My mama told me
never believe everything I see
be all you can be
television show me
How to control everything I do
And neither do you
Said there's only now
only now
only now
But will it hold me down
hold me down
hold me down
down
And it goes
Make money money take money money money
When I make believe you can't take nothing from me
Every traffic one lane, no one to vote for
Bullies on the podium defeating the folklore
Man overboard, kiss the ocean floor
Trying to navigate the thoughts of a man too deep
Dishonesty over all,
We down by the law if you nothing
Cut you off like the hand of a thief
I seen a buisness man in a suit and tie
Anybody selling second chance round here
Diamond on his finger like lucy in the sky
Told me nothing is forever, boy lend me your ear
And let me make this clear
Before I get outta your hair
Time is the enemy he don't play fair
Sway, time is the enemy he don't play fair
Ayy ayy ya ayy yaa, Uh
Ayy ayy ya ayy yaa, Come on
You gotta know how to play
Ayy ayy ya ayy yaa, Uh
Ayy ayy ya ayy yaa, Come on
You gotta know how to play
Ayy ayy ya ayy yaa
Ayy ayy ya ayy yaa
Time is the enemy he don't play fair
And every body is
Runnin' round town spending time like it's counterfit
Ya
Uh and everybody body is
Runnin' round town spending time like it's counterfit
Ya Uh
Come follow me now, let me take you higher
We gon take you inside the game, the brain wired
Watching another day go by
Trying to make dead lines, or wait to be inspired
Uh, See lately I've been going through a body feel tight
but my mind ain't close to it
Nah
See I used to blow smoke to it
But that just makes it worse, now that wont do it
It's like that shit don't sooth me no more
Maybe this life don't move me no more
They say they can't get through to me anymore
Look, I ain't the same old newbie from before
I was taught time is the enemy
I wonder when I'm gone if anyone will remember me
What I neglect to see
We all fade eventually
Homie best believe
Ayy ayy ya ayy yaa, Uh
Ayy ayy ya ayy yaa, Come on
You gotta know how to play
Ayy ayy ya ayy yaa, Uh
Ayy ayy ya ayy yaa, Come on
You gotta know how to play
Ayy ayy ya ayy yaa, Uh
Ayy ayy ya ayy yaa, Come on
You gotta know how to play
Ayy ayy ya ayy yaa
Time is the enemy he don't play fair
My mama told me
never believe everything I see
be all you can be
television show me
How to control everything I do
And neither do you
Said there's only now
only now
only now
But will it hold me down
hold me down
hold me down
down
