Clockwise

My enemy isn't my enemy me
It's me and who I am supposed to be
Counting all the times, I was writing rhymes
Only to hold down delete
Always counting clocks like I'm father time
Praying that this time I see
How it all be so clockwise
Looking at it thinking how it's so clockwise
Waking up to find out that it's still midnight
Send a message saying hope you're still alright
Oh How it all be so clockwise
Took a couple naps too
It was all in the daytime
Tryna hold back but it's hard to
Forget about space time
Clinging to the past, that all be in vain
We all gotta face time yeah
And it all feels so clockwise
Looking at you
Thinking how it's so clockwise
Feels like I'm staring at your face for like the fifth time
Said I'm staring at your face for like the fifth time
And it all feels so clockwise
so clockwise
You're born to be a bill
That's why we pay for that tuition
Need the education but
It's killing all the gifted
Just sit, be quiet, act like Everything is alright
When kids be dying, they be crying for the whole night
Teachers going through it, we just tell em all to hang tight
Kids killing each other for some change
And hang themselves right
Nothing changes, yet they say it will be alright
How it all be so clockwise
And we all buy into the lies when the truth dies
Tryna find our way through the maze of the worlds eye
I got way to much to say but Imma hang tight
Yo my homie from the Congo thats a French guy
"Gods got us" I told him while we're eating French fries
When you learn about your neighbor you'd be surprised
Coz What you find, it might just redefine your whole life
But we've been taught to think clockwise
World keeps turning, how it all be so clockwise
And Bridges burn, but we learn
That it's clockwise
Really gotta hope that we'll be alright
Because it all be so clockwise
It be so clockwise
And it all feels so clockwise
Lookin at you thinking how it's so clockwise
Feels like I'm staring at your face for like the fifth time
Said I'm staring at your face for like the fifth time
And it all feels so clockwise
And no one knows how many stories untold
Life is short you can't enjoy it if your feet cold
Just gotta make the most of life or so I've been told
So I sit back and watch it unfold
Lost track of time was I looking in your eyes
Sorry if I'm late this time I realise
Time has no meaning so I watch it capsize
Couldn't help if we were taught to think clockwise
