Biz Markie Turn Back The Hands Of Time Lyrics

Turn Back The Hands Of Time Lyrics

[Verse One: Biz Markie]



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-Z



Back when Ra was still with Eric B



Remember 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 Benz



As 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 sign



If I can turn back the hands of time







[Chorus] - 2X 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 Tupac



I wish there was somethin made to bring back Scott LaRock



I wish somethin bad, I wish there was somethin made



to 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 Baltimore



I wish there was somethin to bring back



all the strange people that I knew that, was a part of my life



(For all of our loved ones that have passed away)
