My mother use to say;
A man is not old until regrets takes the place of his dreams
So I thought, and decided
Not to count every hour in the day
But to make every hour in the day count

Oh fool, why always in a hurry
Today's not spent even a little
But you gone in a brittle
Don't you know I have to catch a lorry

Brother's doing time, he's on parole
We plan to plead the fifth
The miranda's right is a shield, not a sword
So says the judge, jury and the executioner

The world is mad, mad in haste
School says come to class on time
Boss says be at work in time
The miser bank says pay up in time

The project must be submitted on time
Flight dismissed, why waste my time
It's party time, that's the best of time
Everyone is time conscious or crazy of time

So I took the subway, connected to the post
Met a man who tried to bludgeon another
I fell on him, smuggled the knife out of his reach
I ribbed his spines and ripped it open

I could see his reds tripping as he is showered in the pool of his own blood
So I heard from a distance from afar
Your hands up, keep your mouth shut
Every shit you say can and will be used against you in the court of law

So in trying to save a brother
I end up beside a brother
Both in the court bar and the prison bar
We both want to plead the fifth

I realized that the world is really crazy
We want to keep up with time
We want to outrun time
But time is not quantifiable,
Neither can it be defined
Time is like pain, it cannot be measured
Cos even while watching time, you are wasting time

So why not live easy, and let nature take it cause
Let's live today, like tomorrow is a mystery
Fight for what's right, but don't lose your life along the line
Time is precious brother, and so is your life.
