Time Is Violent by Eden Paige Lyrics
[Intro: Eden Paige]
Yeah ya ya
[Verse 1: Eden Paige]
Take the money yeah, you can have the cars
But you can’t take the soul outta the bars
You should try to steal my memories cuz I know them by heart
Try to rip me and what I been through apart hm
If you’re an enemy, I need you close
Friend or family, goodbye I gotta go
Cause I got a lot to live up to
Of them other rappers no one’s gonna rest soon
I been off them other rappers yeah, and for some time
I could read their titles but, I think I’m turnin' blind
We been keeping awake after primetime
We been doin' us spittin', ask the mic right
We been catching flak from neighbouring flats
They don’t seem to get it they get premieres of our tracks
Three songs a week during summer yeah we sweat
Look at us reaching our goals, look at us net, Paige
[Chorus: Victor Emery]
I’m no kind of angel
Knowing that I tend to take it too far
Earnin’ my halo
Got a couple scars on my bleeding heart x2
[Bridge: Eden Paige]
Guess I need to be
Guess I need to be my own
Guess I need to be
Guess I need to be my own man x2
[Verse 2: Eden Paige]
Guess I need to be my own role model
But I don’t know my role yet and I ain’t got a motto
I used to hide from god but, still had to fight the demons
Now I’m tryna be a somebody, cause people need a leader
Here they wanna break your neck like they drunk driving
While I’m speeding never pumped the brakes it’s not an option
It’s like they take a license but they stuck in park and
I fail to understand not everyone was made for awesome
[Verse 3: Eden Paige]
Fresh in the game see me blossom, see me frost ’em
See me taking precautions, cause of the Jim Acostas
Pause this, look over your shoulder and be honest
Do you have a following that follows you like prophets
Do you have integrity or in it for the profit
Listen I promise this, if you offset the promises
You’ll be stuck with no one left, and hang out with the consequence
[Chorus: Victor Emery]
I’m no kind of angel
Knowing that I tend to take it too far
Earnin’ my halo
Got a couple scars on my bleeding heart x2
[Verse 4: Eden Paige]
I look in the mirror to make sure I’m still myself
Cause I change, everyday, I’m putting ways up on the shelf
Not wasting my health, on some roll ups and some pills
I been off the rails, now I’m tryna save my cells, why?
Cause I’m colleague and a friend and I’m a brother
A rapper, a writer, a suit but most importantly a father
So evolving is imperative
But it feels like I’m alone building my pyramid
And that’ll I die in the center of my empire
If I decide, I’ll die with people that I admire
Not the pirate minded, not these biased liars
Not the undecided, not these hire-fires, rhyme pirayas
Not the kind of people that change who they are, Miley Cyrus
I want people wearing smiles just to kill with kindness
Mind their moment, squeeze and hold it, bold it, time is violent
Tell me who's accountable for lost ones, think about it
Think About It
[Chorus: Victor Emery]
I’m no kind of angel
Knowing that I tend to take it too far
Earnin’ my halo
Got a couple scars on my bleeding heart x2
Yeah ya ya
[Verse 1: Eden Paige]
Take the money yeah, you can have the cars

You should try to steal my memories cuz I know them by heart
