Tenpo Flow

Staring at the clock, hands doing laps

Calendar full, heart full of gaps

Everybody sprinting, I just jog through the fog

Chasing little red dots on a glowing log

Late fees, late nights, late to my own life

Quick scroll, quick fix, same dull knife

Mama said “patience”, city said “go”

Caught between both, stuck in slow-mo

Tenpo, tenpo, why you run past me?

Every little second feels like it’s taxing

Tenpo, tenpo, slipping from my hand

Still I write my name in the moving sand

(yeah, I’m tryna catch you)

Tenpo, tenpo, talking to the clock

If I move with grace, you can’t make me stop

Cheap coffee cooling on a cluttered desk

Unread texts stacked like unpaid debts

Dreams in the drafts, never hit send

I’ve been “almost there” since way back then

But I mark one win on a wrinkled page

Tiny little check in a quiet rage

If the world runs fast, let it blur that view

I’ll step on each stone till my step feels true (uh)

Tenpo, tenpo, why you run past me?

Every little second feels like it’s taxing

Tenpo, tenpo, slipping from my hand

Still I write my name in the moving sand

(yeah, I’m tryna catch you)

Tenpo, tenpo, talking to the clock

If I move with grace, you can’t make me stop
