Dilated Peoples - Times Squared lyrics

Yeah... ladies and gentlemen! (WHAT?) Front to back, side to side All my peoples.. we live! (They say, PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WOOOOOORLD!) GO! [Rakaa Iriscience:] Let me explain it, it's always right now, ain't it? Graphic like a picture's worth a thousand words painted Is watchin it pa** by their pasttime? Or push the fast lane 'til they flatline sayin it [beep] They say that it flies, but daily get to the touch You can repel it with a fingertip brush Plus the long way usually starts with trying to take shortcuts Chase 'til it runs, blindsided, brace for the rush Wipe your feet before you walk through the door, watch your step when your bridges burning, look at what these kids are learning sponsored links Cattle works the farm, what way's a sheep burden? Orbit in the axis, tables keep turning The world keeps spinnin, you're born runnin out of minutes Shadow puppets on a sun dial, polymath out of limits da Vinci pen it, Renaissance Man better livin Better get it before "later" becomes "never did it" [Chorus: cuts and scratches by DJ Babu] "We keep gettin while the gettin is good" - [M1] "With no spare time, forever's make records and j**els" - [Roc Marciano] "We got the seeds of time, y'all!" "It's now or never" [Evidence:] Am I, left behind or just the only to stay? Once it's gone, it's impossible to find your way ("Let me try to explain it..") You can have it all but can't collect it at once What you want you use the worst and that's a curse on all fronts More than these stunts than increasing the speed Like the days teach much to what minutes didn't heed Marathon, what the f** is your lead? We ain't racing That's you ahead of the beat, Pete, you 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 about a long life where the ending is brief Known for healing, known for k**ing The same reason I know there's no ceiling The future is uncertain but the day is always near So we tearing down these curtains when they try to interfere and it's time [Chorus] [Outro: DJ Babu cuts and scratches] "Let me explain it, it's always right now, ain't it?" "Man let me try to explain it, it ain't deep!" (TIME, PASSES, BY) "You can have it all but can't collect it at once" "Man let me try to explain this thang to you man!" (TIME, PASSES, BY) "Better get it before 'later' becomes 'never did it"'
