Nowhere Fast |
| Now you, who ever you are, |
| as you’re listening to what I’m going to say, |
| will probably not want to believe what I’m going to tell you. |
| And there isn’t any way in which I can make you believe; |
| I can only state the facts as they are |
| and hope that you will really believe me. |
| Hey yester-day you were supposed to meet me now I got to testify |
| I waited hours for you guess that all was just a lie |
| Figured you stepped inside soon enough you said good bye |
| Peace Out! |
| I’m gone and won’t be back! |
| I head your echo cry |
| Oh how the seconds fly left without a second try |
| I check and try to recollect how I just let you die |
| And now I wallow in these severed ties |
| Of Yesterday |
| Of yester-day girl your really gone I guess that’s how it just should be I had big plans for us today but now you’re history |
| Today’s a mystery you took pieces I miss of me |
| I keep on diggin deep tryin to find that kid in me We had some really good discussions back then didn’t we? |
| Befriended me but now we don’t speak like we’re enemies |
| And all I got is memories |
| Of yesterday |
| But Yester-day memories are priceless and I’m really glad you left em There etched inside I take a ride when driftin through the spectrum |
| It's just at times I dwell and dwell and then I have to catch up To now while back in time it ceased to march it just kept on I want you back I want you back when it was here I slept on What I appreciate a little more |
| now as a blessing |
| Now I’m complaining and regretting |
| About yesterday |
| And I’m just goin nowhere fast |
| CHORUS: woman’s voice (repeat 2X) |
| I don’t try to stay here |
| I just fly away here |
| Out of my oasis |
| I am not complacent |
| Your stuck in a flurry of illusions goin nowhere fast |
| I am today I’m all that ever was and ever is and uh It is an honor, don’t become a mental prisoner |
| Just listen to the now and keep your mind from driftin off |
| I am the mission, the position of this instance uh New opportunity to get the love your wishin for |
| To kick the door in to look for your ambitions, what? |
| You can move on out to elevate your existence up Today |
| I’m just today, I’m just the way I am |
| I am ever single day I am |
| I’m February, April, March and even May I am |
| I'm only what you make me hope I'm what you pray I am Today I am, I'm never really far away I am You better scope me like the hunter does the prey I am You play I am out in the picture |
| yes today I am |
| I’m everything your memory say I am Today |
| So seize me, I’m here to serve you if you serve me back |
| It’s easy, but difficult that’s time alone squeeze me From beaming your feet when your all your actions turn to banking |
| An inkling, a hint, I’m moving faster than your blinking |
| So treat to just a slice of heaven why you cheat me? |
| Deceive me and now I’m hell inside these thoughts that link me To flesh the soul it’s bound to I was truly made to be free |
| Today |
| Instead I’m going nowhere fast |
| Chorus (repeat 2X) |
| Sample (scratched by chief Xcel): |
| I’m only saying this to show how all around |
| man or beast sleep away there gift of time |
| and never know the beauty of a good life below |
| I’m bout to change the way I’m livin homey |
| I’m eatin vegan, no ham or baloney |
| I’m startin off my day with yoga stretches |
| I’m bout to master self to study lessons |
| I’m swearin off the weed and alcohol |
| I won’t be affected by doubts at all |
| The sky’s the limit, watch I’m bout to ball |
| I’m spendin every single dollar wisely |
| I’m writin songs that’s bumpin like the Eisleys |
| I’ll have the answers you can all confide in me Nothin the day could bring that will surprise me |
| I’m buildin to the fullest every minute |
| I’m through talkin the talk, I’m bout to live it Ain’t even started yet, I’m at the finish line |
| Man I can’t wait until it’s here I’m sayin |
| Oh what, you haitin? |
| What, you think I’m playin? |
| You think I ain’t just go ahead and watch me |
| I’ll use the lessons yesterday has taught me |
| I’m countin hours, minutes even seconds |
| Man I can’t even sleep, I’ll build my Heaven |
| Oh what, it here? |
| Oh, oh what, it’s what? |
| Don’t even trip, just give me one more day |
| It’s really gonna be on tomorrow |
| Chorus (repeat to end) |
| Your stuck in a flurry of illusions goin nowhere fast (repeat 3X) |
| Sample: |
| There we are. |
| All finished. |
| And you don’t know how much I appreciate your pardon. |
| Watch out blazing arrow |
| Do it just how you talk it Nigga rolled in and walk it Stick a toe in the water |
| Don’t falter, go on and fall in Tell me, do you know your calling? |
| Yo, what your mission is fella? |
| I caught this vision when I met a fortune teller |
| In New Orleans French Quarter |
| on the bus bench an arbitrary corner |
| Sorta scary looking elder woman showed up outta nowhere |
| She stared into my eyes and said |
| Sure as eyes green |
| You were conceived and walk the earth |
| Spit that heat, purifying I believe. |
| So are you ready for your cleansin? |
| Cause this is only the beginning. |
