[Lyric] Time Goes On (Kingston XV)

[Verse 1]
Life is a just morbid joke
Work so hard to lose it all
Money flows, comes and goes
Wealth is always passed along
Generations rise and fall
Time goes on and on
Legacies fictional
All pursuits trivial
Fade, fade away
Back to dust we fall again
Everything is meaningless, Ozymandias
King of kings, fallen down
Lifeless, forgotten, unknown
Was it a dream or was it a memory
Looking back can't tell any different
What's the point of living a fantasy
Good times don’t last can't really cherish it
Sun goes up and then goes down
Water flows to seas from clouds
Circle of life yeah
Nothing new, it ain't profound
Since the start of time just how many people have gone forever
Billions of lives (long forgotten), nobody knows 'em (dead forever)
An average man or king with crowns
Fame or power won't save 'em now
Story of life will never be found
Reduced to nothing in the ground
[Chorus]
Oh - ohh - oh - ohoh - ohohh
Wind blows out a soul fire
Time goes on
Oh - ohh - oh - ohoh - ohohh
Stars shine in the night sky
Time goes on

[Verse 2]
Pursuits, pleasure, fake, yes
Hedonic, cycles, unimpressed
Animals, humans, nothing, different
Eat, sleep, repeat, death
Look I know we may seem smarter than pets
But at the end of life there ain't no social ranks when we're dead
Ultimate equaliser I ain't talkin' bout a Maag
Might say hi to Hamlet when I leave from this pad, yeah
Peek at what they post online only thought in mind is money
People sell their soul to fulfill passions born from envy
Conquering mountains, it's all pointless, all the fans will lose their interest
Once you're at the top, they move on to newer prospects
Lotta wealth, can't sleep well, scared one day you'll drop the ball
Got everything to lose while an average man can never fall
Let it go, it's not yours, the money stays here when your gone
Came in this world bearing nothing, leave with nothing on your own
[Chorus]
Oh - ohh - oh - ohoh - ohohh
Wind blows out a soul fire
Time goes on
Oh - ohh - oh - ohoh - ohohh
Stars shine in the night sky
Time goes on

[Verse 3]
Okay
So if nothing matters what do I do, where do I go from here
Don’t do anything or do it all, future so unclear
Guess I'll just get lost in the moment, free my mind and disappear
Change my name and change my MBTI start a new career
Odds against me, I don’t care, ain't no odds when it’s all fake
Life is just a game ain't no time to fear and waste
Ready for the struggle yeah join me hop in for a ride
Hard times teach us how to smile 'fore we die
Journey starts today, dunno where I'll be tomorrow
Not that it'll matter, in a thousand years
Imma just be me, run it up and see
Go with the flow wherever music can take me
Alright it's starting to get clear now, how I should proceed from here
Don’t think too much or get caught in false realities
The noise of money and fame are all man-made, just follow the key
Just live, just be, be free
[Chorus]
Oh - ohh - oh - ohoh - ohohh
Wind blows out a soul fire
Time goes on
Oh - ohh - oh - ohoh - ohohh
Stars shine in the night sky
Time goes on
