TIME - Land Before Time lyrics

rate me

Dark, dismal and black

Over ran with the wack

No creativity or innovation

Radio worshipped like nativity

Void of creation

No pens, not enough patience

Nothing thought out, punch lines bitten

In school yards, lunch line freestyles actually written

Battles drowned in vulgarity and yo mama jokes

Before time, no messages with clarity to entertain folks

Past descendants a parody of I'll

The future destiny soaks

Fanatics stalk idles with invisible cloaks

Miserable scriptures

Freedom attained from liberal mixtures

Framed these paintings, hip hop's realism

Abstract thoughts paint the picture

Lands filled with thieves, bandits and ignorant emcees

Those who gave up on faith demanded god for a sign

Low patience and high hopes leads to an unbearable climb

I've saw men living my dreams

Accomplishing goals and acting out visions I've seen

I've saw men living my dreams

I've saw my guardian angel scream

I've saw suicide victims sing

I've saw peasants become queens

And idiots become kings

I've saw puppets walk with man

And humans with strings

I've saw oceans of bodies

Blue grass and skies green

I've seen tears

And blood filled streams

I've saw hate

You'll see a father walk on water before he talks to his daughter

Speak without speaking

And witness a genocide without slaughter

A holocaust of emotions

Hollow but lost

Five gears, no breaks happily coasting

Perfection is no limitations, eating and never feeling full

Flying high on other dimensions with Jonathan Livingston seagull

Just believe

Why should I? If it's something I can't see

I took a chance to be free

Leaped off the cliff and hit an invisible platform

Grinned at spaceships who left pastures of flat corn

Went back in time, pushed Lincoln out the way merely leaving his hat torn

I thought time was linear but hawking said it was an arrow

Bull's-eye hit for the future leaving behind retro kid games

Why's there monkeys in barrels?

But what happens when the bows device strikes the sparrow

Humans were too busy killing over colors and mocking the bird

You could sprint in my shoes but walking a day is absurd

Throw your skillets in the air

Let the non believers see a flying saucer

Can't bury these tales

Burn the plagued bodies dying with Chaucer

Ghosts, walk towards the light

Crying in front of a lamp post

Making music is just a bunch of stress

People want to use you to help themselves

Television's Uncle Sam's brainwash kit

I hate everyone (I hate everyone)

I used to like to do shows

But now I don't seem to fit

I laugh when people tell me I'm good I'm used to patronizes and their bullshit

I can't sleep the laughter keeps me awake

I drift off but started by a child's subtle shake

No one there but myself in this foreign land to witness

And there's no pill for my home sickness

You need eyes to sleep but you don't need legs to leap

Before you jump off that mountain

Count your blessings a flick a coin into that fountain

I've saw men living my dreams

Accomplishing goals and acting out visions I've seen

I've saw men living my dreams

I've saw my guardian angel scream

I've saw suicide victims sing

I've peasants become queens

And idiots become kings

I've saw puppets walk with man

And humans with strings

I've saw oceans of bodies

Blue grass and skies green

I've saw tears

And blood filled streams

I've saw hate

In the land before time

There's no seconds, minutes or hours

Just the present clerics cower

Hypnotic therapy clinics booked

To cleanse the minds of the foresights of the apocalyptic meteor showers

Prophets forecast a poetical being with a vampire's reflection

Time, conceived not from Immaculate Conception

But from the absence of a condom's protection

Men tell women to wash their clothes and make them food

Then when the time comes

You wonder why they have a headache and not in the mood

I fly biplanes and land with no insects crushed on my windshield

And by the way, the customer's not always right

In fact they lie to steal

Far from divine and far from sacred

Time searches for pens strips them of their ink and leaves them naked

I piss yellow and bleed red

Never seen anywhere cause I'm always walking in the mist

Citizens notice four horses but didn't sense apocalypse

Too many emcees got the dough but not the chocolate chips

I fathered all my words, while false poets used adoption

Populace poisoned from the tap waters toxins

I grabbed a microphone and received more strength then a dozen oxen

Destroyed demo ep's so terrible that on ebay

Even your cousin couldn't auction

The shepherd hit me

I laughed and turned the other cheek

Later that evening I returned and burned his flock of sheep

Now he's staring in the mirror infested with insomnia

Nothing to count in order to sleep

Perhaps, again if my lungs collapse

I pray that hopefully

When I can't breathe you all choke for me
