lyrics

father time was a melting pot
put together by a texting plot
find his face on any clock
listen people, can you hear a ticking-tock?

10:10 is the handsomest pose for a clock
the walker wants to stop and listen to it talk
tickin truth, relentless, time flies
on a digi clock 11:11 is kinda nice
cause we're all one, the clock agress
mista masta grand daddy tick-tockin his degress
used to rock a wrist watch, now i tote a phone
along the way, seems i lost time for my own
matter's where we came from, info's where we go
starin at a square, watchin fountains flow?

father time was a melting pot
put together by a texting plot
find his face on any clock
listen people, can you hear a ticking-tock?

vote with my ducats for the culture protection
you live a living life, and i gotta respect
cause every block buster will be broke in due time
and back comes the story teller with a rhyme
rosetta stone rockin' on the tip of unity
i coined the phrase "of many one"
they quote me on money!
but i don't buy it, we try to make our own conclusions
they build a tower for powerful confusion
sell us a tower for powerful confusion?

such a handsome clock, tick-tocking
pendulum swinging, grand daddy

father time was a melting pot
put together by a texting plot
find his face on any clock
listen people, can you hear a ticking-tock?

today, i teach a talk about the power of NO
pick a couple places where you don't wanna go
you can be anything that you want, friends
but you can't be everything you want, friends
i mean to say you gotta stick to your guns
may the force be with i wish you all the rays of the sun
when the hurly burly's done, the battle's lost and won
the king and pawn go back into the bag where it begun
puzzle that: you can't take it with you when you die
pick a path and after that you try, try, try
i'ma sip from the source, follow bliss and hone my chris-ness
apart from these i'm on my knees burnin wishlists
took a page from jimi's book, burnin his guitar
gave a nod to darth vader on the death star
so can you feel me?
hey did you catch my drift?
rapid runnin swift, let the river rip my lips
