If I could find the spot where truth echoes
I would stand there and whisper memories of my children's future
I would let their future dwell in my past
So that I might live a brighter now
Now is the essence of my domain and it contains
All that was and will be
And I am as I was and will be because I am and always will be
That n***a
I am that n***a
I am that n***a
I am that timeless n***a that swings on pendelums like vines
Through mines of b**bytrapped minds that are enslaved by time
I am the life that supersedes lifetimes, I am
It was me with serpentine hair and a timeless stare
That with immortal glare turned mortal fear into stone time capsules
They still exist as the walking dead, as I do
The original sulphurhead, symbol of life and matriarchy
Severed head Medusa, I am
I am that n***a
I am that n***a!
I am that n***a!!
I am a negro! Yes negro, negro from _necro_ meaning d**h
I overcame it so they named me after it
And I be spitting at d**h from behind
And putting "Kick Me" signs on it's back
Because I am not the son of Sha-Clack-Clack
I am before that, I am before
I am before before
Before d**h is eternity, after d**h is eternity
There is no d**h there's only eternity
And I be riding on the wings of eternity
Like HYAH! HYAH! HYAH! Sha-Clack-Clack
But my flight doesn't go undisturbed
Because time makes dreams defer
And all of my time fears are turning my days into daymares
And I live daymares reliving nightmares
Of what taunted my past
Sha-Clack-Clack, time is beatin my a**
And I be havin dreams of chocolate covered watermelons
Filled with fried chickens like pinatas
With little pickaninny sons and daughters
Standing up under them with big sticks and aluminum foil
Hittin em, tryin to catch pieces of fallin fried chicken wings
And Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben are standing in the corners
With rifles pointed at the heads of the little children
"Don't shoot the children," I shout, "don't shoot the children!"
But they say it's too late
They've already been infected by time
But that sh** is before my time
I need more time
I need more time
But it's too late
They start shooting at children and k**ing them!
One by one, two by two, three by three, four by four
Five by five, six by six, but
My spirit is growing seven by seven
Faster than the speed of light
Cause light only penetrates the darkness that's already there
And I'm already there
I'm here at the end of the road
Which is the beginning of the road beyond time, but
Where my n***as at? (Oh sh**!)
Oh sh**, don't tell me my n***as got lost in time
My n***as are dying before their time
My n***as are serving unjust time
My n***as are dying because of.. time
