No Mind

I, I don't really have the time
So I, I don't pay them no mind
I can't pay them no mind

I've got a hand for a friend in need
But don't forget ones who held it down for little old N-I-G-E
For them, it's endless love and energy
No day's too short, night too long
For the family, I have to stay strong

I have to come through
See me on stage, I do it for me
But same time, mate, I do it for you
For all the lows and what we've been through
Tribulations are more than a few
Pick up yourself, I'm here when you do

And them man there can stare, yeah
A man like me never cared

Fake love I can smell in the air
My time's precious, you can't come near
Who's got time for a bad mind?
Not me, sir, get declined
Packed house, sure, it's that time
Shell it, head off and recline
I'm here for a fun time
Pay my respects in these lines
No gratitude in these rhymes
I switch off when they're inside

I, I don't really have the time
So I, I don't pay them no mind
I don't pay them no mind
Said I, I don't really have the time
So I, I don't pay them no mind
I can't pay them no mind

It feels like so long ago
Rusty bike, just on my way home
Streetlight ray macerating the road
The wheel sink in the grip of its glow
The tungsten beats down like a junction
My feet pant on the pedals like snow

Yeah, there's no other place like London
Downtrodden man with a bust-up nose
Who I am, who I was, I don't know
Need to take time and assess these goals
Got tired of scrapping on streets and clashing police
But that doesn't mean that I got it figured

I think on it as the screen, it flickers
Penning the words to clear this path
No time for distractions, have a laugh

I, I don't really have the time
So I, I don't pay them no mind
I don't pay them no mind
Said I, I don't really have the time
So I, I don't pay them no mind
I can't pay them no mind

I don't really have the time
I don't really have the time
I don't really have the time
I don't really have the time
