Time Kept On Slippin

He said he would go to a new place Said he wanted to see some new faces Was tired of the same old thing Wanted to fulfill some dreams He saw some things on the television He was destined on a mission Kept on hoping and wishing Figured he would be really persistent Yeah he was ready for the world Like giving a nut to a squirrel So anxious and ready to go Thought things would move fast, but they begin to move slow Started hanging out with some guys His truths became lies His life at a halt Not giving much thought The days went past The weeks carried on The months flew by The years of a young boy scorned The dreams that were once perpetuated Of a boy that long ago had no hesitation To tell the story of his success one day Seems to have faded away That’s when reality hits You begin to think about what once was And realize you were so busy trippin That time kept on slippin
