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
