Hour Glass

Sha la la leng
Sha la la leng
Cyah hold wi tongue
'Cause wi no longer young
Sha la la leng
Sha la la leng
Cyah shut wi mouth
'Cause time a run out
Sha la la leng
Sha la la leng
Cyah hold wi tongue
'Cause wi no longer young
Sha la la leng
Sha la la leng
Cyah shut wi mouth
'Cause time a run out

Won't you hold my hand today
In this world there's so many worries
Lemme get lost in your gaze
No more living my life in a hurry
And in time we all will rise
And love will find a way to last
Have mercy
Uh
'Cause no ones putting sand in the top of our hour glass

It just dawned on me that my dawn is over
Living in the dusk of my life what is there to fuss over
The daughter slaughtered in the school where the mother drove her
A mass murderer open fired there can't be closure
This will never be kosher I feel helpless as a voter
I've been yelling gun control but I am not the controller
I can relate to smokers how can anyone be sober
Yet I'm sober I'm having problems keeping my composure
And I'm feeling things so intensely
I'm taking showers but they don't rinse me nah
They say I'm sensitive that incenses me
On my path I am an empath
With emotional sympathies
Feeling such energies it's stealing my inner peace
Trying to find some release
Pick up the phone baby please
Our time is all that we get
My hourglass has been flipped
Sand is just flowing through it

Won't you hold my hand today, yeah
In this world there's so many worries
Lemme get lost in your gaze
No more living my life in a hurry
And in time we all will rise
And love will find a way to last
Uh-uh
'Cause no ones putting sand in the top of our hour glass

The hour glass was cracked couple chards missing
The sand was God given
But now it's all spilling
Stay in my lane play my part
Pray for Gods wisdom
And, yeah, I still spit dem bars, boy
God willing
Yeah it's all nonsense
'Til you wake up to unsanctioned torture
Zip tied to an arm rest
Opposable thumb compressed
Foam ball when palm flexed
Please try to be still for blood draw next
The cisgender had a mentor a pansexual offender
Try to furnish an answer
But can't remember
Which one of the garments
In the closet fit better
Got to be the worst brain fart ever
Salty tears add flavor to the
Otherwise sweet popcorn
Something we all get mocked for
You like that color
There's more of those in the top drawer
It's look great on your hip-hop song

Won't you hold my hand today, yeah
In this world there's so many worries
Lemme get lost in your gaze
No more living my life in a hurry
The fastest way is slowly
And in time we all will rise
And love will find a way to last
Have mercy
'Cause no ones putting sand in the top of our hour glass

The quote unquote celebrated rap lad
Who became a legend from celebrating the block and celebrating black dads
All the Milestones I achieved they put a light above
But know it's double the scars whenever you fight for love
The one who spoke of how the corner store look to us
And then who spoke on how the corner store was took from us
All The Brilliant Things that gradually threw you hope
Became the epilogue
Attached to The Bluest Note
So now picture me
Fresh off the stoop
Where my inner me
Is Branson bags and
Leroy Campbell imagery
Juggling this world I know and all it's symmetry
And now side eyeing it with my eyes on my mini-me
Buried in a smile
Underneath it I'm Tyson
For everything on the prowl
'Cause everything is for Miles
So if ever I bow
Applause is surrounding that
For raising mine
Before they raise their hour glass
Hold my hand it won't be long
Believe it
Don't let go that love grip strong
No more pain no more crying out to God
See you on the other side y'all
Yeah
Another I pictorial
Some corrective development for all of ya
Ya dig
Vote for Canibus my rhymes ain't rigged

Won't you hold my hand today
In this world there's so many worries
Lemme get lost in your gaze
No more living my life in a hurry
And in time we all will rise
And love will find a way to last
Uh
'Cause no ones putting sand in the top of our hour glass
