There Is Only Now

[Produced by Adrian Younge] [Tajai] The past is an illusion, there is only now! The future is a fiction, there is only now! A brief intermission, there is only now! Of this there is no question, there is only now! And if I get too lifted, would you hold me down? And if you think I'm slipping, would you show me how? The future is a fiction, there is only now! [A-Plus:] Check it! It was the kind of love Most people only find it once Divinely touched by angels; There was no time for lust [Opio:] Plus some'll tell that a teenage love Will never last Looking through the glass of past scars Fast forward to the future Where the youth Them are a-changing [A-Plus:] But this couple don't care what you saying They're hearts blazing Can't nobody tell 'em nothing Their love is unstoppable [Opio:] Overcome any obstacle Together they will always grow (Don't let go, I'm holding on) He know they saying take it slow To him it's taking long (Safest place is in your arms) Her daddy saying this ain't right; To her it can't be wrong (Baby, if we hold on a little while longer cause the love is so strong You know that I would die If you left me) I pray this feeling never leaves me, I want it forever And I'll do anything To see that we always together Whatever; It takes for something that no one can sever Together, forever, whatever It takes for something that no one can sever And I'll do anything To see that we always together Forever, together Together, forever [Snoop Dogg:] What's love? Can you imagine being told, by the old This ain't right, fuss and fight Don't you roll, it's so cold What's your mold, will he break Or will he fold? They on him, they want him; The homie Stoney In love with his girl and so is his big homie Now what a pity; A footnote to the cutthroat, it's rare See, I was told all in love is unfair One fee, one fare, done there Fishing, dishing, and wishing upon air Vision beyond years Damn, people always pushing the wrong way See my advice to the homie Stoney Is do it your own way, the long way And hear what the song say Together, forever, forever, together, you dig? See, this what it's supposed to boast And get close and be with the one that you truly love the most It's destiny [Tajai:] The past is an illusion, there is only now [Phesto:] They already move Planets and moons The plan is to vanish and move Flip a townhouse down south Pow wows with the gals Out bound fishing boat Where the city folks sip and smoke Then these folks pushing the envelope Which extended hope To a inner-most impulse His desire for a child undisclosed [Tajai:] Deep inside a fire took hold The moment that the plot was shown Visions of intermingled souls Matching afros, juleps on a creaky porch Life at a slower tempo No regulations to encroach upon their relations Cantankerous kinfolks, damn If they can't accept us then we gonna scram (Can't hide the way that I'm feeling for you My emotions can't be concealed -I was in love And together you and I will show the world -I wanted him to be the only one Our love is for real -I was in love) [Tajai:] The past is an illusion, there is only now, now A brief intermission, there is only now Of this there is no question, there is only now And if I get too lifted, would you hold me down? And if you think I'm slipping, would you show me how? The future is a fiction, there is only now The past is an illusion, there is only now, now
