Testo The Times

Oh oh, oh yeah yeah
Do do do do I
Yeah
No you can't hide
No no no

I’ve been running from life
Tired of living in I've cried rivers
I'm still tired of swimming in
I’ve been missing my youth and my innocence
I've got dirt, that's glued to my finger tip
I tried picking it off, tried mixing in
Tried to bribe and tie the witnesses
Passport stamp with times I tried skipping them
Bored of the build a new life like immigrants
Ain't no mountain, no valley
Or way to hide the mind's images
trapped as a prisoner
Of bad habits and glad bags of indigo
Spliff ashes till I'm as shit
Till I flip and skitz
There's no chance I'm quitting this And all my friends act as if
They do not have shit in their pasts
That they wish they didn’t do
Make me feel outcast, like Hootie Hoo
Make my wounds turn a darker shade blue
Make me pray to stay in my cave all day
Till I’ve paid the way
Make me feel like fake is in fashion
Make me feel like I do not suit
Make me cut you all off
Like fuck you, you're lost
Don’t care what it cost me

Nobody I can blame, [blame
Trying to keep myself sane
I just can't run from the times
Nobody's willing to change, till it all goes up in flames
I just can't run from the times
I know I’ve been blessed
And lord you know me best
I just can't run from the times
And no you can't hide
Can't run from the times
I just can't run from the times

Yeah, yo, Rem
Incase you wanted to do a remix
I thought I might lay a verse on it
I can relate to running away from it
And I'd like to say some words on it
I've been up and down and round n round
On this rollercoaster thing we call life
Wear smiles so most think I'm alright
But they don't know I shed tears the whole night
Put a front on for these snakes that we run with
I've lost family friends to this dumb shit
Best advice is keep yourself to yourself
Don't poke your nose on some humpty hump shit
Yeah
And no good deed goes unpunished
So I ain't giving these hoes no money
No more lens for friends
I can't even appreciate all of this time they take from it
I know they hate on me
I don't even care
I'm here living my life like prince of Bel Air
Got pounds of Cali and drinks everywhere
I wear fancy clothes and tints for the glare
Yeah let em' think what they wanna think
My reality getting close to the brink
Trying to put myself together with missing links
Every time I build myself up
They making me shrink
And feel small, fuck it I still ball
If i put my life on the line would you still call
How to be that guy you offload nah
Carry all this weight I got no one
To share my issues, cos I've got shit too
Powers so I got something to get shit through
I lead on the road and I roll a tissue
To deal with the grief
Lord knows I miss you

Nobody I can blame, [blame
Trying to keep myself sane
I just can't run from the times
Nobody's willing to change, till it all goes up in flames
I just can't run from the times
I know I've been blessed
And lord you know me best
I just can't run from the times
And no you can't hide
Can't run from the times
I just can't run from the times

All this running from life
Might tire my ligaments
Flights delayed, I feel the fight kicking in
I've been learning to live in this skin I'm in
Now I sit in the sun, catch vitamin
Now I head to the shop, find water
Let it wash over my forehead, light glistening
Now I open the door with that
Aimed at the people I love
My worst viliain is
Torch villages, burnt those bridges
Cuss more so the won't fix it
Without the syphilis I rode those sisters
go missing
No vision
Low key loads of dope
One more toke might blow my chances
I might choke, when they close my business
If I don't chase my dreams - I don't sleep
If I don't sauté beats - we don't eat
Means I fucked my partner out of his dream too
So that when this is through we won't speak
And who do you blame when this is your name and
I lose brain, Cobain and O.D
Time to dust myself and love myself
Cause' I know what this cost me
