The Width of a Second

Intro

Verse 1

The more that I drink... the more that I think/
About these chinks in my armor...
Someone get me a shrink/
Too many kinks in my karma...
Got my head in the sink/
I write my will with a quill...
Dip the feather in ink/
And pencil in... my point of view/
Like I was appointed to prove a point...
As if I had a point to prove/
Poundin' booze... got my shoes off balance/
My whole body stays sticky...
I just ooze with talent/
I refuse... to let it spin... out of control/
This medicines... got me out of my skull/
And now I'm all sold out of my soul/
I'm far too cold... to start to fold...
Got scars... far too old/
To carve a hole in my heart... so large it shows/
How I really f*ckin' feel about hoes...
Just so they know/
And... til' they censor it... I choose to use penmanship/
To put my two cents in it... so don't be so sensitive/

Hook 1

Life keeps on driftin' away/
From the cradle to the grave... we all wish we could stay/
And leave our mark on this Earth... then return to the essence/
Return the tensions of time... within the width of a second/
Time keeps on tickin' away/
From the cradle to the grave... we all wish we could stay/
And leave our mark on this Earth... then return to the essence/
We learn the lessons of life... within the width of a second/

Verse 2

Growin' up... it's the small things I took for granted/
Instead of takin' advantage... I wound up doin' more damage/
Too brave to panic right?... Two kids and a wife/
Like how can I manage... let alone save this planet/
Smile for cameras... at some point I learned how/
Like wow... If I only knew then... what I know now/
I'd examine my lyrics... tell the man in the mirror/
To change his damn appearance... he can't dampen my spirits/
It's hard to notice... even harder to grasp/
How hardened my heart became... because of part of my past/
So pardon me this mask... but it's hard for me to ask/
These rappers to guard the task... of sharpening the craft/
I suppose it's just somethin' to gain/
Keep pumpin' our veins... wit' a little somethin' for pain/
Dedicated to fame... self centered and wack/
Self medicatin' our brains... and meditatin' through rap/

Hook 2

Life keeps on driftin' away/
From the cradle to the grave... we all wish we could stay/
And leave our mark on this Earth... then return to the essence/
Return the tensions of time... within the width of a second/
Time keeps on tickin' away/
From the cradle to the grave... we all wish we could stay/
And leave our mark on this Earth... then return to the essence/
We learn the lessons of life... within the width of a second/

Verse 3

I never... ever... expected to be accepted/
For bein' so wreckless... nah... I'd rather be respected/
For bein' subjective/
For bein' selective of the message that I've projected...
I guess... that's the objective/
So suspenseful... too much pressure to press the pencil/
And I was too depressed to set the tempo/
Or address the issue... wet my whistle and pass the pistol/
It's time to hang it all up... it's that official/
I don't get mad... I just switch the station/
It's my fault I situated myself in this situation/
So many people hatin'... so many wonderin'/
When I first started tumblin'... off of my rocker stumblin'/
Mumblin' somethin' about smugglin' f*ckin' hash/
F*ck payin' the government back... I'll be in Iraq/
I'm just sayin'... relax... I'm just playin'... perhaps/
I need a Bufferin... before I collapse/

Hook 3

Life keeps on driftin' away/
From the cradle to the grave... we all wish we could stay/
And leave our mark on this Earth... then return to the essence/
Return the tensions of time... within the width of a second/
Time keeps on tickin' away/
From the cradle to the grave... we all wish we could stay/
And leave our mark on this Earth... then return to the essence/
We learn the lessons of life... within the width of a second/
