Lyrics

[Intro] What? What? We do this time (Rock) Yes Let this music travel through you It's all about feeling Yeah, yo [Chorus] Yo, what's up, world? (Yo, what's up, world?), yo, what's happening? It's the C-double-O and I'm back again Take this back and then tell a friend Spaces and places you been, time travelin' (Time travelin') Time travelin' (Time travelin') Yo (Yo) [Verse] I was a piano player in my last lifetime Now I write rhymes, sip white wine, and let my light shine Out of dark space, with the world on my mind like Scarface Though my sex drive is like a car chase More than an uh, it's the peace of mind I chase Stakes are high like my uncle is We both got problems, he never confronted his Under the bridge I wrote some shit to stay afloat And paint a picture raw like the first coat Send my old man a note to keep his phone on My little cuz'll know that cheap tricks are homegrown Travel to a place sweeter than home Listenin' to Nina Simone, repeatin' the psalms To the sky, I'm keepin' my palms, facin' the east Actions macin' the beast, embracin' the streets My guy caught a case 'cause he beat his lady down It's two-thou', that ain't the way we lay it down Souls get found and lost at the roads they cross Many paid dues, but few knew the costs I ran through the moss like Randy Touchin' down with God, close friends, and family Recognize the voice in the wilderness Com Sense, '92, and I'm still in this Time travelin' (Time travelin') Took my turn in hand, 'bout what I learned and planned Jealousy, money, and pride can burn a man Some walk, but never learn to stand still Afraid to expand what they feel I'm dealin' with wakes, marriages, ATMs, Ericsson Loud niggas that whisper carelessness If we livin' in Revelation Why should the people of the sun have to run? Come to Esau, in a year, he'll have freedom He ask why I hadn't been to see him Really, I ain't have a good reason He said, "Rah, give back what you receivin'" In a race against time, I was caught In the same game as you, but long live the sport Time travelin' (Time travelin') [Chorus] Yo, what's up, world? Yo, what's happening? It's the C-double-O and I'm back again Take this back and then tell a friend Spaces and places you been, time travelin' (Time travelin') Time travelin' [Outro] Time travelin' Time travelin' (Time travelin') Yeah Yo, what's up, world? (Yo, what's up?), yo, what's happening? It's the C-double-O and I'm back again (And I'm back) Take this back and then tell a friend Spaces and places you been, time travelin' (Time travelin') Time travelin' (Time travelin') Time travelin' (Time travelin')
