Slip Lyrics

For years I’ve been looking at my life like it’s two bit

No if or and's, no question when I will improve it

Just ruthless decisions, no heart whatever the mission I do it

True shit, these loose lips could sink two ships

Now I’m trying to think before I speak

Put my heart into my words, trying to eat before I drink

Now I’m trying to look before I leap

Put my soul into my actions, trying to sow before I reap

See I never gave a fuck

Thought no one ever gave me enough

But I see the error in that mind state

The crime rate keeps growing, but now I know that I’m safe

I turned my back upon a lot

But I never ran, I simply walked away before I got shot

Now I’m sitting thinking ‘bout the realist shit

Life seems meaningless, until you start to feel it slip

Never looking at my life, only looking for the prize

No one can budget proper ‘till they start looking at the price

The mirror had me looking in my eyes

Thinking what would it be like to start looking with my mind

One day you’ll hear the knock and you’ll know that this is it

But only once you reach the edge and you start to feel it slip

We feel it slip, we feel it slip, we feel it slip, we feel it slip

Life is quick so right the ship, before it slips

Remember one thing when you start to feel you’ve been bested

The lesson we never truly learn until the deathbed

The hows and whys don't matter much, it’s bad enough

We spend our time staring at numbers always trying to add ‘em up

You’ll never have enough until you give on that dream

Scrooge McDuck was sad as fuck, this life is not a magazine

This life is not always bad as it seems

Go soak it up, become a sponge, spend the cash on magic beans

It doesn't matter if they're real or not

The realist shit in life is the day when you stop feeling that knot

In your stomach, always wondering when is that and where is that

Why is his better than mine and why is hers better than that

Be happy with what you have

It’s so cliche and yet we all forget and live like Mr. Crabs

The truth about money, it can only buy shit

And you'll realize the truth when you feel this life slip

Never looking at my life, only looking for the prize

No one can budget proper ‘till they start looking at the price

The mirror had me looking in my eyes

Thinking what would it be like to start looking with my mind

One day you’ll hear the knock and you’ll know that this is it

But only once you reach the edge and you start to feel it slip

We feel it slip, we feel it slip, we feel it slip, we feel it slip

Life is quick so right the ship, before it slips

The clock keeps ticking every day

Incessantly we try to master our time in every way

But life is not about a clock, about an hour or a minute

Life is about how you spend it, the good times we find within it

The clock doesn't care when you die, it just keeps spinning

Time is venom, take the time to feel the rhythm

Its cliche, but stop and smell the flowers

It’s ok, even if for just one minute every hour

I know this is tough for the restless

I wrestle with this, my brain is constant congested

It’s like all my thoughts are infested

Always trying to cook the food without stopping to ingest it

But that road is a dead end

The only finish line we cross is loneliness and dead friends

So stop to take in the fresh air for a bit

If not now, then you'll do it once you feel the world slip

Never looking at my life, only looking for the prize

No one can budget proper ‘till they start looking at the price

The mirror had me looking in my eyes

Thinking what would it be like to start looking with my mind

One day you’ll hear the knock and you’ll know that this is it

But only once you reach the edge and you start to feel it slip

We feel it slip, we feel it slip, we feel it slip, we feel it slip

Life is quick so right the ship, before it slips
