Le' Temps

The clock of life ticks down
Thinking about making money keeps people alive
Maybe one day my grandkids will tell me
How good your rhymes sound over those old beats
I’m not and won’t be honest, I keep a bit of a lie
The weight of my conscience takes up space in my backpack
Lacking intelligence, instinct takes the lead
Is that a bird up in the sky? Nah, it’s my grandpa watching over me

They ask my name, I said okay
T-A-L-N-O-CAT-SIONEL
They ask my name, I said okay
T-A-L-N-O-CAT-SIONEL
They ask my name, I said okay
T-A-L-N-O-CAT-SIONEL
They ask my name, I said okay
T-A-L-N-O-CAT-SIONEL

Time moves slow but speeds up if you pay attention
I don’t know how many hundreds of feelings one holds inside
I don’t bother to prove that I’m not happy at all
Crazy, bad, stubborn, serious, I’m an occasional talent
Back to our thing
It’s hard to be honest

And to recognize you’re nothing like the rest
And see how they go crazy trying to be in first place
I get that my ideas don’t fit in their brains
I, they waste their time
I don’t pay attention to the fakes

Stay focused and think cool to avoid being betrayed
Your accent and your beat, smart kid, I’ve heard it before
And the truth is yours sounds like a poorly told joke
It’s not my fault if you feel a bit identified
But this is about having the tempo controlled
Step aside

They ask my name, I said okay
T-A-L-N-O-CAT-SIONEL
They ask my name, I said okay
T-A-L-N-O-CAT-SIONEL
They ask my name, I said okay
T-A-L-N-O-CAT-SIONEL
They ask my name, I said okay
T-A-L-N-O-CAT-SIONEL
