Sands Through The Hourglass Video (MV)

Let me ask you the last question
What is the meaning of life
I think it's either the wrong question or that question is answered by paying sufficient attention to any present moment
Such that there's no basis upon which to pose that question

It's not answered in the usual way
It's not a matter of having more information
It's having more engagement with reality
As it is in the present moment

Time passes like The Sands Through the Hourglass
It's an unbearable weight, ayyo I'm drowning fast
I take the power back
Fear is how the cowards act
So what's a day to a life, how longs an hour last?
This shit is short and nothing written in stone
So when I need to sit, I choose to sit on a throne
Anything can happen in an instant you're gone
So when they call you better pick up the phone

Lately I been missing my own
Stress trapped me in a bind, got me spittin' a poem
We back home and now we hittin' a cone
Only thing to do next is get to spinnin' a song it's on

The universe is filled with many mysteries
From physics, chemistry to all the human history
Any man who claims to know it all has mastered trickery
Avoiding falling prey to them all's a massive victory

And I ain't perfect but I try to walk a straight line
And when it comes to the fam, I try to take time
And try and make good choices cause I hate lying
But I took a day to take the caine across state lines

I'm better than y'all, this ain't debate time
My job exposing you hoes but this ain't Dateline
Catch a wave with the way I ride the baseline
The way I beat up the beat is like a hate crime

The clock ticking down to zero, now it's game time
This life is art upon the canvas, how I paint mine
Don't always listen to what's coming through the grapevine
My name Christ, flow is water, watch me make wine

He got jumped while he was leaving the spot
Said he paid the dealer off, dawg, but seemingly not
You hear that?
Yo, it's me to the cops
Before the shit was legal, hid my weed in a sock

Peace to Biggie and Pac
Peace to Mac, Peace to Nipsey
Peace to PNB Rock
Where we go, we'll never know ain't got the key to the lock
But the label stays empty on my deity slot

Same time a baby's born, a lonely man dies
We all run in this race and ain't no damn prize
If most of y'all live in life as if your hands tied
Then in the end, the reaper beats you by a landslide

Time passes like the sands through the hourglass
It's an unbearable weight, ayyo I'm drowning fast
I take the power back, fear is how the cowards act
So what's a day to a life, how long's an hour last?

This shit is short and nothings written in stone
So when I need to sit, I choose to sit on a throne
Anything can happen in an instant you're gone
So when they call, you better pick up the phone

Time passes like the sands through the hourglass
It's an unbearable weight, ayyo, I'm drowning fast
I take the power back, fear is how the cowards act
So what's a day to a life, how long's an hour last?

This shit is short and nothings written in stone
So when I need to sit, I choose to sit on a throne
Anything can happen in an instant you're gone
So when they call, you better pick up the phone
