TIME

Time is of the essence time is running out! I gotta tell somebody, I gotta shout.

So What u  gonna do, can you make a difference or try to change the world? Or will u just smoke your life away in a tightly rolled L? Some folks waist a lot of time doin nothing at all, except trying to figure out how they took that last fall. Living life through  reminiscing, complacently settled  in a sad state of regret and  “I wish” or “I used to have”. Keep movin forward, get out of the past. The clock is tickin, time is movin on. One day you’ll look up and all the time will be gone.

Now comes the time that you’re down to your last dime. The change in your pocket  aint adding up, and the light bill just got your last 50 bucks, and let them tell it, that still aint enough. All you want is a little peace of mind, which appears to be the last thing you seem to have time to find. But as time has shown, you will make it through if you just continue to believe in you.

How many brothers you know that’s locked up for being in the wrong place at the wrong time? Now they’re “doin time”. The sayin goes “time flies when you're havin fun”, but this don't apply to the nigga caught with the gun. For guys like this, time stands still as they serve their time year after year. They’ll lock you up and take you down...take a look around where your homies at now? So many  get caught up time and time again, after taking the advice of so called friends.

Oh my, my, my,! Take a  look at  how fast time flew by. Friends and lovers have come and gone, but you’re a solider still standing strong. Life has taught you some valuable lessons. Live life to the fullest and pass on this message...time is of the essence, time is running out...no more spending time, doing time, wasting time, on self doubt.

Many thoughtful lines here. I'm impressed. Even though you speak of "brothers doing time" I think that can apply to others, not just brothers. Also, theres more than one kind of prison for "doing time." // Time is of the essence; time is running out. Or as Bob Dylan put it: "The sound of a wave thar roared out a warning." // You made me think. You made me feel. You even scared me a bit, but you motivated me too. // Excellent. // An obvious 10.
