Turn Back the Hands of Time

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-ZBack when
Ra was still with
Eric BRemember 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
BenzAs 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 signIf I can turn back the hands of time[Chorus] - 2
X 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
TupacI wish there was somethin made to bring back
Scott LaRock
I wish somethin bad,
I wish there was somethin madeto 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
BaltimoreI wish there was somethin to bring backall the strange people that
I knew that, was a part of my life (For all of our loved ones that have passed away)
