Time Taker

As I open my eyes up to a new day

I see the same old shit that I was face to face with yesterday

It's all the same and I can't change time

An example of a young **** trapped up in his brain's dime

I close my eyes to refrain my thoughts

Then open my eyes to remain untaught

Why my life gotta have a yesterday

Why can't I memorize tomorrow and live my life but just today

A baby's born and you hear mom's cryin

Is she cryin cause she's happy

Or the fact she knows she's born dyin

Probably some shit we'll never figure out

I think my mind is plottin plans

But my second mind tryin to take me out

I had a dream and I think I saw a dude

Cause he had the looks that of a killer

And he sung to me these four tunes

He told me life is like a game of dice

You roll em right the first time

But you seldom get to roll em twice

Not understandin what he said, doc

I found myself in the middle of life in an infrared dock

So tell me doctor is you gettin that

Mothafuckas bustin at you with wigs now can you picture that

That's why you find me in a salt mine

Cause in this world we live together

But divided by a chalk line

You wanted to hear my life story well I told ya

Maybe there's answers to my question in your manila folder

What's the solution to this mind state

You tellin me it's gonna take you some time

How long do time take

I'm losin focus on this straight line

And time don't wait for mothafuckas

So now I'm forced to take time

I pulled my popper out my trousers, aimed it at his abdomen

And grabbed the man's life away from him in a moment

Angel dust and heroin and all that I was on it my opponent

Never knew what hit him, as I was bootin

I heard him say "get down somebody's shootin"

He didn't realize he was the target

I didn't realize what I was doin til he departed, oh Lord

I'm feelin somethin I never felt black

I told his momma I was sorry she said sorry won't bring him back

God gave life to the human race

And he alone has the right to take it away

So I tell me that I don't care

But every time I dim the lights I'm havin mothafuckin nightmares

It's been a year since I heard dude holler

And I can still smell the mothafuckin gunpowder

What does life mean to me

I'd trade places with him in a heartbeat if I was granted peace

I try to wipe it out my memory

I saw a shrink but she couldn't provide a remedy

I'm public enemy number one

Waitin in line on death row to get the needle, for what I done

Pretty soon I meet my maker

The creator, the one and only true time taker

How much more longer I got life left

You don't know that's why I live day for day and take it right left

And try to take two steps at a time

Makin sure I position stay two steps behind

Keep in mind, these **** wanna see me lettin go of shit

That's why I fight for my life until it's over with

I know these **** havin hard times

That's why I'm standin up and fightin for shit, when it regards mines

Why must I always sing these sad songs

Because it comforts all my feelings inside til all the bad's gone

You wanted to hear my life story well I told ya

Maybe there's answers to my questions in your fuckin folder

What's the solution to this mind state

You tellin me it's gonna take you some time

How long do time take

I'm losin focus on my straight line

And time don't wait for mothafuckas

So now I'm forced to take time
