Time Keeps Running On

You're bitter and you're tired
And your feet are held to the fire
Day becomes the night
And you dare not go down without a fight
When waking life overstays its welcome
And all the seats are taken in the smoking section
You can count the seconds between contractions
But you'll never find a better time than now to chain a reaction
Can't shake the feelings that shake you
Can't break the habits that break you
But you can fix it in about a day
Can't fake the funk when it dunks you
Can't bust a slump when it jumps you
Just stop the clock and change the play
Time keeps running on
Time keeps running on

Should I take a chance on playing it safe?
If I jump the shark, what's the worst case?
These upside-down outlets are upside-down faces
When the ground is on top, remember to say this:
Baby you got this, baby you got this
Baby you got this, stand up and rock this
Baby you got this, baby you got this
Baby you got this, don't ever stop this
You can wash away a layer of shame
If you strut that butt and step up your game
When you're feeling alone, you're feeling alive
So when those good times turn to bad times, sing this to survive:
Baby you got this, baby you got this
Baby you got this, stand up and rock this
Baby you got this, baby you got this
Baby you got this, don't ever stop this

Night Talk 2

This call from outer space is tying up the line
There's so much left to say before calling it a night
The telephone is ringing, the mailbox is full
The power lines are singing, it's time to start the show
Ignore those satellites
Polish off those Miller Lites
Turn on your headlights
We're going for a drive
The conversation's turning
The pit of your stomach's burning
None of it's too concerning
It's night talk, night talk
And while the tide is turning
The heart of your city's burning
None of it's too concerning
It's night talk, night talk
The party line's expensive
The nukes are underground
The cheater box is flashing
The tapes went back rewound
Ignore those satellites
Polish off those Miller Lites
Turn on your headlights
We're going for a drive
The conversation's turning
The pit of your stomach's burning
None of it's too concerning
It's night talk, night talk
And while the tide is turning
The heart of your city's burning
None of it's too concerning
It's night talk, night talk, night talk
The conversation's turning
The pit of your stomach's burning
None of it's too concerning
It's night talk, night talk
And while the tide is turning
The heart of your city's burning
None of it's too concerning
It's night talk, night talk, night talk...

This time we've got to take control
This time we've got it all
End times is the picture we're painting
When our hearts are breaking
They say love is the greatest gift
And your touch is the kiss I'm missing
Flyby feelings
You gotta cool your jets for me but honey in the meantime
Don't stop momentum behind you
Slow down, check the radar beside you
Nail down the parts that define you
'Til then we're hammered by these
Flyby feelings
You gotta cool your jets for me but honey in the meantime
Last year was wild, man, and that's for sure
This year's been such a blur
We're well past these days we've been fearing
That's what I'm hearing
It's the sound of the barriers breaking down
It will take your breath away
Flyby feelings
You gotta cool your jets for me but honey in the meantime
Don't stop momentum behind you
Slow down, check the radar beside you
Nail down the parts that define you
'Til then we're hammered by these
Flyby feelings
You gotta cool your jets for me but honey in the meantime
See that
Believe that
Don't tease that
Oh baby, what a sight to see
See that
Believe that
Don't tease that
Oh baby, what a sight to see

Once upon a time in Sneaky Falls
There was a little shrimp who wanted it all
But did he really need that?
He sure as hell believed that
He dreamt about a life of fortune and fame
Happiness and riches were one and the same
Years later at his desk job
He was feeling just a bit robbed
He said:
"Fuck this working 9 to 5
The more I punch this fucking clock the less I feel alive"
So he made a phone call to his partner in crime
Beef said:
"That's just straight up the breakdown of this life
You suck it up and lighten up this shakedown to survive
'Cause straight shrimpin', it don't pay the bills"
Time tells a different story
When the plot twist hits, you'll figure it out
Everybody loves a happy ending
And if you can't get with that man
Just get the fuck out
Once upon a time in Border City
A little shrimp starts searching for sounds so gritty
Wherever could he find them?
Who else wouldn't mind them?
He found himself a world of sweet escape
When popping in a fateful Art of Noise tape
Years later at his day gig
He was feeling pretty jaded
He said:
"Fuck this working for these guys
They haven't had a good idea ever in their lives
And this waste of my time is such a goddamned crime!"
That's just straight up the breakdown of this life
You suck it up and lighten up this shakedown to survive
'Cause straight shrimpin', it don't pay the bills
Time tells a different story
When the plot twist hits, we'll figure it out
Everybody loves a happy ending
And if you can't get with that man
Just get the fuck out

When the Shrimps step on the scene
We're the brothers that reign supreme
Jackie Paper can you see what I mean?
Jackie Paper can you see what I mean?
When the Shrimps step on the scene
We're the brothers that reign supreme
Jackie Paper can you see what I mean?
Jackie Paper can you see what I mean?
Ten tons of funk inside the trunk
Don't need cash money, you can pay at the pump
Gotta hit it, see you in a minute
We're about to get all up in it
These sassy seconds tick the times of our lives
It's time to take the stage
We'll take your breath away
When the Shrimps step on the scene
We're the brothers that reign supreme
Jackie Paper can you see what I mean?
Jackie Paper can you see what I mean?
When the Shrimps step on the scene
We're the brothers that reign supreme
Jackie Paper can you see what I mean?
Jackie Paper can you see what I mean?
It's a Shrimps and Free collaboration ooh we 'bout to get it
Take you back to '98 when I was in the Civic
A 1980's baby, I'm about to roll a Philly
I was brought up by some gangstas but was born to be a hippie
Step up on the scene, you can tell we put in work
Universal fire like a human solar burst
It's time, hoping that the underdog can finally get some shine
And maybe we can all chill out and get a piece of mind
Body and soul, always independent gotta go for what you know
Taking simple steps towards your own personal growth
I'ma sprinkle you with game and still spit it dope
Living in my purpose, connecting your heart and mind
Holding up a mirror, remind you of your shine
Trying to be the change when I craft every line
Money can buy a lot but it can't buy time
And in this life, you can't decide what you're taking
And in this life, you can't decide what you're breaking
It's time to take the stage
We'll take your breath away
When the Shrimps step on the scene
We're the brothers that reign supreme
Jackie Paper can you see what I mean?
Jackie Paper can you see what I mean?
When the Shrimps step on the scene
We're the brothers that reign supreme
Jackie Paper can you see what I mean?
Jackie Paper can you see what I mean?

Thoughts Across the City
06:20

I've been holed up in this basement so long
Another hold up, no one twisting my arm
Don't come down just yet
I've been waiting for this jam for so long
I was dreaming, didn't hear my alarm
Don't wake me just yet
Thoughts across the city
Thoughts across the city
Thoughts across the city
Thoughts across the city
Now I've wasted all this time on my own
Memories faded by the safety of home
Who's to say what's safe?
Hold up, something's feeling off
A flood of fuzzy thoughts
And the shock sets in
Thoughts across the city
Thoughts across the city
Thoughts across the city
Thoughts across the city

Baby U (Still) Got This

Now a year's gone by and the world is the same
It's just a different view that you're choosing to frame
You dodged the bullet but the old wounds remain
You just can't ignore this burden of pain
Baby you got this, baby you got this
Baby you got this, don't ever stop this
Baby you got this, baby you got this
Baby you got this, stand up and rock this
Though your head's in the clouds, one foot's in the grave
Feeling better than ever though there's so much at stake
You've got a scarlet letter, you've got it made
"And we still can't make out," the look on your face
Baby you got this, baby you got this
Baby you got this, don't ever stop this
Baby you got this, baby you got this
Baby you got this, stand up and rock this
