Tinchy Stryder
Hands Of Time
[Verse 1]
And it all starts off when you realize that
This life ain't fair, you can't get what you lost back
This life ain't fair, you can't get what you lost back
Tryna turn them hands on the clock back
But it just don't work like that
See, when you know you lost something special
And you look to the skies
And even though it will look so bright
You still can't see light
And your asking for someone to bless you
I can't explain how I feel through tears
So I stay strong and I pour it in words
I scribble down every bit, every detail
Oh now look fam, I got another verse
Much more deeper than rhyming lines
Tryna be easy, I'm taking time
Bruh I've got mad feels, pain in my mind
I still wish I could turn back the hands of time

[Hook]
Feels just like I'm racing, there's no finish line
Ain't no turning back the hands of time
Praying, hoping that I'll be as fine
Cause I know what's best, I got my own mind
[Verse 2]
And it all starts off when you've got a little princess
And you realize you got her all wrapped up
So you start doing [?] on the roadside
Linking the next thing, treading on thin ice
But bit by bit she's clocking
She's got spies on the low-key watching
Then before you know it, it's over
She's like "I'm leaving, I'll see you in the future"
Next time I don't be chancing around
Now there's nobody there when you're lonely
Now your stuck right there on you're lonelys
So who you gonna ring when you're down
Really hoping to start from scratch
Wanting something, you can't have that
See, see that's when you realize that
Time goes and it ain't turning back

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
And it all starts off from one little madness
Now mandem are crazy hype
Youngers are leading some crazy life
Rolling around with some crazy knives
Blazing blunts all day getting high
And the [?] rolled up in a blink of an eye
Then before you know it it's over
Aw nah, not another falling soldier
And just like that, another life cut short
Friends all speechless, mum's distraught
Wishing that it was all one dream
Hoping to wake up and hear him talk
Hoping to get up and hear his voice
But he ain't coming back, he's gone with the angels
Now you're there shedding tears for your boy
But that ain't gonna bring him back from the angels
[Bridge]
They say I'm dreaming
But I don't believe no, you're far away
I know you'll return to me one day, nothing is forever
And losing time, time only makes us stronger

[Hook (x2)]
