Clock With No Hands Lyrics - Game Theory - The Roots

Yeah, sittin' in the staircase, holding back tears 

Lookin' over mad years worth of photographs 

Pictures of some places I ain't never goin' back 

Some people I used to love, why I ain't show them that? 

The skies was overcast, when I was sober last 

My head is spinnin', couldn't tell you if it's slow or fast 

It's starting to get too clear, I got to go and grass 

To y'all it's a shame but life is what we know it as 

Waitin', navigating the plot, without plans 

In the car, it's hard to read as a clock with no hands 

How your man's goin' get up and stop with no yams? 

All it take is one break, it could pop the program 

Whether sinning or not 

My back bending like I'm sentenced a lot 

I feel some brothers is beginning to plot 

It might have been a close friend I forgot

Who started up and ain't remember to stop 

I bet these niggaz going remember the shop 

People think that I'm crazy, just 'cause I wanna be alone 

You can't depend on friends to help you in a squeeze 

We all deal with shit on our own 

And sometimes the beef can grow, get out of hand 

Yeah, you know it gets full blown 

I never said that you mean the world to me 

Maybe it's best that you never know 

Yo, I'm like Malcom out the window with the weapon out 

Searchin' for somehow to find a minute or the second now 

Precious time is money that I ain't got to mess about 

Need it from the horse's mouth or from my eye with less account 

Lessons with my back to the wall, scoping my session out 

Stay a little edgy at times when I ain't stressin' bout 

Haters don't know shit about me, they the ones that talk shit 

Those who love me send it out, so I ain't got to force quit 

Photos 

'Cause I'm doin' better now, don't mean I never lost shit 

I was married to a state of mind and I divorced it, man 

I'm from where brothers movin' product from the porches 

People lockin' their doors, clutching to their crosses 

The block hot by the law there ain't too many choices 

So what I do is for y'all 'cause there ain't too many voices left 

I watch my back and watch my step 

And I might forgive but I do not forget come on 

People think that I'm crazy, just 'cause I wanna be alone 

You can't depend on friends to help you in a squeeze 

We all deal with shit on our own 

And sometimes the beef can grow, get out of hand 

Yeah, you know it gets full blown 

I never said that you mean the world to me 

Maybe it's best that you never know 

Yo, living in turbulent times, the blind leadin' the blind 

Some call it evolution, some say intelligent design 

You say you want a revolution, you out of your mizind 

Your sons' destitute and their pops all in the prison 

My man's back in the jam, he like the back of my hand 

He just attracted to scam, he right back in the can 

I never sleepwalkin', you dig, you get your shuteye 

I'm on the first thing in, I'm leavin' on the red-eye 

My brother back in rehab, just had another relapse 

But fin himself, it's been like he's been fightin' an energy half 

Tellin' me nobody true when they pretend to be that 

So closer than friends, that's where I keep my enemy at 

To many parties concerned, it's time to live it and learn 

Until we're able to grow, forever bridges we burn 

My thoughts free as a bird, that's just about to emerge 

And every action is heard, it speaks louder than words, yo 

People think that I'm crazy, just 'cause I wanna be alone 

You can't depend on friends to help you in a squeeze 

We all deal with shit on our own 

And sometimes the beef can grow, get out of hand 

Yeah, you know it gets full blown 

I never said that you mean the world to me 

Maybe it's best that you never know
