The Watchmaker Theory - Mac Lethal

Where did the time go?

Back in the days I didn’t want to admit I was like the other white folks

I’d be in the burbs and see a cop car drive slow and I’d yell out «Duck,

motherfuckers, there go 5−0!»

Whoo!

Dressing like a thug in the mall and shit

Me and Emily just called it quits

She was a young fire crotch alcoholic chick

If I remember correctly I think her dad was into politics

After school we’d go to Popeye’s chicken

I would get a 3 piece combo with some red beans and rice on the side and an

extra side of mac and cheese

One extra biscuit and 2 honey packets please

Where did the time go?

When I was 6 years old my uncle Darryl had a nice boat

Every independence day took us to the lake or the Ozarks so we could watch the

fireworks and light show

Around this time my parents decided that they wanted to go and terminate their

marriage

We lived in Raytown, Missouri in a yellow house with the tire-swing up in the

front yard down on 67 terrace

My mom planted radishes and carrots, cabbages and hairless

Marijuana plants until my next door neighbor went and ratted to the sheriff

My whole entire family had to hide up in the Radisson embarrassed

My mother was a really pretty lady, my father was a salesman in a used '83

'cedes

They’d argue a lot, she’d scream, he’d call her crazy

He’d disappear and not come back until day three

They seemed so old then, but they were in their thirties

They were in their thirties

My wife and I feel old, but we in our thirties

Listen, life ain’t fair and it’s weird

Everyday I pluck a gray hair from my beard

All the kids that used to be popular in school got fat, OD’d or they straight

disappeared

Oh shit!

where did the time go?

Back in the days I would speak to my parents with an eye roll

Got a blowjob from Angeline with my eyes closed

Felt guilty, went home and tried to read the Bible

Fell asleep 3 pages in, woke up and felt time slow like God is angry at me now

he gonna end my life no

Where did the time go?

My best friend just got divorced, where’d his wife go?

Out to dinner with another guy bro

I knew for sure he’d shoot her with a rifle

Until I found out as it turns out that he has ED

And making love to his wife just hasn’t been easy

He tried to make excuses trying to say that he was sleepy

And she just wanted a love life in 3D and I can’t blame her for it

And I can’t paint the portrait, that she’s vain and morbid — cause she’s not

This is why we need to fucking legalize …

'Cause every single grown adult that I’ve met

Gets a broken heart when they wonder where the time went

All you do is get gray hair then you die slow

Lay in your casket and wonder: «Where'd the time go?»

Uh, you felt so young then, then you’re in your thirties

Right now you’re seventeen, blink a couple times and you’re gonna be seventy

Where did the time go?

I don’t know bitch

Hurry up and die slow

Hurry up and buy, ho

Everything is everything and everything is on sale

Except a perfect plan that is guaranteed to not fail

You want a guarantee?

See, you go to college four years

Read some books but drank more beer

Somebody lied to you when they told you that all you gotta do is go to college

and the day after you graduate you’ll make $ 150,000

Go to happy hour, get a nice Martini with an olive and

And a brand new Porsche with the candy paint polish

You want a mansion with a pool?

You can have all this!

All you gotta do is go to class a couple times

You don’t gotta worry about the time

You don’t gotta worry about the $ 89,999 that you’re gonna be in debt

Pay your student loan down let us see you sweat

You want a job?

Well this company don’t need you yet

Started at the bottom and you’ll stay, at the fucking bottom till your heart is

in decay

You at the fucking bottom till your hair is turning gray

So you try to numb the pain, getting married turn away

Maybe you will get it if I whisper this:

You gotta start your own business

Start your own business

Start your own business

Follow your dreams you little bitches

Hi, can you come here Eric?

I know you’ve worked for this company for 37 years

And you treat it like a career

Unfortunately, the way corporations work is

We don’t give a fuck about you and have no emotional connection to anything

other than our profit

So, you’re fired!
