Spit Syndicate Time Is The Enemy Lyrics

[Bridge: Jimmy Nice]
My mumma told me: "Never believe everything I see
Be all you can be", television show me
How to control everything I do
And neither do you, said there's only now
Only now, only now
But will it hold me down
Hold me down, hold me down
Down?

[Verse 1: Jimmy Nice]
And it goes: "Make money, money
Take money, money, money"
When I make believe you can't take nothing from me
Heavy traffic one lane, no one to vote for
Pollies in the podium be feeding the folklore
Man overboard kissed the ocean floor
For trying to navigate the thoughts of a man too deep
Dishonesty overall we down by law, if you're not
Cut you off like the hand of a thief
I see a businessman in a suit and tie
Anybody selling second chances 'round here?
Diamonds on his finger like Lucy in The Sky
Told me "nothing is forever, boy, lend my your ear
Let me make this clear
Before I get out of your hair
Time is the enemy, he don't play fair, I swear
Time is the enemy, he don't play fair"

[Chorus: Jimmy Nice]
Ay ay ay-ay-ay
Ay ay ay-ay-ay (C'mon, you gotta know how to play)
Ay ay ay-ay-ay
Ay ay ay-ay-ay (Uh, c'mon, you gotta know how to play)
Ay ay ay-ay-ay
Ay ay ay-ay-ay (Uh, c'mon, you gotta know how to play)
Ay ay ay-ay-ay
Ay ay ay-ay-ay (Time is the enemy he don't play fair)

(And everybody is)
(Running round town spending time like it's counterfeit) Yeah, uh
(And everybody-body is)
(Running round town spending time like it's counterfeit)

[Verse 2: Nick Lupi]
Come follow me now, let me take you higher
We 'gon take you inside again, the brain wired
Watching another day go by
Trying to make deadlines or wait to be inspired
Uh, see lately, I been going through it
Body feel tired, but my mind ain't close to it
Nah, you see I used to blow smoke to it
But that just makes it worse, nah that won't do it
It's like that shit don't soothe me no more
Maybe this life don't move me no more
Mates say they can't get through to me anymore
Look, I ain't the same old Lupi from before
I was taught time is the enemy
I wonder when I'm gone if anyone will remember me
What I neglect to see:
We all fade eventually, homie best believe

[Chorus: Jimmy Nice]
Ay ay ay-ay-ay
Ay ay ay-ay-ay (Uh, c'mon, you gotta know how to play)
Ay ay ay-ay-ay
Ay ay ay-ay-ay (Uh, c'mon, you gotta know how to play)
Ay ay ay-ay-ay
Ay ay ay-ay-ay (Uh, c'mon, you gotta know how to play)
Ay ay ay-ay-ay
Ay ay ay-ay-ay (Time is the enemy he don't play fair)

[Bridge: Jimmy Nice]
My mumma told me: "Never believe everything I see
Be all you can be", television show me
How to control everything I do
And neither do you, said there's only now
Only now, only now
But will it hold me down
Hold me down, hold me down
Down?
