Letra de So Much Time

For this girl named Sunshine
He started shooting up his main line
Didn't take time 'til he was hook, sinker and line
Not a thinker, he dreamed of being a rock and roll singer
And he was gifted in many ways, the kid was gifted
He could cop the heroin from Shaolin to 125th
Kid, let's get explicit
He tore apart his arms, his mind, body and soul
He tried to tax his homies' mom
For her purse and her personal belongings
He longing for a fix so hard he forgot about his wife and kids
My God, what type of shit is that?
If that ain't the straw that broke the camel's back, bust this
He pimped his wife and sold his kids!
Now one little whisker pulled a ship to shore
The same one pulled the whole band off tour
Mad strong, 8 million miles long
With a tight grip enough to make a sane man flip
[Chorus]
So much time, wasted, gone by
Could have been just someone else
So much time, wasted, gone by
But I blame it on myself
Cause I hold on to, when there's nothing
Nothing I hold on to, when there's nothing at all
I saw a man on a train platform playing his horn
Threw some change in his hat cause I dug his song
I could tell he had problems of the world today
But it still didn't stop him from his subway serenade
It was sticky, sweaty, hot on the Times Square station
But this old man gave me a big inspiration
Had me thinking to myself
Damn and I be stressing shit
Help me God, take me out of this hell hole
But this man was stone
He had the world on his shoulders, in a struggle
Didn't even have a teddy bear to cuddle with
Alone, solo, no family involved, but he still stood tall
Giving it his all and all
Cause life is too precious and even in the trenches
God has his intentions, pay real close attention
You could live your life doing nothing but expecting
But remember that the future is created in the present
And that's now y'all
Right now
[Chorus]
So much time, wasted, gone by
Could have been just someone else
So much time, wasted, gone by
But I blame it on myself
Cause I hold on to, when there's nothing
Nothing I hold on to, when there's nothing at all
Break it down
So much time
(And so he sang)
Cause I hold on to, when there's nothing
Nothing I hold on to, when there's nothing at all
So much time, wasted, gone by
