Mama Chill - Is It My Time pt1 Lyrics
At tha age of five I revelled in tha gloryEncouraging tha crowds to come hear my storyLetting them all know I was gonna be tha oneTo cut a record deal yeah, before my double figures comeTen, eleven, years kept calling, messing up my head and tha shit snowballingMummy hate daddy, daddy hate mum, shutting myself in tha bedroomCranking up tha volume, taking me away to a day I get outta hereLungs shrivelled up, like a child I was full of fearYeah I had a voice weren’t nobody listening, found a brick wallSumthin to put my fist in.School didn’t care, my sister was brainy, I was a waster, why would they save me?There was one teacher, he was called Tim, he had belief in me, I had respect for himLetting me know if I worked hard tha dream was mine, I’ve been working damn hardEver since, is it my time, is it my time?Give me a break let me make it to that music aqualungOnly oxygen I need to ever keep me turned onAint about tha money, so give me what I want, what I need,You got tha air I need to breatheI was always fighting, it wasn’t outta hateIt’s just how it was on tha council estate where I grew upYou know, you do what ya do to survive, be happy have nobody mess with yaWhen I was thirteen I was smoking & doping, hurting so bad, I’d given up hopingT.O.T.P was well outta reach; my mama had a breakdown, my sister she preachedThat was just her way of getting on through, telling me I was going to hellI already knew, hey yo devil nutha sinner coming downPump up tha volume mama chill is in townJoking aside, I was going of tha rails, suicided three times, , each time I failedDidn’t wanna die but I didn’t wanna live with my heart hanging outAnd everybody kicking it so I took tha anger and put it in a rhymeSomebody gonna love it some day, is it my time, is it my time?Give me a break let me make it to that music aqualungOnly oxygen I need to ever keep me turned onAint about tha money, so give me what I want, what I need,You got tha air I need to breatheDont play no violins or I’ll cut tha stringsIt’s just how it was; it’s just how it’s beenLife’s a ***** but it’s beautiful tooAll gotta do our time, but this time it’s gotta be mineWe’re just like tha simpsons there’s five of us tooAint mentioned my brother yet but ya know, his coolWe all dysfunctional but we lovin each otherInfact I wanna have them all on my first record coverThat’s if I’m making it before I’m an oldieTeeth in a glass body wrinkly & mouldyYeah old age creeps up from behind, better sign me know huh? Is it my time?Give me a break let me make it to that music aqualungOnly oxygen I need to ever keep me turned onAint about tha money, so give me what I want, what I need,You got tha air I need to breathe
