[Verse 1: Gift of Gab]
I remember when we all was geeked
Hit the bu*ton press play and hear all the beats
Every pa**er-by stopped so they all could see
The fulfillment and the fruition of all they dreams
Back then it was so much fun
So many laughs, so much ganja, so much rum
Fresh out the b with plans to get so much done
Livin' in the college Town with so much young
Enthusiasm, everybody focused to win
Where I was from everyone was smokin' to grin
This new heavy struggle never ended it seemed
Till I woke up to the fact that I was livin' my dream
Now I'm going everywhere: London, Rome, and Japan
I quit my day job, bummin' and broke to havin'
A glimpse a small slice of the American dream
Now life is feelin' better than I thought it ever could be
I think I'll go with this...
[Chorus]
Looking back, some will climb
The futures unknown with the twist of time
Who come bearin' lessons and gifts combined
In the mental hidin', begin to find 'em
Looking back, some will climb
No one's a mistake they're just not aligned
And life can be great when you hit your stride
It's the blissful ride of the twist of time
[Verse 2: Gift of Gab]
(Out on turn on the TV)
All of us they threw our song on, MTV gettin'
Interview from Who(?) and Lala
The crowds aren't static when we on the stage
Doin' our job, we winnin' now we doin' it
It's time that we go all out - rock rock rock
Rockin' the stage showin' utter command
And the first time in my life, loanin' money to fam
Crew expansion out the wood-works people comin' to jam
Accolades from my heroes, damn how cunning is
Advocations out relaxin' places livin' in life and study
Spendin' the cash and maybe livin' the nexus
Really I'm feelin' blessed and very limited stress with the
In-consider hearing from the I-R-S.... Damn...
[Chorus]
Looking back, some will climb
The futures unknown with the twist of time
Who come bearin' lessons and gifts combined
In the mental hidin', begin to find 'em
Looking back, some will climb
No one's a mistake, they just not aligned
And life can be great when you hit your stride, it's the
Blissful ride of the twist of time
[Verse 3: Gift of Gab]
And now the world is very different
It's bug when you start to see your young relatives get big
I blew a lotta dough but now I'm grown so hey let's get it
I've tampered with my health
But now I'm workin' on redemption
Songs in the key of time as it keeps twistin'
It's a roller-coaster ride so hop on before you miss it
And it feels good to be healthy, grown and so gifted
Time will move we goin' with it
Music flowin' so infinite - lookin' back!
[Chorus]
Looking back, some will climb
The futures unknown with the twist of time
Who come bearin' lessons and gifts combined
In the mental hidin', begin to find 'em
Looking back, some will climb
No one's a mistake, they just not aligned
And life can be great when you hit your stride, it's the
Blissful ride of the twist of time
