Hour Glass - Snak the Ripper

Why does time pass?

It is a question so profound

That few people would even think to ask it

Yet its effects are all around

Human beings live in a perpetual present

Inexorably sealed off from the past

But moving relentlessly into the future

We just grains of sand in an hourglass

Turned upside down, allowed to pass

Down to the bottom and surrounded fast

'till the shit tip over hit the ground and smash

I never felt like surviving last

Go through hell just to rise from ash

Life go two ways you can cry and laugh

Keep her ya’ll live slow or ya' dying fast

Tick tick tick get lit lit lit

Sign of the beast is 666

Talk that shit that bitch get hit

All up in that ass like quick, quick, quick

Young gonna bring ya' the apocalypse

If ya’ll thinking ya’ll dope I’m not convinced

And I’m an optimist, triple OG’s we top the list, you’ll come across a fist

Nigga be delivering the massive attack

This rack of attacks hit em' after the fact

Just impassion the whack, quit the yackidy yack

Its boom boom boom and I’m fad for the strap

The clocks concerned I’m a working man

Nothing ya’ll do concerned a man

My shit bang from here to Kurdistan

Got a real bad bitch with a burka tan

Physical attraction, do a little latching

Everywhere I go they be talking with an accent

Go against my, girl you better be relaxing

I’m putting my foot down and gaining better traction

Ya’ll don’t really want a part of that

Cause ain’t nobody you know hit hard as that

Took a bit of time off but I brought her back

I make your axis stop like a heart attack

— like ya never left

Time never stop, what more can I say?

Counting the digits no pause or delay

I’m punching the clock, just ticking away

Seconds to minutes, minutes to days

Time never stop, what more can I say?

Counting the digits, no pause or delay

I’m punching the clock, just ticking away

Seconds to minutes, minutes to days

The clock don’t stop, time keep ticking

I’m on the block, you can find me tripping

Think about the birds that I’ve been flipping

I don’t think about much cause' my mind keep slipping

Itty bitty grains of sand in the glass

Disappearing fast we abandon the past

Mask on my face and abandon the cash

Cause everything I’m hearing is amateur trash

Bitches uncut every line is clean

Forget about the bullshit behind the scene

Every track that we drop like a time machine

Like a butterfly effect in a Siamese dream

Waking up drunk in a different time zone

A diamond in the rough, fuck your rhyme stone

And I’m back right now but we’re leaving your mind blown

Putting holes in your brain like an iPhone

This longevity never get ahead of me

Better be mine or watch your identity

Energy high stay lost in the melody

Steadily tryna flunk out every enemy

Ask me why, never gonna live my life

Pass me by, understand it better

When they actually try, but they don’t wanna hear me

Like a nasty lie, we can catch me high

Probably only bought up like an ounce of weed

But I bounce a beat while they sound a sleep

Ain’t sleeping on us but they counting sheep

Now thinking neighbours coming from down the street

When the shit get big gotta pipe the connection

Full speed ahead we don’t wait for direction

If you talk shit better pray for protection

Hundred every day we ain’t wasting a second

Time never stop, what more can I say?

Counting the digits no pause or delay

I’m punching the clock, just ticking away

Seconds to minutes, minutes to days

Time never stop, what more can I say?

Counting the digits, no pause or delay

I’m punching the clock, just ticking away

Seconds to minutes, minutes to days
