Time Zone Lyrics & Chords By Hazakim

Way before my breathing starts, inside of my inward parts
Shortly after conception I'm possessin' a beating heart
Week eight and my face is already taking shape
Rapid pace, numerous changes are taking place
My thyroid's producing hormones controllin' how I'm growin'
Arms and legs are movin' – ears and eyes are formin'
Each week a new change, waves goin' through my veins
Skin's paper-thin, blood's flowin' through these veins
Muscles developin', delicate is my skeleton
Pancreas makin' insulin, all my organs have settled in
Over a thousand ligaments, equipped with vocal instruments
I'm built so intricate, life inside of this uterus
Second trimester with a see-through complexion
Knees and elbows are flexin' I'm making facial expressions
Numerous details, inside of me many cells
Cuti-kels already producing finger nails
Mom's producin' a lot of nutrients, I'm consumin' amniotic fluid
My body's growin' and I'm improvin', time is movin' even inside the womb and
Kick and squirm as I twist and turn, I can discern my mother's voice
I'm full term with a head of hair and it's been confirmed that I'm a boy
What a feeling, I'm among the living –just to exist is such a joy
Many would simply think to kill me – they would insist I'm "just a choice"
I'm facin' the unkown, my next phase a new milestone
I can wait but time won't – where I'm goin', new time zone
From the day that we're conceived until…
Time only lingers then moves on
It slips through your fingers then it's gone
Welcome to the Time Zone
They cut my umbilical chord the very minute I'm born
No longer within the placenta that was keeping me warm
Conceived in sin and now I'm about to enter this world
So many things to explore, I've never seen this before
Went from bottles and blocks to being able to walk
To preschool with other toddlers who would tattle a lot
Entering kindergarten, out of diapers, age of five
I'm pastin' collages with the crayons and markers – great at artwork
See me play with kids at the age of ten
Ain't afraid to blend – I play to win
A pivotal stage, I'm at a critical age
Dealin' with fits of rage – love playin' video games
At the age of fifteen I'm rebellious and vain
My parents see me as strange – kinda hard to explain
Soon I'll be off to college, I got a lot to accomplish
In my twenties nothing but parties and a whole lot of nonsense
Fast-forward through my thirties, everything's blurry, already married
At thirty five I'm raisin' two toddlers, forty nine I send them through college
Got grandkids at fifty five, life's whizzing by, now I'm sixty five
Oooow – feelin' it in my spine, body's in decline, no longer in my prime
Still feel young, my mind betrays me – look in the mirror, realize I'm eighty
Think about the people I've come across, loved and lost – man, time is crazy
I'm facin' the unkown, my next phase a new milestone
I can wait but time won't – where I'm goin', new time zone
From the day that we're conceived until…
Time only lingers then moves on
It slips through your fingers then it's gone
Welcome to the Time Zone
It's just a matter of time, It's just a matter of time
We're here today and gone tomorrow
Sunshine and rain, pain and sorrow
Just a matter of time
Life's a passing shadow, it flies as fast as a arrow
Like blades of grass in a meadow, it's just a dash in the middle
Of two separate dates that dissipates once your time has passed
Its goes by so fast, our lives are like an hourglass
