If I could turn back the hands of time_ A Collaboration


Jenavia aka Lyrical Speech

If i could turn back the hands of time, I would live a better life. i would be happy and not depressed, and i wouldn't care about what others think of me. If could turn back the hands of time, i would think that I'm beautiful. i would think so much of how fat i am, or how light i am, or how my hair looks. i wouldn't think about how much i want to be loved cuz I would already know that I am loved. By God himself and by my family and friends. If i could turn back the hands of time, i wouldn't have been a stripper for 6 months. Out there sellin' my body for 50s and 100s. If i could turn back the hands of time, i would live a better life. A better life... a way better life. i would be much happier. And i would be much respected. If only, i could turn back the hands of time.


Dorothy:
If I could turn back the hands of time
I would only be with a peaceful man
one who is sweet and kind
thoughtful and nurturing
I would know that I deserve only the kindest love
I would know that all women deserve only the kindest and gentlest love from a man!


B. Alexander:
If I could turn back the hands of time.
I'd have a conversation with B
Let him know what he's getting into
Prevent the bad situations in the past I see
I'd divert the obstacles and pain that I've felt
I'd give my former confidence instead of the
deal I was dealt
Although sometimes I feel life's wearing me down
Like I'd change the beginning and leave myself on the down
But alas I've gone on and the lessons were learned
I'll wait patiently in the now for my saviors return.

 

 

 

 



Tha Poet
Sin :

If I could turn back tha hands of time, I would go back about 20 minutes.
I wasn't depressed until I looked at my life and all tha drama in it.
With that being said I would go back to tha night that I had that chick in my bed.
I would have worn a condom.
Naw matter of fact I wouldn't, I love my little girl.
Tha biggest thing in my little world.
I would go back I'd maybe try to work things out with her mom,
Cuz right now, in tha present, I ain't feelin her.
I would go back and kiss her one more time cuz, in tha present, me not lovin her is killin her.
I don't wanna know I'm tha cause of nobody's pain,
especially to some one who push forward a child wit my last name.
Tha last thing I remember was punchin out my car window.
If I could go back, instead of snappin I would just hold her as the wind blows.
Let her know that I still love her,
But now it's 2007 and it don't even feel tha same when I hug her.
I was at tha hospital when my nephew was born, right outside tha room.
If I could go back I would've, I would've been there when my little lady was born,
Right inside tha room.
But I can't change tha past, I can't go back.
All I can do is work on our future,
No longer in love but will always have tha ultimate respect for her, and she know that.
I love my baby with all my heart;
I'll do anything to show that.


Blaxican:
If i could turn back the hands of time this world would still be mine, Collecting Everything From pennies, nickels, and dimes, and i, loving every minuet,
Hold the world in palm and crush everything in it, If the sky is the limit, i neva been there, so i do what i can to get in it, In the past 3 days i've been relentless, its eitha kill or be killed and i was taught to it when your defenseless. If I can turn back the hands of time, i wouldn't have to be one deep, no more wakin up in my sleep eyes red with fury.....Jesus can you save me!!!!????? They tell me all the cigarettes and good for me, its keeps my minds at ease as i go thru pain and tragedy, if i can turn back the hands of time? Why would i care time is not on my side, i don't dwell on pride, id turn time forward just to see how i died, I cant tell my hallucinations from my dreams, the only difference one doesn't come true, nothin to do but to turn back the hands of time.


 
KIR verses:
If I could turn back the hands of time prejudice would've never existed and
if I was on the jury for the trial of Assata Shakur she'd be acquitted

If I could turn back the hands of time I'd listen to Martin and Malcolm speak
within our black communities and we would
like the seven principles of Kwanzaa together be Umoja united and standing tall
Kuchagulia the belief in ourselves
Ujima working together collectively,
Ujamaa supporting our brotha's and sista's businesses,
Nia knowing our purpose, Cuz all of us are here for a reason
Kuumba experiencing our creativity individually
and Imani having faith to know we can achieve but first we must believe
If I could turn back the hands of time

Jerzee Blck Queen:

If i could turn back the hands of time GOD would've made us the race of power in the beginning instead of the end of time.
If i could change back the hands of time Woman would be ruler.
If the world was ours we as a people would be rich in wealth and health. Our children would be more powerful then the sun,
their light would shine so bright that GOD himself would speak out loud and say how proud he is.
If I could turn back the hands of time our people could speak their native language and would still be home in our native land. ..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />..:NAMESPACE PREFIX = ST1 />Africa would be a rich country and the people here would come to see that we are Kings and Queens.


Spark:
i probable wouldn't turn back the hands of time. I would just put it on pause...cause my kids wouldn't be mine an yours wouldn't be yours.......you see what you do in the past mold your future...so what you do your be the first.......an who to say that if you can turn back the hands of time that life wouldnt be worst...


Sophie:
If I could turn back time
I would sit back and unwind
because all of life fears
seems to dwindle in present time
I would tell myself don't worry
My faith in God is strong
I won't cry as often as I did
because the crying won't last long
