Example - Today I Met Myself lyrics
rate meI get the petrol don't forget to buy a couple of sweets<br />
<br />
Sometimes I like to treat myself if only once a week<br />
<br />
Open the door, get in the car, sit in the driverís seat<br />
<br />
Peer into the rearview mirror and im staring back at me<br />
<br />
When I say me I don't mean me as in my own reflection<br />
<br />
Hardly slept so I suspect im staring at some weird projection<br />
<br />
My brain has made to tell me alcohol abuse is wrong<br />
<br />
Whereupon, I turn around and realise somethings going on:<br />
<br />
Trust me son, this aint a con, you have to trust your eyeballs<br />
<br />
Know those eyes are fine because they're mine so don't be stifled<br />
<br />
You're slightly balder now and yes your pubes are turnin grey<br />
<br />
But you've travelled back in time cos there's important shit to say<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't do that (nope) / they'll try to dupe ya<br />
<br />
Don't do this (nah) / they'll try to shoot ya<br />
<br />
Don't do her (grim!) / she didn't suit ya<br />
<br />
Today I met myself and I told me bout my future<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So im sat in the front and sat in the back, as you do havin a chat<br />
<br />
Asking bout the change in rap and where the musics at<br />
<br />
I'm careful not to tell myself entirely everything<br />
<br />
I've come here just to warn me as to what the future brings:<br />
<br />
Oi, Listen, El, surely you can see that you're me<br />
<br />
I'm you, look at the lips, you really cant ignore me<br />
<br />
I know that in that bag there's ginger beer and curly-wurlys<br />
<br />
It's kinda hurly burly but you must believe my story<br />
<br />
I know you tasted glory, was all hunky dory, <br />
<br />
Now you're standing on the borderline, today's the day your sure to find, <br />
<br />
You don't know where to draw the line, this is the start of your decline<br />
<br />
That's why I came back exactly 15 years before your sordid crime<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't do that (nope) / they'll try to dupe ya<br />
<br />
Don't do this (nah) / they'll try to shoot ya<br />
<br />
Don't do her (grim!) / she didn't suit ya<br />
<br />
Today I met myself and I told me bout my future<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Freakin out, I been sneakin bout<br />
<br />
Feelin edgy bout the fact that I've seeked me out<br />
<br />
Im freakin out, I been sneakin bout<br />
<br />
And I've sat inside my car and started speakin bout<br />
<br />
What's yet to come<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It seems most of what the future has to hold for me is decent<br />
<br />
But recently my future self was caught having a threesome<br />
<br />
One of the girls was underage with fake identification<br />
<br />
The other one was legal but her father's occupation<br />
<br />
Was head of a group of hoodlums from just south of the Thames<br />
<br />
The entire episode was captured from a hidden lens<br />
<br />
They found some substances inside the glove box of my car<br />
<br />
So I'm front page of the sun, the mirror and the daily star<br />
<br />
I'm either goin down for twenty or thugs are out to get me<br />
<br />
My walls are bout to crumble which is why I went and sent me<br />
<br />
Back in time, prevent the crime, avoid Jane and Amy<br />
<br />
It seems my future selfís a prick but really who can blame me<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't do that (nope) / they'll try to dupe ya<br />
<br />
Don't do this (nah) / they'll try to shoot ya<br />
<br />
Don't do her (grim!) / she didn't suit ya<br />
<br />
Today I met myself and I told me bout my future
<br />
