Time Machine

[Intro] What if, you knew then what you know now? Or what if you know now, what you wish you knew then? That's what I ask you Lets go [Verse 1: Jin] A wise man once told me life is what you make it Bare witness to the lies simply cause' the truth is naked My thoughts are sacred yet I share em' with the masses I intend to be around when the 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 course 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 if it's your last I wish I could 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 had a time machine I'd go back in a flash Tell myself "you ain't nothing but a thing of the past" So let's go, ain't got time for none of ya'll to borrow And Why not? Cause' today is yesterday's tomorrow [Chorus] Jump in my time machine and go back in a flash Tell myself "you ain't nothing but a thing of the past" So let's go, ain't got time for none of ya'll to borrow And Why not? Cause' today is yesterday's tomorrow [Verse 2: Jin] For the sake of argument let's say I did find a way And was capable of going back to any time or day Like September eleven, then I'd have the chance to Beg and plead until every last flight was 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 assassins And meeting Bruce would 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] If I had a time machine I'd go back in a flash Tell myself "you ain't nothing but a thing of the past" So let's go, ain't got time for none of ya'll to borrow And why not? Cause' today is yesterday's tomorrow [Chorus] Jump in my time machine and go back in a flash Tell myself "you ain't nothing but a thing of the past" So let's go, ain't got time for none of ya'll to borrow And why not? Cause' today is yesterday's tomorrow [Verse 3: Jin] 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 speaking Finally got the respect I'm constantly seeking After the acclaim think I'll settle down One wife, two kids, I'm out the ghetto now I'm lying 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 was expected to loose Can't see that is my destiny so I'm lookin' past My twenty-twenty vision blurred through the lookin' glass At last I choose to walk a path of my own I've come this far but the other half is unknown [Chorus] If I had a time machine I'd go back in a flash Tell myself "you ain't nothing but a thing of the past" So let's go, ain't got time for none of ya'll to borrow Andwhy not? Cause' today is yesterday's tomorrow [Chorus] Jump in my time machine and go back in a flash Tell myself "you ain't nothing but a thing of the past" So let's go, ain't got time for none of ya'll to borrow And why not? Cause' today is yesterday's tomorrow [The beat continues]
