lyrics

Lady Daisey

Sure I got the time
I keep it, right here in my pocket
Let me pull it out and rock it
When I was a child
I grew up in a kinder garden
As I got older it got colder
All my playgrounds got paved over
Since time began
time and time again
Character makes a man, so
Are u bold, are u sold, are u told, are u cold,
in control of your
Rock n roll, rhythm and blues
Hiphop and soul

HOOK

They say that time is money, but money ain't time!
Is money the essence of every life?
And if so how much do you want for your soul?
1 hundred, 2 thousand, 3 million more?

ADAM OPINIO

Can you ever tell what time is
Is time something we're situated in
or just accepting
Is it just something they've made up
while we stand by watching
tempting us with things that we can't reach
we thank them and bow for what we'll never get
When we're searching for happiness in
when we're trying to succeed in
when we're looking for a life in our democracy
When we try to find peace of mind, peace in freedom
Find five faults and you'll find them all
In Mammon, egoism, masculine, feminine, religion
search and you shall find in eternity
When the words are out, then the feeling takes over
The expectation that we must chase time, yeah bills
Store liquid assets, shit man in the west we got such
strange customs

HOOK

They say that time is money, but money ain't time!
Is money the essence of every life?
And if so how much do you want for your soul?
1 hundred, 2 thousand, 3 million more?

Diamondog

Eyo stop I have 16 bars that way hear me/
life is sweeter than honey and sugar, and sweeter than (pussy)
stay on all the time /
a wrong attitude in your life you go to the jail or will be haunted
Follow the good way as the (Tim Maia) Brazilian singer says
wealth acquired unlawfully, brings remorse and makes the devil your
partner/
manhood brings dignity
if you want you can build big things
dont look to the e.g. our president but to Mandela, Mandume and Ghandi
We have oil, diamonds, uranio and florests
but we haven’t got food, health, we just have gangsters on the government
each looking for themselves but God doesn’t give for all
and don’t forget that our country is not just the capital where the president lives
because we are millions in bad conditions in the middle of a boss swimming in millions of
dollars
in this situation of desperation they pass in front of the people with mercedes bought with our
blood

HOOK

They say that time is money, but money ain't time!
Is money the essence of every life?
And if so how much do you want for your soul?
1 hundred, 2 thousand, 3 million more?

LMNZ

i ain´t got time
like anybody else here ain't got none,
but i just take my time
open the beer with my teeths
lean back and observe what´s happenin around me
consistent greed for paper doesn´t lose
it´s importance in the life of many,
denizens of the planet strive for that goal(to make money)
so their existence is embossed only by the pursuit of cash
sun is shinin, but who cares
the sallary will be spent for a week in spain anyway
u cook of stress and hecticness
climb up the job ladder
u ain´t got sex on ur mind
so the barreer between u and ur woman s growin wider
but who cares
u ll marry quick at night
between 2 appointments
ur 3 days awake(joke on the actual german techno hit "3 tage wach")
ur eyes become small like the wholes in a sieve
cause the competition ain´t sleepin
u can c that
before u go like "that was the last straw"
go to the wellnessarea
cuz ur guideline in life
is the lovely money,
goodbye

HOOK

They say that time is money, but money ain't time!
Is money the essence of every life?
And if so how much do you want for your soul?
1 hundred, 2 thousand, 3 million more?
