Description
This track sounds like a dispute with eternity, where the main adversary is the clock on the wall. In it, time sometimes strikes from behind, sometimes steals minutes, and sometimes suddenly turns into a gift, if you manage to notice it. There is no moralizing here, only honest recognition: everything you have experienced - both victories and mistakes - turns into lessons, and every second demands attention, as if sand were dripping in an endless hourglass.
The music maintains a balance between anger and gratitude: as if someone is simultaneously cursing the calendar and embracing life for the fact that it exists at all.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Once I have the vision and it's all
0:02
mine. The biggest wall built is a small
0:05
mind. Faith is a factor. It ain't all
0:07
grind. But if you don't work, then it's
0:10
all lies. Change for the good. Still say
0:12
what respect was the same to the day God
0:14
came to collect. If you ask how I do it,
0:17
well, I guess I push it to the max.
0:20
Well, in this lifetime, if it can't kill
0:22
me, then don't stress it. If it could
0:24
bring joy, then just let it. You worry
0:27
about a clock that don't exist. New
0:28
rule. If it ain't something to remember,
0:30
then forget it. Where others see a
0:32
burden is a blessing. Blessing. Don't
0:34
ever take a fall without a lesson. My
0:36
life a work of art without a question.
0:38
Give you this message. Time wins. No
0:40
exception.

1:15
time. Really need to throw hands with
1:17
hands and then some cuz time keeps
1:18
jumping me. Never shoot me a fair one.
1:20
Seconds undermining me. Minutes hold me
1:22
for ransom. If I can't give all the
1:24
time, maybe his grandson will do it. I
1:26
find out what'll really make them tear
1:28
to pay for all these seconds, minutes,
1:29
hours that I miss. She was hours anyway,
1:31
right? Messing with our time so much.
1:33
every 6 months rearranging for daylight.
1:36
Lost homies for a future that may never
1:37
come. Reminisce over a present that was
1:40
overlooked. Got me living in the past
1:42
that's already done. Still haunted by a
1:44
future that I never shook. Time
1:46
traveling through all dimensions. The
1:48
fact that I had none my own invention.
1:50
Uh pendulum swings and the sand falls.
1:53
You could plan in advance for the call
1:54
saying your man's gone. Change the speed
1:56
on the hands of a damn clock. Fast or
1:59
slow, but either way you can't watch.
2:01
You can't take it with you, but you can
2:02
carry it every day. Threading the day.
2:04
You see that chomp undefeated. You are
2:07
your genius. It's looking at my biggest
2:09
decisions. Couldn't believe it. Anything
2:11
I would have done different, I use
2:12
logic. And anything that worked out,
2:14
happiness was the reason.

Don't
2:58
ever win time.
