If I had a time machine that was built with a flux capacitor I would go back to the rappers the media massacred Back to the first time Pac was blasted in Manhattan I would prove it wasnt Biggie so that beef would never happen Hop to the present, get the president in my presence Shake his hand, then send him back to the Great Depression To hit a bar with FDR for a second And together they could assess an effective way to address the recession I stay stressin, lookin for work here Havin flashbacks of a frat bash from my first year I wanna talk to little Jeremy the college kid Take his resume to polish it, and get a scholarship Have a couple of shots with him after he promises That he acknowledges the clock on the wall and he knows what time it is Cause the problem is the single lesson I neglected Is that minutes turn to seconds faster than you would expect it [Hook] But if I could go back, I dont think Id go back I wouldnt wanna change things, I would do the same thing I would just embrace things, I would just embrace things I would embrace them the way they are I said, but if I could go back, I dont think Id go back I wouldnt wanna change things, I would do the same thing I would just embrace things, I would just embrace things I would embrace them the way they are If I had a time machine that was built with a flux capacitor I would travel to Africa with a pack of ambassadors Way before this crazy war erupted in Sudan So my man Aleer would never have to flee his homeland Then Id stop in Germany, hop on Operation Valkyrie Watchin Hitler talk to a crowd atop of a balcony But at the first announcement, Im sneakin around the bouncer With a pouch of cyanide to pour inside his Alka Seltzer Yo if I could time travel, Id be goin right back To that battle in that parkin lot where I got sliced at Convince homeboy to put his knife back So my left cheek wouldnt permanently have a white slash And I know that Im getting older When the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder I get reminded of that fateful evening in October When my girl called me up on the phone and said it was over If I did it all again, I woulda been a little bolder There are things I shoulda said and I regret I never told her So I drink away the pain but Im afraid of being sober Cause I know that Imma wake up all alone and wanna hold her [Hook] If I had a time machine that was built with a flux capacitor I would actually sell it back to its manufacturer Matter fact, go to the factory where its packaged And Id smash every last flux capacitor to fragments Cause way before the butterfly effect happened to Ashton Ray Bradbury practically labeled it black magic The mathematical path to the aftermath Rollin snowballs yesterday and today you trapped in an avalanche Why does everybody wanna change they stars? Why dont they embrace them just the way they are? And just play they cards? Laugh in the face of the demons Havent you ever been told that everything happens for a reason? If his woman didnt leave him, and give him all of that pain Yo, would he have ever written the chorus to Airplanes? He was stranded in the rain, at the verge of goin frantic When that Airplane crashlanded him in the Atlantic...
