Time

…Time…

I woke up, and felt like a new man,
Got my pen and paper,
And started to make a plan,
For the day,
You never know what just might come my way.

(chorus)
And we all just need to take our time and slow down,
Stop to smell the roses,
Before the door closes,
And before we have nothing,
Except for our memories, our dreams, and all our get rich schemes,
So just take your time and slow down,
Before your door closes,
And before there’s no more roses,
And you got nothing to show for what you’ve done,
And Ya gotta learn that life ain’t always fun!

Some say it’s luck,
Luck of the Irish,
But I just don’t give a fuck,
I ain’t one of them rich bastards,
Ya know, the ones that get all the girls,
Them girls with the little brown curls,
But that ain’t me,
I like to go get plastered,
With all the other poor bastards,

Ya gotta think of all the possibilities,
Like what if you forgot your keys?
Or you got stung by some bees?
What if your allergic?
What then?
You’d be dead,
Like a cat that wasn’t fed,
Ya just gotta think ahead,
And think of what could’ve happened
If you were to do that back then,
Would it change anything?
Would it of made you king?
Just forget about that,
And let life flow,
Don’t worry about Mr. John Doe,
Just look out for yourself,
No one else,
Just let life take you on a trip,
Yeah sure you might think it‘s a jip,
But it’s not always down a dead end road,
The road will always go,
And yeah sure sometimes it blows,
But you just gotta relax,
And try not to hate them damn blacks,
Forget all them meaningless facts,
Algebra, history, and all that shit,
It ain’t worth your time,
Getting good grades,
Ain’t the biggest hill that you need to climb,

(chorus)

Cause in the end,
Ya gotta realize,
We learn from our mistakes,
And life ain’t no piece of cake,
So in the end all I can say is this,
Life is Bliss!
Ya just gotta make it that way,
It takes a lot of work and barely any play…

(chorus)

So stop and smell the roses before they close your door !
And before you forget all the good times you’ve had before!
