Faster Than Time - Slaine

So now they call us pioneers

Remember fresh out the jungle?

Hittin the launch pad like the lion here

Dre the truth, ain’t no lyin there

I’m a beast like Eli, in my city I’m a Giant there

Kept writin and rectin like my time was near

Movin at a fast pace, I ain’t had no time to spare

The total package — my kind is rare

Had labels showin me dotted lines like, Sign it here

So my time is here

The flow cold like sittin outside in the winter on a iron chair

Still street, so I always got the iron near

And the goons too, I’m a goon too

F. Crew from the womb to the tomb, duke

Be a star — that I was groomed to

Watch how the boy shine

Red lights and road blocks’ll never stop how the boy grind

I tell you nothin moves faster than time

It never stops or slows down at all

All my best friends and enemies, I don’t know them at all

No more, no more, no more, no more

I tell you nothin moves faster than time

It never stops or slows down at all

So I guess I should fall back but I ain’t got nowhere to fall

No more, no more, no more

This is the last rhyme I’m ever settings

Sick of competin with the kids with skinny jeans and jeggins

All of my life I tried to write the creative blessing

But it seems God ain’t respondin to my endless textin

It’s okay though, I’m a warrior with my daddy’s spirit

I spit with the intensity, so my daddy’ll hear it

Splittin image and inherited the hustle spirit

(?) coins still collectin, ain’t quite cleared it

The bank account is WeightWatcher, refuse to get chunky

As a result I don’t waste my words to promote my money

I ain’t got it, put all my focus into my project

Heart and soul, fuck goin gold, but would like a profit

Take a penny, leave a penny, call it exposition

Hollywood dreamin off my little bitty composition

I write with the Passion of Christ, I’m nice on my Gibson

Trust and believe in myself when no one else didn’t

It’s been a lotta years, man I came a long way

I close my eyes and feel those days when the song plays

Been up in the hallway, damn I went the wrong way

I was on a mission, wouldn’t listen to what moms say

Fuck it, why would he?

In the streets I would (?)

Where if you speak to me wrong you would get beat till you’re bloody

Now your speakers are bumpy cause when when my sneakers are cruddy

I had this unkillable dream of maybe reachin somebody

My features like my father but with different creatures, I’m ugly

And (?) the dark secrets of the creeps and the druggies

My therapist says I’m reachin for people to love me

But my spirit’s full of feelings, so fuck a therapist

And my heir is just coming of age

I remember bein with Dre and Daniel spittin hungry young on the stage

I wrote these lyrics cause I had somethin I wanted to say

I thank the Lord that I’m honored this way
