Describing a past of recklessness and the realization that time is running out.
Trying my best to find my way (tick tock tick tock)
-Change our world in just one day (tick tock tick tock)
-Blowin' coke all up my nose (tick tock tick tock)
-Gettin' in and out my clothes (my life's a clock and it's winding down)
-Foolin' 'round with midnight ho's (and it's winding down)
-But that chapter of life's closed
-From the day you're born
