Twist Of Time - Blackalicious

I remember when we all was geeked

Hit the button press play and hear all the beats

Every passer-by stopped so they all could see

The fulfillment and the fruition of all they dreams

Back then it was so much fun

So many laughs, so much ganja, so much rum

Fresh out the b with plans to get so much done

Livin' in the college Town with so much young

Enthusiasm, everybody focused to win

Where I was from everyone was smokin' to grin

This new heavy struggle never ended it seemed

Till I woke up to the fact that I was livin' my dream

Now I’m going everywhere: London, Rome, and Japan

I quit my day job, bummin' and broke to havin'

A glimpse a small slice of the American dream

Now life is feelin' better than I thought it ever could be

I think I’ll go with this…

Looking back, some will climb

The futures unknown with the twist of time

Who come bearin' lessons and gifts combined

In the mental hidin', begin to find 'em

Looking back, some will climb

No one’s a mistake they’re just not aligned

And life can be great when you hit your stride

It’s the blissful ride of the twist of time

(Out on turn on the TV)

All of us they threw our song on, MTV gettin'

Interview from Who (?) and Lala

The crowds aren’t static when we on the stage

Doin' our job, we winnin' now we doin' it

It’s time that we go all out — rock rock rock

Rockin' the stage showin' utter command

And the first time in my life, loanin' money to fam

Crew expansion out the wood-works people comin' to jam

Accolades from my heroes, damn how cunning is

Advocations out relaxin' places livin' in life and study

Spendin' the cash and maybe livin' the nexus

Really I’m feelin' blessed and very limited stress with the

In-consider hearing from the I-R-S… Damn…

Looking back, some will climb

The futures unknown with the twist of time

Who come bearin' lessons and gifts combined

In the mental hidin', begin to find 'em

Looking back, some will climb

No one’s a mistake, they just not aligned

And life can be great when you hit your stride, it’s the

Blissful ride of the twist of time

And now the world is very different

It’s bug when you start to see your young relatives get big

I blew a lotta dough but now I’m grown so hey let’s get it

I’ve tampered with my health

But now I’m workin' on redemption

Songs in the key of time as it keeps twistin'

It’s a roller-coaster ride so hop on before you miss it

And it feels good to be healthy, grown and so gifted

Time will move we goin' with it

Music flowin' so infinite — lookin' back!

Looking back, some will climb

The futures unknown with the twist of time

Who come bearin' lessons and gifts combined

In the mental hidin', begin to find 'em

Looking back, some will climb

No one’s a mistake, they just not aligned

And life can be great when you hit your stride, it’s the

Blissful ride of the twist of time
