Time Don't Stop

(album: Future Proof - 2021)

(Jay Cactus)

I'm not tryna waste my life tryna chase Ps
I used to weigh ounces and weight keys
What's the true meaning of life, can you tell me please?
They way I'm seeing people live is like a disease
It's the same everywhere I go, even overseas
All I see is pain and agony, like when somebody grieves
Nobody's here forever, everybody leaves
So achieve what you can achieve
Appreciate the little things in life like a summer breeze
Every day people get sent off like referees
You might not see tomorrow there's no guarantees
Stay loyal to yourself and your families
I used to steal money off my mum for a gram of cheese
Now I take her on shopping sprees look for properties
Everything can change in a second like nominees
Even if you're ready or not, like refugees

Time don't stop for anybody it just keeps going
Like a river flowing downstream it just keeps flowing
Times get hard people's true colours start showing
It's never too late for consciousness to start growing

Time don't stop for anybody it just keeps going
Like a river flowing downstream it just keeps flowing
Times get hard people's true colours start showing
It's never too late for consciousness to start growing

I can't tell if I'm awake or if I'm in a dream
The reality that we're living in is extreme
The government's always plotting on a next scheme
Empty promises like a fiend that's gonna get clean
I'm on a wave like a jet ski
Make you have a fit like you suffer with epilepsy
The whole world is corrupted evidently
Everybody wants a nice house or a Bentley
What a time to be alive
Only the strongest will survive
It doesn't matter where you live or what car you drive
Just keep staying positive your time will arrive
I've got a lot of deep lyrics in the archives
My whole life's all backed up like a hard drive
I'll be doing this for life, it's not part time
I'm goin in and I can't be stopped like [?]

Time don't stop for anybody it just keeps going
Like a river flowing downstream it just keeps flowing
Times get hard people's true colours start showing
It's never too late for consciousness to start growing

Time don't stop for anybody it just keeps going
Like a river flowing downstream it just keeps flowing
Times get hard people's true colours start showing
It's never too late for consciousness to start growing

Every day it just feels like another struggle
Tryna find the next piece to the puzzle
We're on a different path but it's the same hustle
Gain popularity or tryin to gain muscle (gain muscle)
When I was growing up I used to stay in trouble
On the road like a vicious pit bull with no muzzle
I couldn't see no light at the end of the tunnel
Now shit's about to take off like a space shuttle
Sometimes it gets hard for me to comprehend
Arrogance and negativity that shit I can't defend
Gotta keep it real I can't pretend
Certain organisations I can't attend (never)
It feels like it's the beginning of the end
There's a few messages I wanna send
Keep your enemies close that's what I recommend
You can get stabbed in your back by your closest friend
