[00:00.000] 作曲 : Blu
[00:02.308] Writin' in, writin', writin' in
[00:04.431] Writin' in my book of rhymes
[00:07.460] How time flies (Yeah)
[00:10.123] Writin' in, writin', writin' in, writin'
[00:12.812] Writin' in, writin', writin' in my book of rhymes
[00:17.711] How time flies (Check it)
[00:20.553] It seems like yesterday we was chasing an ice cream truck
[00:23.706] Now we hoping that our ice bling plush
[00:25.795] It's kinda crazy right?
[00:26.949] One minute you a baby, and the next you sexin' without protection
[00:30.443] And now you holdin' a baby like
[00:32.336] Damn, I was just in your shoes
[00:34.407] Now you the papa that's adjustin' they shoes
[00:36.442] Teach them to walk straight
[00:37.635] Cause honestly, they got a long way to go
[00:39.594] And what you tell 'em now is all that they know
[00:41.693] See I remember when my folks said
[00:43.368] "You'll know what I mean when you get older"
[00:45.238] I was only a teen, thinking that I was a grown-up
[00:48.057] Please, I had so much to see
[00:49.564] Thinking the little that I saw was all the world had to offer to me
[00:52.884] At 18, I headed off in the streets without guidance
[00:55.920] Just the eyes of God watching over me it's time
[00:58.451] I spent hours working nine-to-fives to survive
[01:01.027] Me and Jack up in the shack started hustlin' sacks
[01:03.694] Just to eat chips and soda
[01:05.241] Thinking we finna blow up once this demo gets done
[01:07.659] We gon be stretched out rich, riding limos and such
[01:10.292] Boy, I was just a dreamer
[01:11.986] Rocking shows like I went gold, you shoulda seen us
[01:14.576] We was full of youth, not yet abused by time
[01:17.038] It's like I saw the whole world through my rhymes
[01:18.977] It's kinda crazy, right? (How time flies)
[01:22.273] Twenty-two years ago to keep it on track
[01:25.141] No time, time, time, time, time for looking back
[01:32.153] Twenty-two years ago to keep it on track
[01:35.727] **** it black, no time, time, time, time, time for looking back
[01:42.726] But only you saw what took too many time to see
[01:46.342] This reminds me of junior high, when you and I first met
[01:49.017] '96 was a year that I could never forget
[01:51.664] Sunset summer school dance, kisses chicken heads
[01:54.464] Spreadin rumors, "Blu's cheatin' on Shameka with Anika"
[01:57.179] We was bad, ditching class, grass had us all gassed
[01:59.814] I never smoked, played ball, thought it would make me choke
[02:02.527] By the way we lost the championship game by one
[02:05.050] Slow ****er hit a three at the buzzer
[02:07.068] My heart sunk, I started crying, I was tryna be a pro-baller
[02:10.239] My first **** was that year and still I don't call her
[02:12.955] My own father brought me to her house that weekend
[02:15.663] He was cheating so I lost my big V while he was beatin
[02:18.551] In the other room, not yet abused by time
[02:21.054] I saw the whole world through that girl's eyes
[02:23.108] It's kinda crazy though (How time flies) how it flies
[02:27.305] My grandpa died the same year
[02:28.815] My mom thought that I was too young to make this song
[02:31.639] Because I'm only 22, but John Barnes has a long path behind him
[02:35.359] I'm walkin in the shoes of a giant
[02:37.300] And I was a fan of Jordan way before I knew Bryant
[02:39.935] Lost my great grey suit but I was through crying
[02:42.632] So I hear tears behind my suit and tie and
[02:44.944] Now you can find it through my rhymin' cause my timing has come
[02:47.821] And you gon know my whole story by the time I get done
[02:50.314] Rising like the shining sun, reminding you how we came
[02:53.034] We rich now, but used to be slaves
[02:55.073] We pushing whips now, we used to be whipped
[02:57.287] Rockin chains when we used to be in 'em
[02:59.039] Still complaining that we victims in the system
[03:01.136] Shit is twisted but shit, we came a long ass way
[03:03.728] Yet it just feels like one long day
[03:05.743] Shit amazes me (How time flies)
[03:08.918] Twenty-two years ago to keep it on track
[03:11.847] No time, time, time, time, time for looking back
[03:19.909] Twenty-two years ago to keep it on track
[03:22.133] **** it black, no time, time, time, time, time for looking back
[03:29.395] But only you saw what took too many time to see
