(Jay Cactus)

[Verse 1]

I'm not tryna waste my life tryna chase Ps

I used to weigh ounces and weight keys

What's the true meaning of life, can you tell me please?

They way I'm seeing people live is like a disease

It's the same everywhere I go, even overseas

All I see is pain and agony, like when somebody grieves

Nobody's here forever, everybody leaves

So achieve what you can achieve

Appreciate the little things in life like a summer breeze

Every day people get sent off like referees

You might not see tomorrow there's no guarantees

Stay loyal to yourself and your families

I used to steal money off my mum for a gram of cheese

Now I take her on shopping sprees look for properties

Everything can change in a second like nominees

Even if you're ready or not, like refugees

[Hook]

Time don't stop for anybody it just keeps going

Like a river flowing downstream it just keeps flowing

Times get hard people's true colours start showing

It's never too late for consciousness to start growing

Time don't stop for anybody it just keeps going

Like a river flowing downstream it just keeps flowing

Times get hard people's true colours start showing

It's never too late for consciousness to start growing

[Verse 2]

I can't tell if I'm awake or if I'm in a dream

The reality that we're living in is extreme

The government's always plotting on a next scheme

Empty promises like a fiend that's gonna get clean

I'm on a wave like a jet ski

Make you have a fit like you suffer with epilepsy

The whole world is corrupted evidently

Everybody wants a nice house or a Bentley

What a time to be alive

Only the strongest will survive

It doesn't matter where you live or what car you drive

Just keep staying positive your time will arrive

I've got a lot of deep lyrics in the archives

My whole life's all backed up like a hard drive

I'll be doing this for life, it's not part time

I'm goin in and I can't be stopped like [?]

[Hook]

Time don't stop for anybody it just keeps going

Like a river flowing downstream it just keeps flowing

Times get hard people's true colours start showing

It's never too late for consciousness to start growing

Time don't stop for anybody it just keeps going

Like a river flowing downstream it just keeps flowing

Times get hard people's true colours start showing

It's never too late for consciousness to start growing

[Verse 3]

Every day it just feels like another struggle

Tryna find the next piece to the puzzle

We're on a different path but it's the same hustle

Gain popularity or tryin to gain muscle (gain muscle)

When I was growing up I used to stay in trouble

On the road like a vicious pit bull with no muzzle

I couldn't see no light at the end of the tunnel

Now shit's about to take off like a space shuttle

Sometimes it gets hard for me to comprehend

Arrogance and negativity that shit I can't defend

Gotta keep it real I can't pretend

Certain organisations I can't attend (never)

It feels like it's the beginning of the end

There's a few messages I wanna send

Keep your enemies close that's what I recommend

You can get stabbed in your back by your closest friend
