lyrics

[Snypa D Delic]
As time flies by every year I'm getting older
Months fly by and days are soon over
I tell myself to keep composure
Remain strong like a soldier and catch what life throws ya
Too much a lot of weight on your shoulder
Life can be tough I'm sure you knew before I told ya
Friends close, enemies closer
This ain't Jeremy Dot Operah, nah
I'm getting what's rightfully mine so I'm
Going all out when I'm writing these rhymes
In time I visualize I'll make it big time
So in my spare time I'm writing these rhymes
Driving 'em mental, but yet I don't drive
So slap on an instrumental and just close your eyes
As I take you on a trip to the depths of my mind
A place non-civilized and full of grey skies, no lies
This is my life in words and when I
Wrote this verse I struggled at first but
Then I thought fuck it mate, show 'em what you're worth
So for now, since birth, I swear I've been cursed
I been from good to bad, then worse
From worse to bad then flip it in reverse
Kill it when I spit it give it everything I've learned
Throughout the years the tables have turned, look
I turned my life round now
Cos I'm living my life safe and sound now
Check my YouTube account or Sound Cloud
All these weak emcees better bow down
I been crossed, I been lost, but I'm found now
I got over it now since I found out
Out to everyone I really wanna stand out
GAS MASK FORMATION, we're gonna stand out!

[Chorus - Will-Powerz]
These hands of mine
They can't do nothing 'bout the hands of time
I can't do nothing with these hands of mine
They can't do nothing 'bout the hands of time...

[Will-Powerz]
Space/time I chase by and erase mistakes I made tryna base my life on
Fake signs, I trace lines in case it takes the shape Iwould equate the size from
Part of my life's gone, I measure in years
Irrelevant numerical rhetoric subtlely smears
I've got nothing to fear, I have struggles and near buckles
And clear sincere trouble to steer what appears to bubble beneath cheers!
Any anniversary; personal or universal working the rehearsal we
Learn observing history, furnishing the mystery
Of yearning for the gift to see the person that you wish to be
The clock ticks another tock
Another thief somewhere pickas another lock
Another leaky tap drip-drips another drop
And another 'once had' becomes another 'have not'...
Space/time relativity, I embrace mine as it's relevant to me
If an element's ever perceived beating the limit of life speed
It might be a nice read with a sweet cup of tea
It's hard escaping the past
We see it every time we get a glance at the stars
Or a chance in our bars as rappers to go hard
On a shard of our heart that's irreparably scarred.
Whether we are or we aren't gonna last
One minute ends then another one starts
You cover it in your graft or your art when you mark
What's regarded as charting the parts of your craft!
You only need to be half-smart
Clock ticks aren't easy to tell apart like...

[Chorus]
