Time Machine - Yu

Maybe I do fall into the same footsteps as pops

Turned the hands of the clock back

To Lakewood Street now, that’s where he would be found

30 years ago

Let’s take a journey, here we go

To Suitland, Maryland.

That’s where the Willingham’s stay

That’s my fathers last name,

He pretty much looks the same

Back in the days he was 16 & doing his thing

Construction, making money with his hands.

That’s my dad

He kept a lil ride, sumthin nice to drive slow in

Playing «Mind Blowing», 8track stereo and

Him and moms went to Suitland High, she was superfly

Plus his sister’s best friend so, they began to get close

I found a picture from the year before I was born, corner half torn.

Mom & pops hands joined

Eye to eye, why do I. Not remember all that

And I closed my eyes, and thru dreams I go back there.

Yeahh

Hook

Hey, come on.

Ride with me, and take a trip, thru the time machine

Years away, away from today

I’m traveling back, to how I became

And going way back, to back in the days

Of when we used to speak, but now the times have changed

Hey come on, ride with me now, thru the time machine.

2nd Verse

I found another picture too

From the year 1980, I was goin on two.

It was me, my aunt Toya, alotta joy around christmas

Opening my gifts & the colors slowly drifting away

Fading, just like a memory from a while back

Looking siced in the picture, got some toys and a cowboy hat

Neppy’s house was off of Porter Ave

I couldn’t touch less it was mine, see I was taught to ask

Or moms would whoop my *ss, respect, gonna need that.

Believe that

She dropped the bottomline, leaving no room for feedback

And u could see that in them other pictures too

When I was a little dude

Me & moms would hit the zoo up

Before the yU, it was Mikey/ Mike Jr.

The world is a labyrinth, so don’t let it lose ya

If the sun was outside, you don’t need no flash

Perfect lighting for this flick, that was taken in the past, let’s goooo.

(Repeat Hook 2x)

3rd Verse

The last picture I hold, goes for all of those who never seen their folks when

they were close

Those days are long gone, but I am the result

Of a bond that wasn’t solid, so they drifted apart

Moms thing was her art, and pops was good with his hands

Innate traits I had to take from the blend that yall had, daaag.

Lookin at these pictures makes me wonder what if.

But if anything had changed my destiny might switch too

My daughter is that proof, time done passed by

Some people that u see, it could be for the last time

Flipping, thru a dusty, brown leather photo album

Showing my daughter pictures from back when I was young

I’m trading places with my pops in the drivers seat

Her eyes are wide, their reminding me of me

So add another branch, to my family tree

Just roll wit me, lemme take u thru the time machine.

(Hook Repeats 2x)
