Twist of Time Blackalicious

[Verse 1: Gift of Gab]
I remember when we all was geeked
Hit the button press play and hear all the beats
Every passer-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
