Lyrrrric of the Day, because I like to do this. The Roots: "Clock With No Hands"...

[Verse 2]

I'm like Malcolm, out the window with the weapon out
Searching for somehow to find a minute or a second now
Precious time is money, that I ain't got to mess about
Need it from the horse's mouth or from my eyewitness account.
Lessons with my back to the wall, scoping my session out
Stay a little edgy at times when I ain't stressing bout
Haters don't know shit about me, they're the ones that talk shit
Those that love me set that out, so I ain't got to force quit
'Cause I'm doing better now don't mean I never lost shit
I was married to a state of mind and I divorced it, man
I'm from where brothers moving product from the porches
People locking their doors, clutching to their crosses
The block hot by the law, there ain't too many choices
So what I do is for y'all, there ain't too many voices left
I watch my back, and watch my step
And I might forgive, but I will not forget

[Hook]

People think that I'm crazy, just cause I wanna be alone
You can't depend on friends to help you in a squeeze
We all deal with shit on our own
Sometimes the beef can grow and get out of hand
Yeah, you know it gets full blown
I never said that you mean the world to me
Maybe it's best that you never know

[Verse 3]

Living in turbulent times
The blind leading the blind
Some call it evolution, some say intelligent design
You say you want a revolution, you out of your mizind
Your son's destitute, with his Pops all in the prison
My man's back in a jam, he's like the back of my hand
He's just attracted to scam, he's right back in the can
I'm never sleepwalking, you dig
You get your shuteye
I'm on the first thing in, I'm leaving on the red-eye
My brother's back in rehab, just had another relapse
But in himself it's like he's been fighting his inner jihad
Half telling me nobody's true when they pretend to be that
So closer than friends, that's where I keep my enemies at
To many parties concerned, it's time to live it and learn
Until we're able to grow, forever bridges we'll burn
My thoughts free as a bird, that's just about to emerge
And every action is heard, it speaks louder than words...
