Picture me turning the hands of time
If I could turn back the hands of time
If I could turn back the hands of time
I would travel through the world, 
Bring justice to every crime
Back in ’48 I’d fight Zionist forces 
And make sure they couldn’t occupy Palestine
I would go to Rwanda in ’94, 
Seize all the weapons they had before they went to war
I would drive through Japan in the old beamer
Warn them of US plans to bomb Hiroshima  
I would … in the jungle with Che Guevara 
I’d let him now he’s the icon of the next era
In a view Malcolm X in a jail cell
Learn about the strength to fight and bid him farewell
Checked the Shakespeare, talk about poetic stuff
We’d both agree that hate is the twin of love
I would meet the prophet and … to say
Learn all the miracles of love that he demonstrates
If I could turn back the hands of time at 14
I would take away the fears that I had to rhyme
Drift away to the past and bring the dead alive
Let them know how much I loved them before they die
I would make sure mom never had to cry
Bring peace to my home, leave the beef aside
And extend all the times I enjoyed
Kicking back, … , chillin’ with my boys
If I could turn back the hands of time
If I could turn back the hands of time
If I could turn back the hands of time
If I could turn back, if I could turn back
If I could turn back the hands of time
If I could turn back the hands of time
If I could turn back the hands of time
I’d meet Einstein, Plato and Nostradamus
Take knowledge from them, the philosophic artists
In ’95 to see Tupac would be an honor
In ’86 I’d play football with Maradona 
I would free all slaves and kill fugitives
Go back thousands of years to see how humans lived
I would understand the world in a better way
Learn all the lessons from the past, bring a brighter day
Imagine me before 7th of July 
Convincing the bombers there’s no point for them to take lives
Imaging me shading light in the dark
As a kill George Bush before the war in Iraq
Imagine me in Guantanamo Bay 
As I open up the gates of hate and let them run away
Imagine me bleed deep every time I breathe
Weak on my knees and weep until I’m living free
Imagine me; one might make the world listen
Let them know what it’s like to live in cold Britain
I would change the streets and let them know the truth
Make a man drop his gun before he kills a youth
I would make your face smile if you had to cry, 
Live if you had to die, any wish is yours
What do you fantasize? 
If you could turn back the hands of time
What would you change? Only you decide
I would give a voice to those who couldn’t talk
Pump strength in your legs if you couldn’t walk
Give sight to your life if you couldn’t see
Make you believe and achieve the things you couldn’t be
I would steal from the rich so I could feed the poor 
Meet Robin Hood who screamed “fuck the law”
I’d make sure that the world would remember
My words, my songs, my life and my agenda
If I could turn back the hands of time
If I could turn back the hands of time
If I could turn back the hands of time
If I could turn back the hands of time
