Pase Rock - It's About Time lyrics

One to the two and uh
Three to the four and uh five six and uh
Seven eight had to set it straight
Nine ten and I begin

Against the clock, been racin' the rock
And you won't find nothing that'll
Be making me stop
So don't even give it a thought
Time can never be bought
We've argued pro it and for it
Only to find that it's all about Time
You can never rewind
Only fast forward and eject
So show it respect
We've all been given a set amount
We've gotta make it count
Everybody seems to think that
It's running out
I wake up in the morning and
Walk into the day to see
People moving every which way, so let's go
Okay? It's me and you Time in life
I live mine by the rhyme
Rolling with the flyest design
I get a move on the rest
I get my groove on the best
Please relax and chill - got no
Time to be actin' ill
There's a void I need to fill
To make use of my skill
Build and climb to reach heights unattained
Change your mind and don't lose
Sight of the original find

You gotta keep it together, y'all
Cause it's about Time it's about Time
Gotta keep it together, y'all
Cause it's about Time it's about Time

Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks
And months plenty of Time on the pie to
Get the piece you want
If you really keep it real
Then you cease to front
Put on a show for nobody
Unless it's on the stage
With a mic, two decks and some hype
Party people in the crowd -
Let's get counted alike (uh huh)
It's my Time to shine for my folks at home
Me and this microphone coastin' time zones
Waitin' for the second hand to
Smack these rhyme clones
And then gimme a pound
So we can dip into song
Time is my homeboy, what y'all didn't know?
We go back to my melody on radio
Even though he's mad cool, he's still shady
Though done me wrong on occasion
Always keepin' me waitin'
They say patience is a virtue
But Time's a mother fucker
Always thought he was legit -
Come to find he's undercover
Creepin' up on that ass, either slow or fast
And don't make the mistake of
Thinkin' you can outlast but don't stop
So keep an eye on your watch
Because sometimes it's the time and that's
All you got - think not?
Keep an eye on your watch
Cause sometimes the Time is all you got

It's about Time
Sometimes it's the Time - that's all you got
It's about Time eleven to the twelve and uh
It's about Time don't stop

It don't matter how you measure
Sunny day or stormy weather
The Time is going to make it through whatever
It's never endin'
I'm recommendin' that you pace yourself
(Like me) if you need a hand take some help
We all in this together we can do whatever
Don't ever say you don't have Time
That used to be a favorite excuse of mine
And there's no such thing as
Free Time, or spare Time
But Time is a constant
A lot of people don't know the Time
Until they take it for granted
They don't know what's goin' on the
Other side of the planet
Over there they got a different time
A different frame of mind
No matter where you are you're
Still just in Time time is everything
Most don't understand or comprehend
It doesn't have a start or an end
Just when someone's Time is
Up someone else's begins
Said it before and I'll say it again
(It don't stop)

We're just slaves to this word called
Time - check your watch
I said it before and I'll say it a lot
We're just slaves to this word called
Time - check your watch it's about Time
