Time Machine lyrics
What if you knew then what you know now?
And what if you knew now what you wish you knew then?
That's what I ask you (exclusive)
1.A wise man once told me life is what you make it
Bare witness to the lies simply cuz the truth is naked
My thoughts are sacred yet I share with the masses
I intend to be around when tha barrier collapses
It's dust to dust and ashes to ashes
Those that come up quick tend to be falling the fastest
On the cash-route, but for the paper they get lost
Not I, I rather let nature take it's cost
The reality is harsh but it's gotta be accepted
Your fate has been determined, outcome is pre-selected
No telling when your breath's stoppin', and death's knockin
To enjoy every second is your best option
Treat every first time like it was your last
I wish I cud somehow go and revisit the past
Correct any mistakes, maybe right a few wrongs
I'd hit the studio just to write a few songs
Chorus: If I hade a time machine I'd go back in a flash
Tell myself you ain't nuthin but a thing of the past
So let's go, ain't got no time for none of ya'll to borrow
Why not? Cuz today is yesterday's tomorrow
2x.
2.For the sake of argument let's say I did find a way
And wuz capable of goin back to any time or day
Like September 11th, then I'd have the chance to
Beg and pleed until every last flight wuz canceled
Go further back to clean more than smoke
Warn 'em to keep a close eye on the floor of the votes
I'd tell martin and malcolm how I respect they passion
To see change in justice, watch for the assasins
And me and ???, we'd be history itself
Maybe study Martial Arts with Mr. Lee himself
I'd tell Biggie to run the lights, don't stop, son
And Pac, somethin ain't right, don't ride shotgun
The good die young, we all know, but how come?
And since we know why we can't change the outcome
I try to make a difference, but reality remains
That the script's been written, so my efforts are in vain
Chorus 2x.
3.What about my future and the road that lies ahead
Should I take a glimpse or be surprised instead?
Think I'll sneak a peak, I see a road full of plex
No more gimmicks, critics say i'm more skilled, in fact
Hate to say I told you so, but honestly speekin
Finally got the respect I'm constantly seekin
After the aclaim think I'll settle down
One wife, two kids, I'm out the ghetto now
I'm lieing to myself, my life's a complete waste
A bitter-sweet sorrow, that's just how defeat taste's
I has been forgotten, I'm yesterday's news
No longer relevant, Jin wuz expected to loose
Can't see that is my destiny so I'm lookin past
My twenty-twenty vision blured thru tha lookin glass
At last I choose to walk a path of my own
I've com this far but the other half is unknown
Chorus 2x.
