If i could turn back the hands on all clocks
I’d rewind hip-hop back before biggie and pac got shot
Show them both what’s become of hip-hop
Smoke a l in memory cause real rap it is not
So they can stay away and live a couple more days
And create a new album that’s inspiring when it plays
In so many ways including anger and rage
Painting a perfect picture through scripture onto a page
I’d kick it with kurt before he blew out his brains
Ask him about the pleasures and pain living in fame
Show him the bloody walls and floors still stained
And his wife wrote that’s signed by his name
And next i’d visit malcolm x
And tеll him about his death he already еxpects
I’d beg him to ware a vest that he’d kindly reject
And say son my destiny says it’s time to rest
If i could turn back the hands of time
I would if i could but what if it did more bad than good
If i could turn back the hands of time
I’d just leave it alone and let our destiny unfold like it should
If i could turn back the hands of time
I would if i could but what if it did more bad than good
If i could turn back the hands of time
I’d just leave it alone and let our destiny unfold like it should
I’d go find einstein and talk about a design
And all the death and destruction it created over time
Tell him about the days that bombs light up the skies
Overseas and with ease many japanese die
I’d be there to meet chris when he found new land
And warn the natives of his true intentions and plan
Like the robbery and rape from the white mans hands
And forced into a christian religion that they don’t understand
In ancient times i would race to find alexander the great
Before he drank that wine and
Warn him about the poison mixed in it so fine
By the only people he trusted that wanted him to resign
I’d go back
And smoke a blunt with achilles
Toss him a pair of timbs and watch him conquer the city
Of troy and live to enjoy victory with me
Sipping wine with the kings concubines till were dizzy
If i could turn back the hands of time
I would if i could but what if it did more bad than good
If i could turn back the hands of time
I’d just leave it alone and let our destiny unfold like it should
If i could turn back the hands of time
I would if i could but what if it did more bad than good
If i could turn back the hands of time
I’d just leave it alone and let our destiny unfold like it should
And plus
I’d see what’s up with king tut
Have him teach me some hieroglyphics graffiti when i’m stuck
And meet the queen nefertiti to see if we can just f#ck
And sweetie would give in easy believe me i need no luck
I’d go watch the fight between david and goliath
Cause overcoming obstacles is something i admire
I’d watch the swing and then just fire
Knocking goliath to the ground making him retire
I’d shoot craps with adam and go flirt with eve
And kick her some knowledge about the snake in its tree
And tell her about the trickery it got up his sleeve
Tell her what ever happens you must always believe
I’d go see god before he created earth
Ask him what’s the meaning of life and what is it worth
Why he sacrifice and makes it hurt
Why he gave me the gift to write and why is it cursed
If i could turn back the hands of time
I would if i could but what if it did more bad than good
If i could turn back the hands of time
I’d just leave it alone and let our destiny unfold like it should
If i could turn back the hands of time
I would if i could but what if it did more bad than good
If i could turn back the hands of time
I’d just leave it alone and let our destiny unfold like it should
