Passing Tha Time Songtext
von Wise Intelligent

Until once again
Your eyes look into mine
Now all of life is just passing the time
Until once again
Your eyes look into mine

Since only as first grade, I knew that you always had me
The only kid with braids, the other kids were laughing at me
I looked you right in your eyes, you looked me back into mine
You held me close, you wiped my tears and told me it′ll be fine
My brothers and sisters, nine, we suffered through perilous times
But you kept giving the love while
Some of us turned to drugs and crime
We moved from ghetto to ghetto, struggling from hood to hood

Don't mention the bills you had to make
Meals from like whatever you could
Remember the days of eating mayonnaise and Wonder Bread


Wondering if daddy′s dead or simply where the nigga at
I blame my father for leaving you stuck with ten seeds to raise
Somewhere near the early age, a father nigga had learned to hate
So ever since the day you left, I fell out of love with writing
Life no longer seems exciting, guess we wasn't supposed to win
Now all of my life is just a matter of passing time
Until the day that your eyes are looking back into mine

Now all of life is just passing the time
Until once again
Your eyes look into mine

Remember my first charge? I think it was B and E

We robbed three corner stores, I think it was me, Refinement, and P

You told us damn near daily, "Don't run with the likes of Refinement"
We used to say you crazy ′cause we were in need of refinement
My physical P has lived the best years of his life in prison
Refinement′s paralyzed, I'm living off some shit I′ve written
I guess the message to ghetto youth from Jersey youth in Compton
Is honor your mother and father so that your days will be longer


Don't wait ′til they're here no longer
To tell ′em you love 'em and mean it
Don't wait to regret the lost time, believe me, you′ll never redeem it
Now all that I have is pictures, her words to me and my siblings
"One day I′m not gonna be here," see, I refuse to believe it
Ever since the day she left, I fell out of love with writing
Life no longer seems exciting, guess we wasn't supposed to win
Now all of my life is just a matter of passing time
Until the day that your eyes are looking back into mine

Now all of life is just passing the time
Until once again
Your eyes look into mine

Today as I look at my seed, I′m driven to put these thoughts to pen
Until the day that your motherly eyes look into mine again
I fell in a world of sin, so short of the glory of God
So short of the glory of mom, and this is the story of why's
What took so long to come with a record
Me clearing my heart and my mind out?
Don′t like to put any old rhymes out
Hip-hop is still art to some folk
Fell back in the habit of twisting
The cap on a bottle of Blackberry Hun

Increased my levels in search of a love that can salvage a wounded son
I'm not an emotional MC, my heart, it moves my sleeve
It′s hard for me to believe that I've discovered a moment to grieve
I'm not the victim, I witnessed love turned against itself
Mission retrieved itself and laid the wealth aside your grave
Ever since the day you passed, I fell out of love with writing
Life no longer seems exciting, guess we wasn′t supposed to win

Now all my life is just a matter of passing time
Until the day that your eyes are looking back into mine

Now all of life is just passing the time
Until once again
Your eyes look into mine
Now all of life is just passing the time
Until once again
Your eyes look into mine
