Time Is on My Side

[Intro]
Tell you that I love you tonight
But I know that I've got time on my side
Where you goin', why you leavin' so soon?
Is there somewhere else that's better for you?
Tell you that I love you tonight
But I know that I've got time on my side
Where you goin', why you leavin' so soon?
Is there somewhere else that's better for you?
Papoose, Papoose

[Verse 1]
Maybe I'll get in my ship and just sail, distance myself
Splittin' without even giving farewell
Ain't givin' no visits, ain't sendin' no pictures
You hounds'll probably be sniffin' my smell
Following, using my scent as a trail
This is the story, I'm livin' the tale
Sick of this business, won't beg for forgiveness
With quickness I burn all my bridges and bail
Got brothers and sisters who say they religious
But give me attention just when I prevail
See when you say I'm too big for my britches
You witches is wishin' my mission would fail
Winnin' instead, I sit on my bed
I'm sick in my head, I wish I was well
So lazy to get up, I piss in a pail
So nervous, I bite off the tip of my nails
Top of my game but I ain't been sane
Since back when my missus was driven to jail
Freedom was weighed on the prisoner's scale
Writing me letters, she sit in the cell
Maybe we all should live in a shell
Time would travel as quick as a snail
Maybe our past life, we was all sinnin' relentless
And now we livin' in Hell

[Chorus]
Tell you that I love you tonight (Let me know)
But I know that I've got time on my side (Time is on my side)
Where you goin', why you leavin' so soon? (Why so soon?)
Is there somewhere else that's better for you? (Nowhere, nowhere, uh)
Tell you that I love you tonight (Let me know)
But I know that I've got time on my side (Time is on my side)
Where you goin', why you leavin' so soon? (Why so soon?)
Is there somewhere else that's better for you? (Nowhere, nowhere, uh)

[Verse 2]
They think it was easy, it wasn't at all
Needed a voice, I just wanted a call
Hatin' CO's, they bustin' my balls
Got me so angry I'm punchin' the wall
I was young, man, I had to grow up
In '06 I was about to blow up
Freestylin', tearin' every show up
Started shinin', niggas seen the glow-up
Fifty deep everywhere we showed up
We was violent so it fucked the flow up
You see they true colors when it slow up
I hit rock bottom, homie, it was so rough
Had a big crew but the crew broke up
Guess I was dreamin', wish I never woke up
Thought I had friends but you know what
Now they say they comin' but they never show up
O called me, man, that made fold up
When Strong passed, man, that had me tore up
Swear I wish I wouldn't've picked the phone up
He said, "Pap, they just hit the lil' bro up"
When you feel like you at the bottom, know what?
There ain't nowhere else to go but go up
Had to reinvent myself, sure 'nough
Now the haters sick, they wanna throw up

[Chorus]
Tell you that I love you tonight (Let me know)
But I know that I've got time on my side (Time is on my side)
Where you goin', why you leavin' so soon? (Why so soon?)
Is there somewhere else that's better for you? (Nowhere, nowhere, uh)
Tell you that I love you tonight (Let me know)
But I know that I've got time on my side (Time is on my side)
Where you goin', why you leavin' so soon? (Why so soon?)
Is there somewhere else that's better for you? (Nowhere, nowhere, uh)
