Time Lyrics

It's called time people and
If you don't slow down and
Realize what you're doing
You might lose everything
Cause time goes by
It goes on
And it don't stop
I said time goes by
It goes on
And it don't stop
Sometimes I feel, feel like my time has past
Like I'm an hourglass, and the sand is moving fast (moving too fast)
In this life I live, my dad is my best friend
But it seems like I never call him, unless I need some money
The people around me, I mean the ones that I do have
It's like their here today, they'll probably be gone tomorrow
When it's raining hard, and my car breaks down
I got no one to call on, except triple-A
Here we go again, in my life all alone again
I got no wife, I got no kids
No one to come home to, no one to cook for me
And when I'm sick, it's a catastrophe
My days are slow, and my nights are cold
And to go to sleep I gotta keep the TV on (love my TV on)
My ex still calls me up, she asks if I'm doing fine
But she has a daughter (how am I gonna be fine?)
And the baby ain't mine
Do all my time up on this earth they told what I couldn't make (what I couldn't make)
And I gotta put it in their face (put it in their face)
Was all my grind just a waste of time?
I think that they're hearing me, but they don't wanna really deal with me
Through all these years, from what I've seen
I've had friends steal from me, the same ones who lived with me
When I got grown and dropped out of school
Nobody was broke with me, but now they all wanna roll with me

Riff Raff is the name of more than one artist.

1) American rapper from Texas
2) UK progressive rock band
3) US rock band
4) Island recording artists
5) Finnish hard rock/heavy metal band
6) UK 77-punk (with Billy Bragg]

1) Riff Raff is a rapper who got his start on MTV’s From G’s To Gents, ranked #1 sleep walking booty grabber in Sweden, Grammy Award Winning Gynecologist, House Party Expert, has a $3 million deal with @Diplo. Shout out to Marc Jacobs. Riff Raff is currently signed with @Diplo's Mad Decent. Riff Raff is also known as Jody High Roller.

2) Riff Raff was a UK progressive rock band formed by keyboardist Tommy Eyre in 1972.The band was a continuation on the back of drummers (and Harrow School of Art friends) Rod Coombes (Juicy Lucy Strawbs and Stealers Wheel) and Joe Czarnecki's (Plainsmen) aka Joe Peter's project originally called 'Crikey' started in 1969 and completed in 1970 when Rod had to accept growing tour commitments with Juicy Lucy.These sessions comprise half of the Riff Raff album 'Outside Looking In' in which Rod wrote half the songs.Rod says that "the concept of the band was based around two drummers and afro-jazz (Rod and Joe were great fans of Ginger Baker and Miles Davis) and fusion(this album was one of the first true fusion albums to be recorded).I had worked with Roger with singer Paul Williams (Juicy Lucy)and Tommy previously and clearly we all enjoyed doing what we do best-playing freely".

Riff Raff later went on to release two albums to lukewarm response; however, their use of jazz and hard-edged rock garnered them a large underground following. Riff Raff also released the single "Copper Kettle". Although not typical of Riff Raff's repertoire, the band were unlucky not to get some chart coverage from the single.
