jma – time is ticking lyrics

[intro]

[verse 1]
take a moment to look back and reflect on your life
and realize there’s only so much time in our lives
ask yourself: “what am i gonna do with mine?
is there anyone who’s gonna be loved and changed because i was alive?”

because time is ticking and i don’t want you to be blind
to the deception that you will always have tomorrow’s time
i don’t want you to be surprised when life blindsides you, neither to compromise
your dreams, you still have time to receive god’s promises, divine

one day i stumbled upon an article
that showed how insanely short our life is, it’s like a particle
of dust – one moment it’s there and the other it’s gone in the wind:
time is so unmerciful

our life is but dust and dirt – we only have so many days here on earth
since your birth to your death, your days are numbered
so, you might feel a dearth of time, but instead of becoming depressed
let it motivate you!

today, like the days that have p-ssed, has a number, so instead of becoming number
become more sensitive to the wonder of life, which is death
it makes you feel like you’re under pressure of time, which is fine
when you don’t let your mind be paralyzed, but let it enthuse the use of your time

with excitement. as you don’t know how many digits you’ve got left
use today’s number wisely, so you wouldn’t regret if it would be your last
love god and love people, make today last
because time is ticking and you won’t get it back

[hook]
let’s look behind, and try to reflect on our lives
because we only have so much time
‘cause i know there’s someone who needs to feel alive

[verse 2]
i must be tripping when i hear you admitting that there’s nothing worth living
for that, you feel like quitting because you can’t find the meaning
of life. so, let me tell you what i have come to realize:
we gotta act quickly and move swiftly in order to outwit the trickery

because we’ve been tricked in believing and thinking
that we’ve got enough time… that’s sickening!
because the fact is that we become sicker and closer to death
with every day we’re living. then why do we keep lingering?

this life is a ship that is sinking
so, we gotta point others to the lifeboat without wasting any more time…
because time is ticking
do you hear what i’m saying?

yes, time is ticking, that’s why i’m rapping faster over this sick beat
to say more words in less time, since we are not gonna get it back. so, let me
write and practice. because i want to impact this world while i can still breathe
even though there’s so much that i’m lacking, it won’t back me down

because god’s got my back now
so, i will make the most of what he has given me
this is what is driving me and my productivity:
to know that i can be used by him. i don’t care if i’d have a short or long life

i’d rather have a great impact through my songs and mic
and change more than just some lives
through the hope and message in my lines
because time is ticking and soon we gotta say “goodbye.”

[hook]
let’s look behind, and try to reflect on our lives
because we only have so much time
‘cause i know there’s someone who needs to feel alive

[verse 3]
while immortality inspires
then mortality motivates:
i’ve got an eternal life ahead of me, who am i going to take with?
i’ve got only one life, i gotta embrace this gift!

life is a one-way ticket
where are you heading and who are you taking with?
know that with every minute
you’re moving closer to the end, further from the beginning

i won’t keep you any longer, you might be tired of my suggestions
but just take a moment and ask these, more important questions:
“have i lived? have i loved?
have i mattered? have i given my best, my better?”

if not, you can still do it! don’t settle!
although time might be unmerciful, we have a god whose mercies are new
every morning! today may be a complete restart for you
so, listen, before you give up:

until you’re not dead, god’s not done!
but remember: time is ticking, so stop procrastinating
and use today to show some love
and bless someone
