Hands of Time Songtext
von Tinchy Stryder

Yeah, and it all starts off when you realise that
This life′ing thing, you can't get what you lost back
Tryna turn them hands on the clock back
Why it just don′t work like that
See, when you know you lost something special
And you look to the skies and everyday we look so bright
You still can't see light and you're asking for someone to bless you
I can′t explain how I feel through tears
So I stay strong and I put it in words
I scribble down every bit, every detail
Oh now look fam, I got another verse
Much more deeper than rhyming lines
Tryna be easy, I′m taking time
But I got bad thoughts playing on my mind
Still wish I could turn back the hands of time

Feels like I'm racing, there′s no finish line
Ain't no turning back the hands of time
Praying, hoping that I′ll be just fine
'Cos I know it′s best I got my own mind


Yeah, and it all starts off when you got a little princess
And you realise you got it all wrapped up
So you start doing??? on the roadside
Linking a next ting, treading on thin ice
But bit by bit she's clocking
She's got spies on a low key watching
Then before you know it it′s over
She′s like "I'm leaving, I′ll see you in the future"
Next time round don't be chancing around
′Cos nowadays nobody there when you're lonely
Now you′re stuck right there on your lonelys
So who you gonna ring when you're down
You're really hoping to start from scratch
Wanting something you can′t have back
See, see that′s when you realise that
Time goes on, it ain't turning back

Feels like I′m racing, there's no finish line
Ain′t no turning back the hands of time
Praying, hoping that I'll be just fine
′Cos I know it's best I got my own mind


Yeah, and it all starts off from one little madness
Now mandem are crazy hype
Youngers are leading some crazy lives
Rolling around with some crazy knives
Blazing blunts when they getting high
And the meers rolled up with the blink of an eye
Then, then before you know it it's over
Ah nah, not another fallen solider
Just like that, another life cut short
Friends all speechless, Mums distraught
Wishing that it was all one dream
Hoping to wake up and hear him talk
Hoping to get up and hear his voice
But he ain′t coming back, he′s gone with the angels
Now you're there shedding tears for your boy
But that I ain′t gonna bring him back from the angels

They say I'm dreaming
But I don′t believe though you're far away
I know you′ll return to me one day
Nothing is forever
And losing time, time
Only makes us stronger

Feels like I'm racing, there's no finish line
Ain′t no turning back the hands of time
Praying, hoping that I′ll be just fine
'Cos I know it′s best I got my own mind

Feels like I'm racing, there′s no finish line
Ain't no turning back the hands of time
Praying, hoping that I′ll be just fine
'Cos I know it's best I got my own mind
