[Verse 1]

I got four minutes to tell you that time is passing

Before your very eyes, life is flashing by

Didn't want the end to catch you by surprise

Word to the wise, look to the skies

And consider the obliteration of a nation

Concentrating, you can see the page turn

Everybody look real calm

Though it may seem like nothing’s wrong

I'm close to gone, you can't tell if I’m up or down

I got two feet on the ground just sorta hanging around

Anticipation, I'm a culmination, sittin', waitin', I'm gettin' impatient

'Cause I need to know right this moment what I'm holding on to

Feeling all alone, is it a figment of a falsity?

An illusion for all to see, for we need to [?] possibly

There’s meaning and [?] hidden in this life we were [?] who am I kidding?

I’m as scared as you are, but I wonder am I [?] too far?

In murky seas, we all come and go, eternity, can't be controlled

Contemplations are fake, breaking me down, it’s taking me low

So when the singers sing and people shout

So say a god damn thing, what's life about? You feel?

Ignorance can't be bliss when it hurts like this


[Chorus]

Time stops for no one and you're one of billions

Millions of people have crossed that road

While a grandmother dies so an infant grows

Time stops for no one and you’re one of billions

Millions of people have walked that path

Moments are golden, but they never last


[Verse 2]

Past, present, and future, they suture together

To make a continuous state of ambiguous

I can't deal with this unknown blackness, outer space, no steady place

Vertigo's got a hold, I don't know where to go

Do you know answers? No?

I gotta recollect how my intellect has got me up to my neck in doubt, it's not over yet

Driftwood in the ocean, lost to commotion

Floating like a boat without a sail

In sailing, I'm an aimless being

And in sailing, I wanna seem serene

Eons and epics and decades and [?]

A breath away, a breath a day

A loss of oxygen, a noxious straw, there's lots of them

Chit-chat people constantly

Talkin' 'em, blockin' 'em, watchin' 'em, clockin' em

Tick-tick-tockin' 'em, time just stalkin' 'em, time just stoppin' 'em

Inescapably, I got a dream and I wanna make it come true

Trust me, must be completely on my terms

But I don't know the rules of the universe

Cursed so I write a verse, speaking my mind

The only thing that's true is the passage of time

Watches rewind, hands turn back

The minutes of my life, sadness, as I reminisce

How many moments of my past I might've missed


[Chorus]

Time stops for no one and you're one of billions

Millions of people have crossed that road

While a grandmother dies so an infant grows

Time stops for no one and you're one of billions

Millions of people have walked that path

Moments are golden, but they never last


[Verse 3]

I'm aware of lots of things, but I feel real scared like constantly

Listlessness and grocery lists and shit I gotta get to

Missing the people that got taken from you

While I forgive time, time doesn't

I know that it was but I wish that it wasn't

Even though you're gone, I won't stop loving

But because you're gone, I keep on struggling

One, one thousand, two, one thousand, three, one thousand, four

A thousand more seconds of [?] that I can't help

But try to keep score

In conclusion, my confusion's elusive

I'd understand that I'll never find the truth

Except that living's no more than waiting to say goodnight

Fade to black, take a bow

Hey folks, show's over now, move on

As the lights go out, no, I hope there's more to come

Beyond the sun


[Chorus]

Time stops for no one and you're one of billions

Millions of people have crossed that road

While a grandmother dies so an infant grows

Time stops for no one and you're one of billions

Millions of people have walked that path

Moments are golden, but they never last

[Outro: Intro Reprise]

So, instead of doing my normal intro on this take

I'm just gonna, just gonna just say one little thing

And that one little thing is

[?] exorcism


[Scream]

That's all I'm gonna say, listen, okay

I was born in Wilmette and I have a pet dog named Pepper

He's a leper and I carry him around in a Tupperware box

On my head is golden locks

In my heart is a picture of my family

Lost to divorce but we live pretty happily

Eat no milk 'cause it makes me shite

I wish NSYNC would reunite

I'm a rap star and I'm gorgeous

I write prose like Jorge Borges

Poetry's flowing from my mouth like vomit

Flaymation, Wallace and Gromit

Blingity blang blang, ho in a handbag

Obese rhymes, I spit sandbags

In ninth grade, fetal pig dissection

Sophomore year, got a yeast infection (Two times!)

Haters be everywhere, they're all up in my hair

Word to my people on Green Bay Road

If you don't know, now you know, hey, hey

You know what? (What?) That was the shit
