Concentrating on the live aspect of crowd control DJing forced upon him by the true masters of electronic music such as Hawtin, Carl Cox and Jeff Mills, Temper’s approach to performing is set firmly against the “batter all your biggest dubs” drum and bass way.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah
I had to do this alone
Chase down my dreams on my own hearing all type of beats on my phone
Fetch like a bone
I am a dog on a leash Monalisa can't see what I'm on
Yes I been on my own
I cannot do this no more
I told the Lord
Please take the helm of this boat cause I'm sinking I can't see the shore
I thought I could float
Yes I could float on a beat but I drown in the sea of my sorrows
Ain't promised tomorrow
Told em' I'd give em my days cause I know that my time here is borrowed
I know that my time here is borrowed (My time here is borrowed)
I drown in the sea of my sorrows ain't promised tomorrow (No tomorrow)
I don't know if ima make it
But I gotta keep my eyes on Jesus face and when the trial comes I stay strong and face it (Face it, face it)
I know that my time here is borrowed (My time here is borrowed)
I drown in the sea of my sorrows ain't promised tomorrow (No tomorrow)
I don't know if ima make it
But I gotta keep my eyes on Jesus face and when the trial comes I stay strong and face it
Yeah face it
She tried to get me off the road
The path to success is deceiving it leads to a hole
A hole full of sorrows
She promised the world in exchange for my soul
Ain't promised tomorrow
She tried to mislead me, deceive me and take everything that I own
My heart and my throne
My joy and my peace
The truth that my savior is always with me
Where can I go?
Where can I run?
If I make my bed in hell He will be there
If I take a Percocet He wouldn't care He would open His arms and fill me with His care
Don't take no pills
Don't chase the thrill
You don't need nothing when you in His will
Turn nothing to something if you just sit still
Remember your time here is borrowed
I know that my time here is borrowed (My time here is borrowed)
I drown in the sea of my sorrows ain't promised tomorrow (No tomorrow)
I don't know if ima make it
But I gotta keep my eyes on Jesus face and when the trial comes I stay strong and face it (Face it, face it)
I know that my time here is borrowed

Turn nothing to something if you just sit still
By patiently waiting and remaining faithful, great things can be achieved
Remember your time here is borrowed
We should all be mindful of the brevity and uncertainty of life
