I explain the story behind these lyrics on my facebook page. If you go to it, watch the Welcoming Video, where I introduce the first 8 bars.

Hala-X produced this beat, and entitled it Tomorrow Never Comes Part 1

Lyrics:

Flowing down an hourglass pretty fast, till I crash,
Got a rash from the sand stash/ (slash) pile of aged ash,
Time keeps flowing, no way to make a dash,
So I'm enslaved to time n forced to get bashed
Against the grainy sand where we all get mashed,
Unawareness is a façade where time gets masked,
The flame is gone before it outlandishly out lashed,
There's no way to light it back, so I guess I'm out matched,
Use to be naïve with my eyes full of greed,
Until I grieved when the present never took its leave,
See the future never came when the present stayed the same,
Would it ever change or even rearrange?
It's strange how the flame of surety is now estranged,
Have I always been deranged? Soaked in my sorrow?
The future's hourglass is what I couldn't borrow,
I guess that's why it's the Promise of No Tomorrow.

Chorus
Tomorrow,
Tomorrow never comes,
What kind of a fool do they take me for?
Tomorrow,
I rest in place for bums,
I'm trapped in the slums, but I know the score

Sand now flows out the broken glass, such a mass,
Split on the burnt grass -so hard to grasp -
The idea of the future being a huge impasse,
It's all unknown so there's no way for me to surpass,
The broken burning light still shines on me,
So I still sit here and wait, peacefully,
But ya see there is no peace when there is no sleep,
And I wasted most of my life counting sheep,
Wake up to the reality of time, hearing a chime,
My heartbeat on the monitor going flat line,
The fault was in mine -- I forgot how to shine --
When I made the luxuries of the present my shrine,
Now on the hospital bed I'm left with less than a dime,
Thought tomorrow would always come in a linear design,
But there's nothing that says tomorrow must exist,
So I learned tomorrow is such a thing that ain't promised.

Chorus

Easy with the prattle, this is my own battle,
Sand from the hourglass became a hassle,
The fire once shook me, but now I chose to rattle,
Cuz I took the sand and made my own sand castle,
Now I'm living not expecting the 'assured future',
Every day to the fullest as if time were my teacher,
Every day a big smile is what I'm showing,
So if tomorrow doesn't come, I wouldn't mind going,
Flowing down this hourglass, till I stumble, till I fumble,
Hopefully I won't crumble as I tumble in a bundle,
Won't be much of a rumble if I do remain humble,
"The future never comes" is what I hear the glass mumble,
I don't just live life according to my own splendour,
But this time I won't be flowing to time's agenda,
So with a new surety I keep flowing in this flask,
As I become the new sand that flows in this hourglass.

Chorus x2
