Lyrics for Time Travels

I got something And I don't know how to use it And if I'm something Then I just hope that I don't lose me My transparent universe Is waiting on my return And I'll be back for you I'll be back for you in time (I'll be back for you) (I'm a growing being believing in me so if I ever leave) I'll be back for you in time (I promise never to leave my dignity behind, I promise) I'll be back for you in time (And I won't leave it too long, the search will go on, to find the man inside) I'll be back for you in time (Time) (Well, timing is the essence, I wonder if you'd ever get it) I'll be back for you in time Oh, active security, violation and truancy Tryna protect what's close to my heart Nothing that's new to me, what can you prove to me? It's not me you need to show that you're worthy Don't disturb me, this painful life will not hurt me No way, better give me thirty-mil before I'm thirty Going down this long road and if it doesn't end well then alert me I'm unfolding this gift from God like Christmas time came early I will change this world with words and mark my words coz that's certi That's Space Age, we ain't earthly And I can't believe the absurdity, like people don't have a brain But fuck it I do and that's for eternity I'm generalising not finger-picking My nigga don't take it personally I hope my raps will never be watered down So it could all work commercially No way, Jos茅 Time-travel, link up with Bob, bun a zeg Come back, chill with the fam, link MJ, travel again (Hah) Talk about it, read about it And now my whole fucking scene's about it Back and forth do I go And I just find my way home Space I got something And I don't know how to use it And if I'm something Then I just hope that I don't lose me My transparent universe Is waiting on my return And I'll be back for you I'll be back for you in time (I'll be back for you) (I'm a growing being believing in me so if I ever leave) I'll be back for you in time (I promise never to leave my dignity behind, I promise) I'll be back for you in time (And I won't leave it too long, the search will go on, to find the man inside) I'll be back for you in time (Time) (Well, timing is the essence, I wonder if you'd ever get it) I'll be back for you in time I'll be back with some weed bags And the best beat CD you'll see, believe that I could beat that, I believe that Every second is a present I look forward to the present more than I look at the floor (Floor) It's fucking up my posture in a position to be bored But I just really hate eye contact And I hate frauds, and I hate lies mate I don't know what I hate more Money or the fact that that's what people fucking hate for I just wanna press the button coloured red and settle after In my rocket with my rocket and a socket and a charger Charge the batteries for the time machine that don't exist yet I'm just tryna travel to the future so I did that Maybe that's why I'm so different to the artist and the listener From a different era Maybe you'll understand when I stand before you Well, understand before you So I stand before you Space, the clan, will show you another side to another life If we're worlds apart I can't see your face no more On my radius, it's dangerous And I can't bear no more I'm in this cycle With my eyes closed And I go around and I go around Rou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound (And I go) Oh, rain darts all over the playground Space now, all kicks better stay down Embrace how these words time-travel all the way back from Earth Been a little shining star from birth I ain't even gassed over these perks It's just how life will change from Marilyn to the range My sound will keep evolving, don't complain 'Cause it's strange, just be open minded Taking over now who's behind it Lost a love but I bet I'll find it That's that shit I know is priceless That's that shit I know is timeless Taking off to somewhere and I might just never come back But for now listen to the hook when Tilla sings that, oh I got something And I don't know how to use it And if I'm something Then I just hope that I don't lose me My transparent universe Is waiting on my return And I'll be back for you I'll be back for you in time (I'll be back for you) (I'm a growing being believing in me so if I ever leave) I'll be back for you in time (I promise never to leave my dignity behind, I promise) I'll be back for you in time (And I won't leave it too long, the search will go on, to find the man inside) I'll be back for you in time (Time) (Well, timing is the essence, I wonder if you'd ever get it) I'll be back for you in time Dinosaurs will be back bitch. (Ooh!)
