Nujabes - It's About Time lyrics

One to the two and uh Three to the four and uh Five six and uh Seven eight Had to set it straight Nine ten And I begin Against the clock, been racin' the rock And you won't find nothing that'll be making me stop So don't even give it a thought - Time can never be bought We've argued pro it and for it Only to find that it's all about Time, you can never rewind Only fast forward and eject, So show it respect We've all been given a set amount, We've gotta make it count Everybody seems to think that it's running out I wake up in the morning and walk into the day to see People moving every which way, so let's go, okay? It's me and you Time in life, I live mine by the rhyme Rolling with the flyest design I get a move on the rest, I get my groove on the best Please relax and chill - got no Time to be actin' ill There's a void I need to fill to make use of my sk** Build and climb to reach heights unattained Change your mind and don't lose sight of the original find You gotta keep it together, y'all, cause it's about Time It's about Time Gotta keep it together, y'all, cause it's about Time It's about Time Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, and months Plenty of Time on the pie to get the piece you want If you really keep it real, then you cease to front Put on a show for nobody unless it's on the stage With a mic, two decks and some hype Party people in the crowd - let's get counted alike (uh-huh) It's my Time to shine for my folks at home Me and this microphone coastin' time zones Waitin' for the second hand to smack these rhyme clones And then gimme a pound, so we can dip into song Time is my homeboy, what y'all didn't know? We go back to my melody on radio Even though he's mad cool, he's still shady, though Done me wrong on occasion, always keepin' me waitin' They say patience is a virtue, but Time's a mother f**er Always thought he was legit - come to find he's undercover Creepin' up on that a**, either slow or fast And don't make the mistake of thinkin' you can outlast But don't stop So keep an eye on your watch, because sometimes it's the time and that's all you got - think not? Keep an eye on your watch, cause sometimes the Time is all you got It's about Time Sometimes it's the Time - that's all you got It's about Time Eleven to the twelve and uh It's about Time Don't stop It don't matter how you measure, sunny day or stormy weather The Time is going to make it through whatever It's never endin' I'm recommendin' that you pace yourself (Like me) If you need a hand take some help We all in this together; we can do whatever Don't ever say you don't have Time, that used to be a favorite excuse of mine And there's no such thing as free Time, or spare Time, but Time is a constant A lot of people don't know the Time - until they take it for granted They don't know what's goin' on the other side of the planet Over there they got a different time, a different frame of mind No matter where you are you're still just in Time Time is everything, most don't understand or comprehend - it doesn't have a start or an end Just when someone's Time is up someone else's begins Said it before and I'll say it again (It don't stop) We're just slaves to this word called Time - check your watch I said it before and I'll say it a lot We're just slaves to this word called Time - check your watch It's about Time
