The Now Songtext
von Chimpo

Okay, let me just get into it
I remember better days back when time was infinite
Everything was intimate, little thought up into it
We was waiting on it, never knew that we was living it
Mad the memories that we created
Time that was the greatest back when we was tryna waste it
Now they can′t make enough minutes in the day
So I'm trying to embrace it and not let it slip away

The clock ticks, the seasons change
It′s nothing new but nothing will ever be the same
Arrivederci, auf wiedersehen
I've seen a lot that I won't ever see again
Could be a shame, could be a blessing
I′ve been through pain and I′ve heeded the lessons
I been messing up my shit when I needed direction
Now I'm progressing, I just need a bit of decompression
So breathe in, respirate


Breathe out, meditate
The pressures of time can make us meditate
Trying not to stress on tomorrow and forget yesterday
But all we really got is the now
Could be talking ′bout tomorrow and get shot in the mouth
Could get lost in the nostalgia, forget what it's about
And just think the past was better ′cause you've not been about

So don′t get bitter, get better
Get rich, get cheddar
Get lit, get leather
Get big, get busy
Get out of your bed
Clock's ticking, so get out of your depths, over your head

'Cause time waits for no man
We waste time waiting, it′s the way we′re programmed
Just make sure you know what to play for
'Cause you′re planning to fail if you ain't got no plan

The night falls, the day′s done
Maybe tomorrow we can make a great one

Or we can just stay up and get it popping
Different avenues we could cruise, check the options
They say that time is money, that's daft
I could spend my last penny and still bill it back, facts
You can buy with it whatever you get in your mind
So just watch how you′re spending your time


Yeah, why stress when I'm blessed?
I dive into sess, anxiety on my chest
Too much time to second guess
My eyes wide as a ride high, looking to boost
Lick a fruit in meditation, wash it down with the juice

Came through with the deuce deuce, letting off raps
Self-sufficient nowadays by giving life to a track
You start to sleep, so when you're crossing me
I got what you need, time, tea, a lot of tree

Days pass as the present turns past
Thinking ′bout the days ahead, how I′m 'bout to get this bread
Instead of living in the now, mm, we all guilty
Yeah, but same times, plans and preparation built me
I′m ageing like fine wine, the pine divine time
The days be like "Hi, bye", so I stay behind
Give us our flowers while we alive, the music will never die
We shine, still appreciating time
Finding pockets to pick, poetry, I don't stick
To any rule in my rap, Groundhog Day been a trap

Wanna live our whole life, destiny by my side
Deciding which way to go, we elevate and we grow

We elevate when we roll, time don′t wait but it's slow
Sometimes I gotta stop, autopilot says "Go"
Yeah, mm, so take control, mm
′Cause time waits for no man

Time ain't waiting for me
Cutting my weight for nobody
Glass up all my energies, yeah
Now I flock for the memories, yeah
Me haffi search for some clarity

Me haffi search for the remedy
Me say me haffi search for some clarity
Me haffi search for the remedy
'Cause time ain′t waiting for me (Time ain′t waiting for me)
Time ain't waiting for me (Time ain′t waiting for me)
'Cause time ain′t waiting for me (Time ain't waiting for me)
You gotta know, know, know, know, know, know, know
