| I only have three minutes… oh man… Where is he?
|
| Is that him? |
| I think that’s him… Yeah that’s him
|
| Hey you??? |
| Hey, hey you??? |
| Psssss hey you???
|
| Hey, hey, hey you? |
| Hey… (move out the way old man)
|
| Ok, ok, ok… hey… hey… hey… come here… come here!
|
| Would you believe I wrote these words when I was seventy-three?
|
| Travelled in a time machine and brought them back to me
|
| Minding my own business felt a tap on my shoulder
|
| Turned around, it was me but forty-four years older
|
| Took a long stare, walking stick, grey hair
|
| Old raincoat but still liked to wear Nike Air
|
| He said «DL I know you don’t believe what you see
|
| But it’s me» I said who? |
| He said «you» I said me?
|
| How could this be? |
| This the kind of thing you only
|
| See on TV and you ain’t Marty Mcfly
|
| You ain’t Doc Brown, he told me to «Shut up and sit down
|
| I got a lot of things to tell you Dun so don’t make a sound
|
| Only had 3 minutes so take my advice
|
| And listen to me carefully cos I can’t say it twice
|
| Cos this the point of time you gotta change up your life
|
| See back in 2051 you got me paying the price
|
| And it’s a hard life if the truth be told
|
| And the world there is run by 14 year olds
|
| They doing drug deals right under the Governments nose
|
| Twelve year old girls that’s pregnant and smoke bones
|
| And every other person walking round is a clone
|
| And we all saw it coming and we knew it was wrong
|
| But the world did nothing and time moved on
|
| So I had to come back to you and give you this song»
|
| Wait a minute, pause… I don’t believe you
|
| You trying to say that ya me and this a preview?
|
| Of what my life will be like as a old man?
|
| Get with the program, is this a joke man?
|
| «I told you shut up, listen and never interrupt»
|
| But wait old man, what I’m supposed to do about us?
|
| «Uh you can’t change the world but you can change your life
|
| And it starts with the way you represent on the mic
|
| Spit smarter, stronger, wiser, bolder» Why’s that?
|
| «Or I’m who you’re gonna be when you’re older
|
| A tired old man who ain’t got nothing to show for his life
|
| You’re young enough to make things right
|
| Take a old school beat like one from the nineties
|
| Loop up a piano then make it sound grimey
|
| And take this piece of paper of these words I wrote
|
| And quote and make sure it sounds real dope, I gotta go»
|
| Yo hold up, I got some questions to ask
|
| You say my future is your distant past?
|
| Well do I have kids and do I get married? |
| (Hmmmh)
|
| With his benevolence he told me «That's irrelevant
|
| Concentrate on being good willed and be a Gentleman
|
| And keep the fire in your heart from dying
|
| And don’t try to be the best but be the best at trying
|
| You a young blood and got so much to do in your life
|
| Make sure you know the difference between wrong and right»
|
| Then he stood and looked me dead in the eye and told me
|
| «When you old and looking in the mirror my man
|
| I hope you never see me cos if you do then you failed
|
| Your three minutes is up», then he vanished! |
