More Time from Another Somethin' by JND/jas0nbeats

Time passing, feel it more as you're getting older /
When you were younger used to wish away the years, they told you /
How you shouldn't do and just enjoy the time remaining /
I remember year 2, Mrs Burden and my mind escaping /

Far from academic /
My SAT scores told the story of a lad progressing /
At a rate on the cusp of just below the level set by t'curriculum /
I blame my handwriting, still messy now as it was then /

Let's skip back to when I was younger /
My mum used to write me short stories, little poems about her son to /
Help develop this imagination /
I'd like to thank her for the time she'd taken /

Coz if it wasn't for her influence, I probably wouldn't rap today /
And if I didn't then I probably would have passed away /
Coz this writing helps to keep me sane /
I don't do it for another reason /

I s'pose it's cool I get to stand on stage /
But I'm not arsed about being centre of attention for the rest o't'time I pass my days /
More concerned with politics than fashion, that's displayed /
In any page I've wrote my piece on /

Let's take it back to Year 8 in my second school /
English project Xanadu got me feeling super stupid /
Bottom of the class till the end of year eleven /
Still achieved a 'C' in English, even I din't think I'd do it /

And sometimes you can surprise yourself /
Even though you might be doubtful coz of someone else's standards high as hell /
Why should buy that dream they're tryna sell? /
That in't for everyone /

Should be doing x by this age, and y by that /
Y'can't have z before x and y, that's fact /
But everyone's an individual trnya find a different route /
And their goals wouldn't fit with you /

I need more time, coz there's too many things to do /
And I can feel every sand grain steady slipping through /
The clock ticking got me feeling blue /
Coz we don't live forever /

I need more time, to enjoy it while I'm living too /
And spend a larger portion more so with the people who /
Deserve it, and that's all you need to do /
Coz we don't live forever /
