Clocks
H.E.D Lyrics

Yea yea we're living life
We are fully enjoying and embracing our existence

Yea we living life
We are fully embracing and experiencing life

Yea yea like Peter Pan, we don't ever grow up
We live in a carefree manner, avoiding the traditional responsibilities of adulthood

Confident and we don't give a fuck
We are self-assured and don't care about external opinions

All eyes when they look at us
We attract attention and are the center of focus

Got gold chains but it's not enough
We have material possessions, but they aren't enough to satisfy us

Wrist watch just to keep the time
We wear watches to stay on top of our schedules

If it's platinum then you know it's mine
If our watches are made of platinum, then they are ours

Got four plaques just to seal these lines
We have received numerous certifications for our musical accomplishments

Groupies yea we living life
We have fans who are intensely devoted to us

I'm racking hours at the studio
I spend a lot of time working in the recording studio

I'll be home late, let my girls know
I will be returning home late, so I have informed my female associates

Cooking up, gotta make the dough
I am working hard to make a profit

Sold out, you at the pre-show
Our concerts are completely sold out, while you are still waiting in line for the pre-show

Don't be mad cause you can't keep up
Don't be angry that you cannot match our success

I'll slow it down, I know times are tough
I will reduce my pace and acknowledge that times are difficult for some people

While you rap about your first love
While you write lyrics about your initial romantic partner

I'll be wrapping up my first home
I will be finalizing my purchase of a new property

Tick Tock
The sound of a clock ticking

Clock tower that never falls
A clock tower that remains standing despite everything else changing

Clock tower forever in this spot
The clock tower will continue to exist in this location indefinitely

Turning the days like we're turning the charts
We are progressing through time and the music charts with equal momentum

Top 100 yea we're here for it all
We are making a concerted effort to remain in the top 100 music chart rankings

It don't never stop
The clock's ticking perseveres and perseveres

I'm driving cars that you can't afford
I can purchase and operate expensive vehicles that you are incapable of owning

Have a few friends, no I don't need more
I am content with my small group of close friends and do not require additional social connections

Remember when you said I wasn't enough
Recall when you stated that I did not meet your expectations

Karma Bitch, now you in the dust
This is a reminder that your fate has caught up to you and your situation has worsened

Had a few choices of where to sign
We were presented with various options regarding record deals

I gave it thought, yea' I took my time
We carefully considered our options before making a decision

But no-one had a vision like mine
However, nobody possessed a vision as ambitious and unique as ours

Started up a label, now they all wanna sign
We established our own record label, and now others are eager to sign with us

House parties almost every night
We throw regular gatherings or parties in our home

But I can't forget the reason why
This is a reminder that we remain grounded and aware of our motivations

I came so far and I've been so blessed
We take pride in how far we have come and are grateful for our fortunes

Someone took a chance
An opportunity was granted to us, and somebody took a risk on us

So now I give it back
We pay it forward and give back to others

Got a drink in my hand
We are holding a beverage

A check in my right
We have a check or payment in our right hand

Saying "I wish for the best"
We hope for the best possible outcome

Signature sign
Our unique signature or autograph

Whoah
An exclamation used to express surprise or admiration
