can't handle and can't manage They're fragile and they panic Some are damaged like the Titanic Out in the North Atlantic, sinking Now we're running out of time Got nobody by your side Looking for a better life All the things you sacrificed Now we're running out of time Got nobody by your side Searching for that paradise Don't wanna get left behind I lay down and I close my eyes And I know that I'm a still photo on the rise When I'm immobilized Try to keep them opened wide Lookin like I'm so surprised Self portrait mortified Setting fire to the skies Exploding like a mortar or a mine On a mission to find the point of life Like a porcupine, so divine No way I'm giving up, there's more to climb Even though my back is hurting Got a sore and bad contorted spine Running from the horror of a poltergeist Breaking through this polar ice Now I'm hoping that my boat arrives Cashing in my failures all the short comings and poor advice Making my mark in this world Like I'm stamped and notarized So much order when composing rhymes, yea I'm so precise Wish I wasn't borderline OCD and organized Fighting through these stormy nights Slicing like a sword or knife Swear I must've been a Samurai in my former life Now we're running out of time Got nobody by your side Looking for a better life All the things you sacrificed Now we're running out of time Got nobody by your side Searching for that paradise Don't wanna get left behind When you go through your entire life And people doubt you And everything you stand for Don't ever listen to that bullshit Only you know the real you And what you're capable of You control your own destiny Shit, I've been on my own since I was 16 Lived on people's porches Friend's houses Even lived in a fucking group home But you gotta do what you gotta do Pick yourself up and make the best of a shitty situation Somehow I still found a way to graduate Joined the military Which really straightened my ass out, ya know You only got one life, don't let time pass you by Go find your paradise But shit... who am I to give advice Bring the beat back Now we're running out of time Got nobody by your side Looking for a better life All the things you sacrificed Now we're running out of time Got nobody by your side Searching for that paradise Don't wanna get left behind
