Time Taker - Geto Boys
As I open my eyes unto a new day
I see the same old sh*t that I was face to face with yesterday
Its all the same and I can't change time
An example of a young ni**a trapped up and his brains dyin
I close my eyes to refrain my thoughts (open)
Open my eyes to remain untaught
Why my life gotta have a yesterday
Why can't I memorize tommorrow and live my life as just a day
A babys born and you hears moms cryin
Is she cryin cause that she's happy or the fact that she know she gone
Dyin
Probably some sh*t well never figure out
I think my mind is plotting plangs and my second mind is trying to take me
Out
I had a dream I think I saw a dude cause he had the looks that of a killer
And he sung to me these four tunes
He said life is like a game of dice
You roll em right the first time but you seldom get to roll em twice
Not understanding what he said doc
I find myself in the middle of life in an infa-red dot
So tell me doctor is you gettin that
Motherf**kers bustin at you with wheels now can you picture that
Thats why you find me an assult mind
Cause in this world we live together but divided by a chalk line
You wanted to hear my life story well I told you
Maybe theres answers to my question in your minila folder
What's the solution to this mind state
You tellin me its gonna take you some time how long do time take
I'm losing focus on this straight line
Ain't trying to wait for motherf**kers so now I'm forced to take time
Willie d:
I pull my popper out my trousers aimed it at his adbomen
And grabbed the mans life away from him in a moment
Angle dust and h****n and all of that I was on it
My opponent never knew what him
As I was bootin I heard him say get down someboys shootin
He didnt realize he was the target
I didnt realize what I was doing till he departed
Oh lord I'm feeling something I never felt black
I told his momma I was sorry she said sorry won't bring him back
God gave life to the human race and he alone has the right to take it away
So I tell me that I don't care
But every time I dim the lights I'm havin motherf**kin nightmares
Its been a year since I heard
And I can still smell the motherf**kin gunpowder
What does life mean to me
Id trade places with the man a heartbeat if I was granted peace
I try to wipe it out my memory
I saw a shrink but she couldn't provide a remedy
I'm public enemy number one
Waitin in line on death row to get the needle for what I done
Pretty soon I meet my maker
Thee creator the one and only true time taker
Bushwick bill:
How much more longer I got life left
You don't know thats why I live day for day and time it right and left
And try to take two steps at a time
Makin sure our opposition stays two steps behind
Keep in mind these niggas who wanna see me lettin go and sh*t
Thats why I fight for my life until its over with
I know these niggas havin hard times
Thats why I'm standing up and fighting for sh*t when it reguards mines
Why must I always sing these sad songs
Because they comforance all my feelings inside till all the bads gone
You wanna hear my life story well I told ya
Maybe theres answers to my question in you f**kin folder
What's the solution to this mind state
You tellin me its gonna take some time how long do time take
I'm losin focus on my straight linne
Ain't trying to wait for a motherf**kers so now I'm forced to take time
