(Intro)
Ayo this is Harry Shotta and you’re watching my string session for SBTV
Uh let’s go, Shotta
The hands of time
Serious, yea
Uh uh
Listen, yo uh
(Verse)
You fuckin turn back the clock
I take it back to when Steve died, on the train track
Make the pain stop for his mama, still wishin I was dead
That night, the pain’s too deep to repair
I see him in the park, the same week they died
He came here, look at me, he knew I liked the garage fight
But truth was a little bit of luck
When I hear that tune
Still see the promise in his young eyes
And my ind going blind, feeling lost
And I’m still wishin I could turn back the clocks
Wishin I could back and tell Maria don’t take the flight
Wish I could turn all the wrongs into rights
I go back and beg once and notified
I’d love to get Stevie’s sight,
Let me see the bright lights of the city for just one night
To go back and change future up to any prize
(Hook)
If I could turn back the hands of time
If I could turn back the hands of time
Wish I could
If I could go back and change the future
Then I would but I can’t, it’s not all good
Man sittin here, reminiscin, sippin on Jack
With the weight of the world on my back, writin a track
Wishin I could just turn back the hands of time
I can’t so I deal with the pain in my ranks
(Verse)
Wish Kaywa never left the yard that day
Wish Rich had his brother back every day
Know my brother felt pain in every way
And shoutin too sometimes it’s hard knowing what to say
I prayed and I wish I could take it back
To the days of the eclipse but your car’s on the track
But reality was real and you were dealing with the facts
Me I get faded and just fade to black
Wish I could’ve saved Amy, plus Whitney
My pops killed, that’s when the whole thing hit me
In school we used to play his music on the next high
Next minute he’s gone and we’re celebratin his life
What’s done is done, I ain’t pointin the blame
Fuck, I’d go back, I’d take away all of the pain
That I felt growing up but nah I wouldn’t be the same
Out on these streets it’s hard to maintain so…
(Hook)
If I could turn back the hands of time
If I could turn back the hands of time
Wish I could
If I could go back and change the future
Then I would but I can’t, it’s not all good
Man sittin here, reminiscin, sippin on Jack
With the weight of the world on my back, writin a track
Wishin I could just turn back the hands of time
I can’t so I deal with the pain in my ranks
(Verse)
Wish Kurt would’ve never put the gun to his head
Wish he spoke to a friend instead
I wish feds never caught Leroy, locked him up in his prime
If I could turn back the hands of time
Would’ve told some of bravest that I know to stop doing crime
Would’ve stopped Mary doing those lines
I will fly in the future, bring back the cure for cancer
And give Sen a golf case but that’s no gangsta
So many things that I wish I could change
But I can’t go back so I’m thinkin long range
What I do has consequences, jynx in the chain
Made mistakes in the past, now I’m losing my brain
In a whole new lane, north gased up the fame
I said money over everything, that was insane
Wish I could change history, it seem gray music is therapy but I’m still in pace up
(Hook)
If I could turn back the hands of time
If I could turn back the hands of time
Wish I could
If I could go back and change the future
I would but I can’t, it’s not all good
Man sittin here, reminiscin, sippin on Jack
With the weight of the world on my back, writin a track
Wishin I could just turn back the hands of time
I can’t so I deal with the pain in my ranks
