[Verse 1]

It seems like lately time be beatin’ my ass

Every step is like a right hook

From Iron Mike Tyson in his prime

It’s like my mind is on a treadmill

I’m sweatin’ bullets, I see the plug but I can’t pull it

This belt just keeps bringin’ me back

And every minute is like a tiger uppercut from Sagat

I’m up against these ropes, and ain’t no tellin’ if I win or not

These gloves are getting heavy

It’s fight or flight you know how that goes

Facin’ clocks is chasin’ got me dodgin’ obstacles

And every hour is like a tightrope, I walk with greasy shoes

Still yet I got my conscience tellin’ me that I can’t lose

So every time I start slippin’ and ego’s start trippin

I focus real hard and levitate just like I’m God

And everything is lovely, I’m in the clouds no one above me

With the gift to differentiate snakes from those that love me

There’s a thin line between happiness and hopeless

An even thinner line between on point and out of focus

But Back to my story, about my fall from glory

And how I levitate from the fate time put before me

They say ‘Be patient’

But what the fuck is patience when my heart is racin’?

Put yourself in my situation

Try to be humble, you won’t refrain from getting pissed

When you look down to see you’re fallin’ right through time’s abyss

And start to see visions

Memories you really miss, simple things, like;

Your first birthday wish

Your first girlfriend

Your first love

Your first French kiss

Your first time feeling hate

The first time you got dissed

Your first day of school

Your very first college class

Your first time touchin’ titties

First time you got ass

Your first time learnin’ wrong from right

First lonely night

The first time you got your ass whooped in

Your first real fight

Your first triple-double dare

Your first pubic hair

Your first time watchin’ Jason

Your first nightmare

That’s when you realize that time was your worst nightmare

And now you’re stuck asking yourself ‘Why ain’t life fair?'

You get closer to the bottom, see the end of your line

Your first time ever losin’ this battle with time

But right before you meet your death, one more memory left

The only one that’s obsolete was your first breath (3x)

[Hook]

One moon to the next

Clocks switch when you least expect it and make the simplest shit complex

The baby face got the planet fooled

Books get judged by the covers worldwide, coincide with the illest

The real is just fictional dreams

No time to deal with two dimensional fiends, shit hit’s the fan with every click of a hand

I’ll be a man eventually

When the kid in me is satisfied

But ‘til the day arrives all I got is eighty-five

[Verse 2]

A clock can kill motivation

That’s why I’m never rockin’ a watch

What’s a deadline when you’re living on your own time?

I’m livin’ slow, Peter Pan style son

You didn’t know I never grow up, my mind is set at six years old

As far as I’m concerned this grown-up shit is for the birds

So pass the skittles, JuJu Fruits, the Now N Laters, and Nerds

I’m eatin’ sweets until my teeth fall out and I can’t see

And I’m deaf in my left ear but my right can hear cause I’m livin’ happily

So why you mad at me? Cause your frustrations gave you grey hairs

99% of your life’s spent chasin’ American nightmares

I’m crazy childish, just check the habits

I play with my food, pick my nose, and eat it damn it

Plus I pick my scabs, I be the first to pop a blister

Cause I’m more immature than that cat from Sister-Sister

If my parents tell me no I’m gonna do it anyway

Experience will make more sense than anything that they could ever say

[Verse 3]

Forever playin’ video games until I’m sleepy

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, please, you’ll never beat me

So basically you’re better off paying a bill or somethin’

Your mind is elderly, forty over the hill or somethin’

I’m young at heart, I’mma forever be a kid

I’m on some Tom Hanks shit, you ever seen the movie Big?

My heart is trapped in ’85 the coolest place I’ve ever been in my life

We watchin’ Smurfs, eatin’ cinnamon LIFE

Never knew a crack rock, cause it was Fraggle

The only pink pussy we knew was Snaggle, Your mind’s in the dirt

We playin’ Hungry-Hippo’s ‘til our hands hurt

What do you know about pourin’ out a whole box of Trix to get the toy out

(Scared to) go to sleep cause somethin’s under your bed

(And all it) took was one look to get them thoughts out your head

(And then ya’) fall right to sleep without a worry in mind

(That’s why I) Can’t understand why cat’s be hurryin’ time

And I don’t wanna grow up I’m a Crab Apple Kid

And I enjoy the company of people I relate wit’

But if it comes down to it, to deal with cat’s that I despise

I just close my eyes and drift away to Eighty-Five

[Hook] (2x)
