Turn Back The Hands Of Time

This is a story about without a doubt

When I'm done, you will all scream and shout

They always say time is on our side

If it is, why is it a rough ride?

If I could save time or return to the past

I would bring back the good times, hate to last

Like when I was the size of Jay-Z

Back when Ra was still with Eric be

Remember when friends was friends, and LL had a Benz?

And cell phones and beepers was the new trends?

When Koch was the mayor and Reagan was the Pres?

We listened to what other enemies said

I wish there was somethin' made, or somethin' designed

Where I could turn back the hands of time

I wish there was somethin' made, or somethin' designed

Where I could turn back the hands of time

I know why'all remember goin' to Great Adventure

On Labor Day on the Beach in Virginia

The beginnin' of the summer, at Jones Beach

When t-shirts, were ten dollars each

Didn't matter if you had a Lex, Beamer or a Benz

As long, as you had room for, all of the friends

Mr. Softee came through, or the Good Humor truck

When ice cream, was less than a buck

If it was up to me and I could turn back the clock

I'd bring Masterdon, Buffy, and Scott LaRock

So please listen to my song and rhyme

If I can turn back the hands of time

If I could turn time back in a rhyme

I'd bring back Bird, Magic, Jordan in their prime

Remember the days OH, remember the days

When they had the high-top, fade craze

Want back Big Daddy Kane, Fresh Prince and Kid & Play

"Ohhh, what a beautiful day!"

When parties was parties, and clubs was clubs

You could tell the real MC's from all the scrubs

When havin' your own style and originality

And your character and real personality

But I have to go, and off I sign

If I can turn back the hands of time

I wish there was somethin' made

Bring back Aaliyah! (Jam Master Jay)

I wish there was somethin' made to bring back Biggie and Tupac

I wish there was somethin' made to bring back Scott LaRock

I wish somethin' bad, I wish there was somethin made

to bring back, Left Eye (Barry White)

I wish there was somethin' to bring back my man Dahsil Masterdon

I wish there was somethin' made to bring back my man Keith Cowboy

My man B.O., my man Step from Baltimore

I wish there was somethin' to bring back

All the strange people that I knew that, was a part of my life

(For all of our loved ones that have passed away)
