Race Against Time

I ain't out for the money I'm here to make more, I'm tracin' paper Like a sheet, on top of a piece of A4 I'm straight raw, drink till I face the floor's face I chase my thoughts through the twirl from an eight ball But I question my mental stability I need to score somethin' but what's helpin' me's killin' me I can't see a life in the future There ain't no forthcomin' like the end of a trilogy What's left?
