No Time

[VERSE ONE: ABDOMINAL]



Alarm set for 6 like it is everyday

Wake up, then hit snooze all the way to 8

Like I also do everyday

Cuz every night I stay up to late

Doing the things I should've been doing at 6

A vicious cycle that I can't seem to fix

Anyway, finally get up at 8

Eat some food, wash the plate

Brush the teeth and put the sneakers on

To keep the fitness up as the years keep creeping on

Do my little jog, get home I gotta take out the dog

Bring the dog back, feed the dog

Stretch my legs, hit the bomb

To have a shower to throw on some sweats

Rest of the day is set aside for writing or so I expect

Until I open the laptop, 15 e-mails in the inbox

All pressing, gotta reply, no choice

But to push the waiting aside

Clear the inbox, check the watch

God damn, it's already two o' clock!

And I haven't even written a bar

But before that, I need lunch man, I'm starved!



[Chorus]

This song's late, I need to compose rhymes

And in this to-do list there's no sign

Stressing, pass a glass of Bordeaux wine

Got a mountain of work, gonna be a slow climb



[VERSE TWO: ABDOMINAL]

For lunch, man I really want these chicken fingers

But I gotta watch my girlish figure as I age

Metabolism not the same

Plus I gotta live up to my name

Cuz MC Flabs just ain't gonna cut it

So I take the cucumber, but I let the crisper cut it

Drop the carrots, slice the tomato

Thinking a nice, fresh salad is the way to go

But of course that requires prep time

A side effect, of which means less rhymes

At the end of the day, but still it's gotta be done

Already some time after 3, following lunch

Time to write to these loops

Hit the couch, eyelids start to droop

I have a quick nap, 15 mags then kick these slick raps

I woke up by my phone ringing, it's freaking 5:30

It's my girl, and she finished work and heading home

She's starving for dinner and so I guess these poems

Will have to wait til after that

Spend some quality time with her, then craft these raps

But perfectly draft a plan, man where did these albums go....



[Chorus]

This song's late, I need to compose rhymes

And in this to-do list there's no sign

Stressing, pass a glass of Bordeaux wine

Got a mountain of work, gonna be a slow climb



[VERSE THREE: ABDOMINAL]

Dinner done, light outside

Out of minimum, due to the winter sun's daily limited run

It descended and sunk ages ago

Only to be replaced by moon rays on the snow

It's achingly cold, but my dog plainly showing

To be strained to be hold, an impending accident

So I rapidly fasten my jacket and grab some mitts

Take him out to do his business

Soon as he's finished, trust straight lyrical fitness

Get home, give him biscuits, pick up my pen

But just then my missus says, "Let's watch a funny show"

She's upset from some stress of the day

And so, I wanna support her

So we cuddle up and binge watch Bob's Burgers

She's dozing after 3 as I sneak out slowly

So quiet be kept, now for some quality Abs time

Light the incense, bout to write some made lines

Reopen the laptop, 15 replies to the replies

I replied with back at the top of the day

There go the rhymes, I wanna write it but there's no time



[Chorus]

This song's late, I need to compose rhymes

And in this to-do list there's no sign

Stressing, pass a glass of Bordeaux wine

Got a mountain of work, gonna be a slow climb
