Remember

If you could go back and change your past
Would you do it?
If your future could change your today
Would you want today changed?

Dude with a free spirit type mentality
Had a slightly different look on reality
He figured his memories wasn't stored in his brain but rather
He was time traveling connected by a cord or a string

Literally there in the time of the past
So remembering "that time" meant he was mentally time traveling fast
Like fire and gas, explosions of possibilities
He began to imagine, if he had mastered this craft

He could become his own person guide
If he listened to his future self, who was the first to decide
The decisions that he hadn't yet made
He could send himself warnings to prevent himself from making mistakes

So he began to meditate on his past
Telling the "old him" at what points he shouldn't have taken what path
And he promised to do it, 'til his breath was his last
So he could flow like fluid, from the future to the

(Now) What it do
(Then) What it done
(Now) What it is
(Then) What it was
(Now) What it be
(Then) What it been
The now comes from way back

(When) The cause
(When) The cause
(When) The cause
(When) The cause
(When) You respect that cause and effect
(Then) You set, you can take the next step

With his new found key to the Universe
He would see soon if it works
When he needed some help in the present
His own presence was felt
'Cause his future worked hard to replay the cards he was dealt

So, he set his intentions to stay on the path of his visions
Money, cars and mansions was his mission
The pursuit of a high standard of living
Achieved by a next level type self-dependence

He did everything right, day and night
Never lost sight and to him, his future was bright
He spent years in blood sweat and tears and
He listened from within and not with his ears

He stayed active remembering and gained in assistance 'til
He realized he hadn't covered no distance
No extra money was made, so he prayed to himself
He said, "Myself, I need help"

(Now) What it do

(When) The cause
(When) The cause

The future (The future)
The future already accomplished
The wealth (The wealth)
But the past didn't know that the future
Hated himself (Hated himself)
The money grew but so did the greed, his guilt created
His hell (His Hell)
It left him all alone with nobody else

He said "I gotta fix this
I'mma help my past bypass this sickness
Perhaps if I just strip this cash I won't be spiritless
Travel back and rescript this

Battle attack his listed wishes 'cause I won't last
I will have to reinsert, rebirth, revisit
'Cause it's just a fact there's nothing I can do for me"

But the real deal they didn't know
That it was all happing at the same time
Yo (What?) break form
Mind blown from inside ya pinecone
