Time is of the Essence

They say
If I could turn back the hands of time
You’d still be mine
I’d have my hair back
My 6 pack and the things I know now
I’d know them then
It would be a travesty for me not to win
Back your heart
Your mind
Oh how beautiful is your mind,
I love
Once upon a time
In Mexico
When I was naïve and well, you
Was just doing me
Hopeful that I was about what I preached about
The timing…geeeez
But the timing
Was all wrong
Sang that same song, he say,
Once, twice three times you MY lady
I touched a four leafed clover
A cow jumped over the moon and
Kept my rabbits foot
Lawd…it’s the timing
That got us sangin’
Just once
Let’s get it right
We done tried
Three times like second time around
And we go round and round  
Like we don’t know
How fast this merry go ‘round goes
We don’t know
What the Father has in store
Open the door
First day of class
The same class, same teacher
I respect her
Life
Teach me what is necessary
So I can avoid these endless deja vus and friviolous rendezvous
I just wanna do right
By my Creator, my essence
Last lesson of my existence
Mastering my own timing
You know seasons and things
Like summer, spring, and fall
Never falling without getting back up like a
I’ll take this skinned up knee
Just to see the extent of my dreams
That which was conceived in truth and wisdom
Voices of doubt try to pound out my ear drums
I say, Destiny
Is all up to me and these everyday decision making thankfully
And He
Realer than your preconceieved notion of G-d
The essence, true and living
I breathe
Like a sea turtle, and humble bumble bee
He’s life to me
He’s created me to translate this truth to the youth
At heart
Been a braveheart from the start
Never realizing the greater story
I told myself
I shorted myself, I limited myself
Get this, I got that
Only to remember the Creation mine
And others
Egyptian sphinxes
And Viking ships
Celtic veins and Asian arts
Superficial our achievements are
In comparison
The neurons, protons,
Dynamic
Atoms
Of just the human eye
Disguised you see, blinded but reptilian may be related
As the scales fall off I see how my eye
Encompass the universe and galaxies unseen
I’ve been here before, seen this before, smelt and taste this before
Death and life
My tongue is serious weapon I believe
Do His prophet no harm, there’ll be no harm
For my babies…
Don’t start none, won’t be none
No nothing, just a messenger to ring that that thing
Trump on trumpets
To expose your wings
Mighty and valiant as your Maker
Sing these praises unto He
As we go to war with every enemy
Frenemy and foe
Scary niggas that for show
Speak these things but don’t live these things
Called to truth and not lies
Who yo’ daddy is? Do you know who your daddy is?
Its 10 oclock do you know where your children izzzzzzzz?
Time is of the essence
Hands of time in His hands
I sleep and wake up 365
Do the mathematics
10,220 at least, how many times I choked
Witches and vengeful spirits
On my back, watch my spirit rise above and separate
The peace felt, dying takes the releasing of the illusions
So eternity is not so farfetched,
In fact it’s timeless
But in time…it’s of the essence
Peace
