Hour Glass

[Intro: Diana King]

Sha la la leng

Sha la la leng

Cyaa hold wi tongue

Cuz wi no longer young

Sha la la leng

Sha la la leng

Cyaa shut wi mouth

Cuz time a run out

Sha la la leng

Sha la la leng

Cyaa hold wi tongue

Cuz wi no longer young

Sha la la leng

Sha la la leng

Cyaa shut wi mouth

Cuz time a run out

[Chorus: Diana King]

Won't you hold my hand today

In this world there's so many worries

Lemme get lost in your gaze

No more living my life in a hurry

And in time we all will rise

And love will find a way to last

Have mercy

Uh

Cuz No ones putting sand in the top of our hour glass

[Verse 1: Speech]

It just dawned on me that my dawn is over

Living in the dusk of my life what is there to fuss over

The daughter slaughterеd in the school where thе mother drove her

A mass murderer open fired there can't be closure

This will never be kosher I feel helpless as a voter

I've been yelling gun control but I am not the controller

I can relate to smokers how can anyone be sober

Yet im sober im having problems keeping my composure

And im feeling things so intensely

I'm taking showers but they don't rinse me nah

They say im sensitive that incenses me

On my path I am an empath

With emotional sympathies

Feeling such energies it's stealing my inner peace

Trying to find some release

Pick up the phone baby please

Our time is all that we get

My hourglass has been flipped

Sand is just flowing through it

[Chorus: Diana King]

Won't you hold my hand today yeah

In this world there's so many worries

Lemme get lost in your gaze

No more living my life in a hurry

And in time we all will rise

And love will find a way to last

Uh uh

Cuz no ones putting sand in the top of our hour glass

[Verse 2: Canibus]

The hour glass was cracked, a couple chards missing

The sand was God given but now it's all spilling

Stay in my lane play my part, pray for Gods wisdom

And yeah I still spit dem bars boi, God Willing

Yeah it's all nonsense

Til you wake up to unsanctioned torture, zip tied to an arm rest

Opposable thumb compressed, foam ball when palm flexed

Please try to be still for blood draw next

The cis gender had a mentor a pan sexual offender

Try to furnish an answer but can't remember

Which one of the garments in the closet fit better

Got to be the worst brain fart ever

Salty tears add flavor to the otherwise sweet popcorn

Something we all get mocked for

You like that color, there's more of those in the top drawer

It's look great on your hip-hop soul

[Chorus: Diana King]

Won't you hold my hand today yeah

In this world there's so many worries

Lemme get lost in your gaze

No more living my life in a hurry

The fastest way is slowly

And in time we all will rise

And love will find a way to last

Have mercy

'Cause no ones putting sand in the top of our hour glass

[Verse 3: Skyzoo]

The quote/unquote celebrated rap lad

Who became a legend from celebrating the block and celebrating black dads

All the Milestones I achieved they put a light above

But know it's double the scars whenever you fight for love

The one who spoke of how the corner store look to us

And then who spoke on how the corner store was took from us

All The Brilliant Things that gradually threw you hope

Became the epilogue attached to The Bluest Note

So now picture me, fresh off the stoop

Where my inner me is Branson bags and Leroy Campbell imagery

Juggling this world I know and all it's symmetry

And now side eyeing it with my eyes on my mini-me

Buried in a smile, underneath it I'm Tyson

For everything on the prowl 'cause everything is for Miles

So if ever I bow applause is surrounding that

For raising mine before they raise their hour glass

[Verse 4: Canibus]

Hold my hand it won't be long (believe it)

Don't let go that love grip strong

No more pain no more crying out to God

See you on the other side y'all

Yeah, another I pictorial (yeah)

Some corrective development for all of ya

Ya dig

Vote for Canibus, my rhymes ain't rigged

[Chorus: Diana King]

Won't you hold my hand today

In this world there's so many worries

Lemme get lost in your gaze

No more living my life in a hurry

And in time we all will rise

And love will find a way to last

Uh

'Cause No ones putting sand in the top of our hour glass
