[Verse One: Biz Markie]
|
This is a story about without a doubt
|
When I'm done, you will all scream and shout
|
They always say time is on our side
|
If it is, why is it a rough ride?
|
If I could save time or return to the past
|
I would bring back the good times, hate to last
|
Like when I was the size of Jay-Z
|
Back when Ra was still with Eric B
|
Remember when friends was friends, and LL had a Benz?
|
And cell phones and beepers was the new trends?
|
When Koch was the mayor and Reagan was the Pres?
|
We listened to what other enemies said
|
|
[Chorus: Lil' Kal]
|
I wish there was somethin made, or somethin designed
|
Where I could turn back the hands of time
|
I wish there was somethin made, or somethin designed
|
Where I could turn back the hands of time
|
|
[Verse Two: Biz Markie]
|
I know y'all remember goin to Great Adventure
|
On Labor Day on the Beach in Virginia
|
The beginnin of the summer, at Jones Beach
|
When t-shirts, were ten dollars each
|
Didn't matter if you had a Lex, Beamer or a Benz
|
As long, as you had room for, all of the friends
|
Mr. Softee came through, or the Good Humor truck
|
When ice cream, was less than a buck
|
If it was up to me and I could turn back the clock
|
I'd bring Masterdon, Buffy, and Scott LaRock
|
So - please listen to my song and rhyme
|
If I can turn back the hands of time
|
|
[Chorus] w/ ad libs
|
|
[Verse Three: Biz Markie]
|
If I could turn time back in a rhyme
|
I'd bring back Bird, Magic, Jordan - in their prime
|
Remember the days OH, remember the days
|
When they had the high-top, fade craze
|
Want back Big Daddy Kane, Fresh Prince and Kid & Play
|
"Ohhh, what a beautiful day!"
|
When parties was parties, and clubs was clubs
|
You could tell the real MC's from all the scrubs
|
When havin your own style and originality
|
And your character and real personality
|
But I have to go, and off I sign
|
If I can turn back the hands of time
|
|
[Chorus] - 2X w/ ad libs
|
|
[Biz Markie]
|
I wish there was somethin made
|
Bring back Aaliyah! (Jam Master Jay)
|
I wish there was somethin made to bring back Biggie and Tupac
|
I wish there was somethin made to bring back Scott LaRock
|
I wish somethin bad, I wish there was somethin made
|
to bring back, Left Eye (Barry White)
|
I wish there was somethin to bring back my man Dahsil Masterdon
|
I wish there was somethin made to bring back my man Keith Cowboy
|
My man B.O., my man Step from Baltimore
|
I wish there was somethin to bring back
|
all the strange people that I knew that, was a part of my life
|
(For all of our loved ones that have passed away)
