Time Granted Lyrics
[Hook x2]
Time waits for no one so don’t take it for granted, make
The most of it before it’s too late
Yea cause I know the rain's gonna fall today
But it's okay
[Verse 1]
I was raised in archaic days
Targeted race by shade
Bragonomics and AIDs
Crack was a plague
Back when we all felt safe
But lately it's the same charade
Blackened hearts harden to clay
Odd as the 80's is often regarded as
Hardly as harsh as it is today
Is it the kids? Is it the schools?
Is it the parent's inherited views?
It is the man, the myth, the government's bitch
The rich, the better-than-you?
Fear is a weakling, hate's deceiving
Love is a weapon of faith, believe me
I reason with them to the bittersweet end
But you'd better be ready to leave here again
[Bridge x2]
Friend or foe
Family, enemy eventually gone
Energy, memory, song
Spirit for ever live on
Spirit for ever live long
[Hook x2]
Time waits for no one so don’t take it for granted, make
The most of it before it’s too late
Yea cause I know the rain's gonna fall today
But it's okay
[Verse 2]
I can still recall the day when my father came home
From a decade in prison to find
Nothing was the same, no
Bragonomics we were raised on

Ice Cube, Slick Rick
All the facts to alter that we prayed on
Fresh marker, black, to autograph the city
Hangin' with them harder cats
With hearts that lack pity
And we learned from it
Turned numb, kept them headphones on
A burdened son waiting for the world to plummet (let's go!)
Made it through now I'm touchin' on the truth
All I wanna do is pass it on to you 1-2 (1-2)
And when I pass I leave this mess behind
What I came to do was master life
And I pray and wish the same for you
[Hook x2]
Time waits for no one so don’t take it for granted, make
The most of it before it’s too late
Yea cause I know the rain's gonna fall today
But it's okay
[Outro]
From the woods
North, East, West, South and worldwide
We feel the wind open up your third eye
And if you're with me let me hear you say
Aha aha ahahaha
To the hoods
North, East, West, South and worldwide
We feel the wind open up your third eye
And if you're with me let me hear you say
Aha aha ahahaha
