Time Machine (feat. Khingz) [GT Remix]
My past was stolen from me
Stolen from me
And no one knew
Did you know that's why your soul is hungry
Why you try to fill it up with cars, clothes, doe, and fucking
That shit don't ever work
It don't ever work
Some of my peoples came here to escape the hurt
And collide with those who came here in chains
To break the earth
And all of us have to recreate our sense of worth
While being told that we're senseless
But I can feel it, I can taste it, I can see it,
I can smell it, I can hear it
Whenever them speakers bleeding
When life gets me screaming
I hop in this time machine
And I bleed with the ghost
I'm needing your laughter lately
Whatever made you not suicide when they stole your baby
What saved you in the south, Yellow girl, facing the crazy
Whatever made you search for healing in another's touch
Whatever made you freestyle without giving a fuck
And I don't need no hoverboards
And I'll provide the fucking lightning
I know my life's more privileged
And I don't, I don't take it lightly
Someone will need our music
When life gets fucking frightening
So we provide something to ride with
While rhyming with a certain time machine
Made of music
You feel what you don't see
It rides through your vessels
Connecting you to a sea of ancestors
Who prayed you would be free
And everything you see
They were just imagining
A machine made of music
You feel what you don't see
It rides through your vessels
Connecting you to a sea of ancestors
Who prayed you would be free
And everything you see
They were just imagining
About music
The way I heal, the way I pray
My sanctuary when the world isn't safe
These are lives saved on songs laid
My soul's bare
In dusty recordings
My home's there
Between a whole planet and nowhere
To feel complete is a fleeting moment
That's so rare
Time traveling from a land with no air
To go wherever you need to
For everyone who dreamed you
In spite of those who denied, didn't listen, didn't see you
I will break the laws of physics if I need to to reach you
We've been folding space
Back and forth in a continuum
Of African music
Reinvented for the spirits of our people to connect
And the energy to rise up
Where I got my heart broke
Is how I learned about love
I choose to love again
Every time I pick a mic up
You call it hip-hop
But I know it's ancient
Cause of my time machine
Made of music
You feel what you don't see
It rides through your vessels
Connecting you to a sea of ancestors
Who prayed you would be free
And everything you see
They were just imagining
A machine made of music
You feel what you don't see
It rides through your vessels
Connecting you to a sea of ancestors
Who prayed you would be free
And everything you see
They were just imagining
A machine made of music
You feel what you don't see
It rides through your vessels
Connecting you to a sea of ancestors
Who prayed you would be free
And everything you see
They were just imagining
Everything that you see they were just imagining
Everything that you see they were just imagining
Everything that you see they were just imagining
It's that Colored Peoples Time Machine
Stolen from me
And no one knew
Did you know that's why your soul is hungry
Why you try to fill it up with cars, clothes, doe, and fucking
That shit don't ever work
It don't ever work
Some of my peoples came here to escape the hurt
And collide with those who came here in chains
To break the earth
And all of us have to recreate our sense of worth
While being told that we're senseless
