Hourglass

Lyrics

Chorus: We Grains of sand in an hour glass Grains of sand Grains of sand x2 Grains of sand in an hour glass Grains of sand Grains of sand x2 Verse 1: We grains of sand in an hour glass I held ya hand— Felt you slipping way away As the hours pass I remember rhyming For mom & dad I remember falling off & climbing back Get it Failure only come to those that's quitting My development Was contributed by Nas 'It Was Written' & when I have some children I'ma do as my dad did It's the subtle shit that carry on tradition One foot in front of the other Larry on a mission My hunger Got me stalking yo kitchen All in ya fridge & deep freezer Cold nigga Ironic I spit ether The goals to move the fam Somewhеre suffering can't reach us Thе older that I grow That place may be 6 beneath us I ain't you dumb fucks I had some great teachers & if you pay attention I'm sure that you had the same & if I weren't to make it I know the person to blame Me Chorus: We Grains of sand in an hour glass Grains of sand Grains of sand x2 Grains of sand in an hour glass Grains of sand Grains of sand x2 Verse 2: Our time is limited Hope you Got you some benefits Up Out of this life Cuz we May not ever live again Lately I have been distancing My self from nigga shit My discipline is the only thing I'm consistent with Twist up some celery I know you smelling me Can't nobody compare to me I get high for my therapy & on the way down It feel like I'm free falling A second after wisdom could save me I recall it Dawg If you believe in ya self Why you keep stalling It's like you put do not disturb On dreams that keep calling Uh What you afraid of My dawg you is polished You just got it Keep going regardless if you acknowledge You got some nerve You gone let doubt creep in & leave you discourage Or —are you the contagious Name that roam through this earth Forever speak my truth Never mind if y'all hear it This my Earthly disguise Housing a divine spirit
