No No No
S. E. 2009 (Disc 2) Lyrics

No time when you need it most.
When you need time the most, you don't have it.

When you should of gone hard,
When you should have put in maximum effort,

But you chose to coast.
You opted to take it easy.

You made your bed and now
You caused your own problems, and now

You've shit it too.
you have worsened the situation.

With the wrinkles in your forehead.
Your face reveals the stress you're under.

Looking even more dead.
You appear lifeless and dull.

Mirrors no friend so you just ignore it.
You don't want to face the truth of your appearance.

Full steps; No halves.
You will not settle for anything less than the full and complete outcome you desire.

You've got something to prove.
You are determined to show your worth.

Something to use,
You have a skill or talent that you can utilize.

And you know your Neyah, Neyah
You are fully aware of yourself and what you want.

Envy all the knee high Children with the chance Not to chase those me-guys.
You feel envious of the young children who are free from adult worries and obligations to money.

Look at the clock,
Pay attention to time,

And stop chasing the crumbs.
Stop settling for less and opt for a more fulfilling life.

Pull the stop out, hop out,
Change your current situation and move on to something else.

And embrace what's done.
Accept and appreciate what you have already accomplished or achieved.

You want a second chance?
You may desire another opportunity, but

Mother-fuck a second chance.
you prefer to make the most out of the first chance given.

Be a damn veteran.
Become an experienced and skilled individual.

Build a fucking batter ram.
Create and use all of your strength and resources.

Get in on the ground floor.
Start at the beginning,

Be the effin' ground for Lay them bricks Until you're rich And the towns you was down pour On your glass ceiling
Work hard and from the bottom and keep laying bricks until you become successful, and those who doubted you will be impressed with your achievements.

While your pensions getting cut.
Despite your loyalty to your employer, your retirement benefits are being reduced.

Working for the same company since 19-90-what?
You have worked for the same company for a prolonged period.

The fuck is that?
But for what good reason?

You had your dreams.
You once had ambitions and aspirations.

Trade 'em in for stability,
You have abandoned your dreams in favor of a steady income.

And some time on the green.
But your bosses' interests now dictate your activities, even though you don't share them.

And you don't even like golf,
You are not passionate about or interested in golf, but

But you know your boss does.
you know that it is an important part of your boss's life.

Suck his dick, and help him pick The fucking right golf club.
You are willing to accept the demeaning tasks your boss gives you just to keep your job.

Fuck conventional And fuck Mensa too.
You reject mainstream thinking and the elitist intellectual organization Mensa.

Be a genius without leaning on a high IQ.
Be brilliant without relying on intellect alone.

Analog to the digital.
A comparison between the old and new ways

Tryina get rid of you.
The new ways are trying to phase out the old ways.

Keep tick-tockin', Evil clock in the living room.
The clock on the living room wall is a constant reminder of how time is running out.

Twelve pack turns to six,
A twelve-pack of drinks is whittled down to six.

Then six turns to none.
And eventually, those six run out too.

You think you got time So you roll another blunt.
You believe that you have the luxury of time, so why not smoke another joint.

Snooze button on your passion.
You have shut off or ignored your ambitions.

What happens next is tragic.
And the consequences will be dire.

Scared to take the plunge,
You're hesitant to take the leap into the unknown.

So you sponge bath placid.
You are complacent with the situation you're in.

Embarrassed by a dream You're not sure you can fulfill.
You are ashamed of an ambition you're unsure about achieving.

So you down play and front, Like it's no big deal.
To save face, you pretend as if it never mattered.

But it is, and you know it.
It is important, and you are aware of this.

Biggest fear is that you'll blow it.
Your biggest fear is that you will fail.

You know just where the line is,
You are aware of your capabilities and limitations.

But you're too afraid to tow it.
But you're frightened to test its boundaries.

Now you're going in the wrong direction.
Now you're heading off course.

No time to correct it.
It's almost too late to retrace your steps.

You wake up on the other side of a good intention.
You find yourself having failed despite your good intentions.

Wrong side of the spectrum.
You're on the opposite end of the outcome you desired.

No art, just method.
Your actions lack passion or creativity.

Shit products getting pushed,
Mediocre products are being marketed and sold.

And the fans left guessing.
Consumers are perplexed by this subpar content.

Rest upon your laurels cause this shit's too easy.
You're content in remaining in your success and not challenging yourself because it requires too much effort.

Selling dope to dumb fiends Who wouldn't know a good CD If it bit 'em in the ass.
You're selling bland products to people with little discernment.

Have a little class.
Have some dignity and self-respect.

Respect your general public.
Value the opinions and thoughts of the people you sell your products to.

Don't... ????
Don't settle for mediocrity or lack ambition.

Make some shit that sparks debate.
Create content that incites conversation and debate.

We don't need another take On how nice it is to be rich.
We do not need another diatribe about how amazing it is to be wealthy.

Fuck your Escalade.
Reject a materialistic lifestyle.

When the clock's tickin' Yeah, the plot thickens.
When time is running out, the stakes become higher.

Take account of what you did.
Assess what you have accomplished.

No not quicken.
Don't speed up, though

Put a sock in it If you not spitting.
Keep quiet if you don't have anything valuable to say.

Pendulum is like a guillotine Chopping shit.
Expect time to keep moving, regardless of whether you have completed what you set out to do.

I might of lied when I said We're alive 'till we die.
It's possible that I was not truthful when I claimed that we have a finite existence.

Life's too short, not long.
Life may seem like it goes on, but it won't last forever.

Gotta get by.
It's important to make ends meet and get through life.

But we gotta get high.
But, on some level, cultivating joy is also important.

Happy medium.
Balance should be achieved.

I'm reading right in between the lines.
I'm discerning the hidden messages nested in plain sight.
