Time Is On My Side - Papoose

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

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

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)

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

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)
