Time Is The Enemy

[Bridge: Jimmy Nice] My mumma 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? [Verse 1: Jimmy Nice] And it goes: "Make money, money Take money, money, money" When I make believe you can't take nothing from me Heavy traffic one lane no one to vote for Pollies in the podium be feeding the folklore Man overboard kissed the ocean floor For trying to nagivate the thoughts of a man too deep Dishonesty overall we down by law, if you're not Cut you off like the hand of a thief I see a business man in a suit and tie Anybody selling second chances round here? Diamonds on his finger like Lucy in The Sky Told me "nothing is forever, boy, lend my your ear Let me make this clear, before I get out of your hair Time is the enemy, he don't play fair, I swear Time is the enemy, he don't play fair" [Hook: Jimmy Nice] Ay ay ay-ay-ay, ay ay ay-ay-ay You gotta know how to play Ay ay ay-ay-ay, ay ay ay-ay-ay You gotta know how to play Ay ay ay-ay-ay, ay ay ay-ay-ay You gotta know how to play Time is the enemy he don't play fair (and everybody is) Running round town spending time like it's counterfeit) (and everybody is) (Running round town spending time like it's counterfeit) [Verse 2: Nick Lupi] Come follow me now, let me take you higher We 'gon take you inside again The brain wired, watching another day go by Trying to make deadlines or wait to be inspired See lately, I been going through it Body been tired, but my mind ain't close to it Nah, you see I used to blow smoke to it But that just makes it worse, nah that won't do it It's like that shit don't soothe me no more Maybe this life don't move me no more Mates say they can't get through to me anymore Look, I ain't the same old Lupi 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 [Hook: Jimmy Nice] Ay ay ay-ay-ay, ay ay ay-ay-ay You gotta know how to play Ay ay ay-ay-ay, ay ay ay-ay-ay You gotta know how to play Ay ay ay-ay-ay, ay ay ay-ay-ay You gotta know how to play Time is the enemy he don't play fair [Bridge: Jimmy Nice] My mumma 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?
