Times Squared

[Verse 1: Rakaa] Let me explain it, it's always right now, ain't it? Graphic like a picture's worth a thousand words painted Is watching it pass by the pastime Or push the fast lane until the flat line saint it They say that it flies, but delicate to the touch You can repel it with a fingertip brush Plus the long way usually starts with trying to take shortcuts Chasing it runs blindsided brace for the rush Wipe your feet before you walk through the door Watch your step when the bridges burning Look at what these kids are learning Cattle works the farm, what wages she burning? Orbiting the axis, tables keep turning The world keeps spinning, you're born running out of minutes Shadow puppets on the sundial, polymath, outer limits Da Vinci painted Renaissance Man, better live it Better get it before later becomes never did it [Hook] We keep getting while the getting is good No spare time for average [?] We got to seize the time [?] It's now or never [Verse 2: Evidence] Am I left behind or just the only to stay? Once it's gone, it's impossible to find your way You can have it all, but can't collect it at once What you want, you used it worse and that's a curse on all fronts More to these stunts than increasing the speed Like the days teach much to what minutes didn't heed Marathon, what the fuck is your lead, we ain't racing That's you ahead of the BP, you're being too impatient I check my placement before I board Let the odds even up before we settle the score The word is out, we got war on the memory thief I heard the battle long life, but the ending is brief Known for healing, known for killing The same reason I know there's no ceiling The future isn't certain but today is always near So we tearing down these curtains when they try to interfere [Hook] [Outro] Let me explain it, it's always right now, ain't it? Man, let me try to explain this Time passes by You can have it all but not at once Man, let me try to explain this Time passes by Better get it before later becomes never did it
