lyrics

There's so much I want to do today
But I can't

Look at the schedule
My to do list
My conclusion is to move with
Every hour like water/flow/streams
Maybe at the end
when it's all said n done
In my bed
there's a pot of gold
Self grown iz
How I want to be
But when I'm forced
to be realistic
I feel like I don't give my better half
the benefit of the doubt
Ask Serena
How the tennis bounce
Cause that's me between engagements
I'm engaged to the clock
Yet no wedding dress
Just ring around the Rosie's

If I were drink
Pour me
If I were verde
Roll me
Even the Highway to hell
Gonna find a way to toll me

since I
Sense the details
ever since I paid a dollar
got back a shinier 50 cents
Tell me how that makes sense
been trying to bend time
Like bankers bend the truth
Let me take you where I've been to
landscapes of big bend, tombs
...of poems resurrected
make you wanna find time to bench too
Then Our motives intercepted
By moments came unexpected
Holding you hostage we call em
Commitment infections

So now I aim for a steady vibe
Instead of (patrice) RUSHEN thru
the core of thengs
Like I was chanNtucker
so much to be done
I couldn't stand
standing around
Dancing subjects
I just want to be a dancer
Really
Move my hips through the calendar
Like tomatoes
puréed
with jalapeños
My agenda like a menu
Many options
My Ascension like rain do
The same just the opposite
My porogitiv is provocative
Jackson pollock painting a bee
gettin Pollen
Polished as polish get
in the real world
If there is one
If I gotta thought
Ima write it till it mends one
Better
I mean
in terms of terminating
The men who bring...
women pain
who cause climate change
You see the range
in weather?
We live in times where teslas ride
thru a gas funded state
laced in leather

So check the time
Que ahora es?
If the question es
how is your time best spent?
I'd say you
gotta figure out your currency
Contrast your current's speed
With that of the city streets
And take what's yours
Like it's time burglary

I won't let time tell
Ima tell time:
no week could make me weak
No day could make me dazed
No hour could ruin ours
When these minutes
section seconds turf
If I look for more time
It's an endless search

(...the question is,
With all this shit to do
What comes first?)
