In time, in time In time this rhyme'll be more than just a fantasy A Black man'll be the man to claim Presidency Is it hard to see? So try to see as i see In time i see a better Black reality It took one man to open the door, yep! He let in one million more And i don't think that this country knows What the hell that it's in for A Black reign, to tough to tame (to tame) Enough to blow the other man's brain (man's brain) Things just won't be the same (the same) It's gonna be a whole new game (a whole new game) New lessons will be taught Meaningless fights will not be fought An attempt to save some lives Spreading out more peaceful vibes See that less drugs will be sold So a man can live to grow old Instead of being left in the cold to rot 'Cause he got stopped by a small white rock I hope in time things change And that i'm around to see that stage

Everybody thinks Q-Tip is odd 'Cause holy, holy Q-Tip speaks of God The changes of time arranges a rhyme Rhymers (?) like Aarons rod You can care less about what i'm saying So i'll pray for you when i start praying I'm a sinner, you're a sinner Get off the bandwagon and repent your sins I don't wanna push my beliefs on you But you think about it and see if it's true I'm telling you, Do what ya do See if ya last for the broadcast 'Cause it's on the way Preachers preach about us almost every day These bag-a-bon(?) shoes are longing to stray But i'm a bag-a-bag-bon(?) 'Cause i won't pay Clock that clock, I'm clocking mine Better watch out, it's coming in time
