PART I: TIME
[Chorus: Hector Smith]
Too tired and I just can't stop it
There's no time for the things I wanted
So I try to fulfil my calling, but
I'm broke, need some money in my pocket
All these things I feel inside
They really start to mess with my mind
I guess we all need more time
Time, time, time
[Verse 1: Oscar Smith]
It's not a surprise, I'm losing my mind
And honestly i don't know why
I struggle to find, the one in my life
The one that will be by my side
Cause every time I look in her eyes
I keep on just seeing the lies
I'm tryna survivе, so I sympathise, but everytimе
She doing all This, she doing all That
I'm starting to miss the thing that we had
I know I got time to sit & relax
But I don't why I keep coming back
Cause I know a girl that's better than that
She light up my world as a matter of fact
If she find a man, I'm happy with that
Cause now I got time to leave in the past
I hope it'll last
[Chorus: Hector Smith]
Too tired and I just can't stop it
There's no time for the things I wanted
So I try to fulfil my calling, but
I'm broke, need some money in my pocket
All these things I feel inside
They really start to mess with my mind
I guess we all need more time
Time, time, time
[Verse 2: Oscar Smith]
Dream chasing
So many people be dream chasing
Trying to win but they lose patience
All of the hate that they been facing
Got em so… complacent
Falling away to the temptation
All that they need is a vacation
Now its too late and they won't make it
But if they do
They sacrificed every hour to make it on through
And everyday, they gave it away
To focus on making they dreams come true
Got something to prove
But i don't want all of these plaques
A million racks, If time was to fast forward
I would give it all back
To spend all my time with people I care for
[Chorus: Hector Smith]
Too tired and I just can't stop it
There's no time for the things I wanted
So I try to fulfil my calling, but
I'm broke, need some money in my pocket
All these things I feel inside
They really start to mess with my mind
I guess we all need more time
Time, time, time
PART II: TRAUMA
[Chorus: Oscar Smith & Martha Daphne Rose]
So I gotta get away from, gotta get away from the signs
This trauma in my face
Got me feeling like it's more than I can take
So I gotta make a way for, gotta make a way for my life
But this trauma in my face
Got me feeling like i'm more than bound to break
[Verse 1: Oscar Smith]
Flashbacks of younger me in different a time
So confused at the world around me, It's all a lie
People talking, I need somebody to clarify
All the time
Losing my family cause they be cutting ties
Burning bridges with no loving attached
All this pain, learning how to adapt
And i've been focused on the game, so I'm missing the fact
That all my people full of hate when they seem to attack
And I'm so sick of the stressing
Sick of these lessons, causing a mess and I'm just
Tryna figure out how to step in to all my blessings
Got me thinking of a million questions, that keep me guessing
While I'm sitting in these studio sessions, counting the seconds
Thinking man I really miss my Brother, I miss my Sister
& I know that they both miss my Mother
So I'm confused at why my Auntie doesn't call her Brother
And Dad I know you feel alone, so you should call eachother
You only got eachother, yeah
[Chorus: Oscar Smith & Martha Daphne Rose]
So I gotta get away from, gotta get away from the signs
This trauma in my face
Got me feeling like it's more than I can take
So I gotta make a way for, gotta make a way for my life
But this trauma in my face
Got me feeling like i'm more than bound to break
[Verse 2: Oscar Smith]
New decisions
I've been questioning myself on what's my true religion
Don't get me wrong, I really love to say I am a Christian
But many Christians acting up and making me feel different
Like really what do you stand for?
Is it there another way to convey what you plans are?
Cause I know the Bible say to show love to your neighbour
So why do you love to hate and complain bout another race
And throw dirt on your brothers name, then go praise the creator
(What?)
See people got it twisted
It got me questioning the wrong and what's the right decision
Cause Jesus never hate a soul, no matter how they living
But people take it upon themselves to tell the world to listen
And this trauma building heavy, man it start to take a toll
Some brothers wanna snake me, take a chunk out of my soul
I had to take a flight, I'm tryna find a better home
I'm praying that it helped but man I'll really never know (Woah)
[Chorus: Oscar Smith & Martha Daphne Rose]
So I gotta get away from, gotta get away from the signs
This trauma in my face
Got me feeling like it's more than I can take
So I gotta make a way for, gotta make a way for my life
But this trauma in my face
Got me feeling like I'm more than bound to break
