Yeah, man's it's crazy how time flies My mind tries to sit still, thinking how does one define 'wise'? Feels like yesterday I was a newcomer Fresh in the game, ready to make the truth thunder But as the beat plays they lose wonder After a few summers, the band's ready for a new drummer Doesn't matter if you're not ready yet Yesterday I was a cadet, now they call me a vet But it's part of common sense that the artist's time will end To the young this topic can be hard to comprehend They don't come close to understandin' How you can go from most demanded to abandoned in the ocean, stranded Surrounded by the waves of your weariness Some things you only learn from age and experience And it's plain to me that all the famous men you see The time is comin' when they will be a faded memory 'Cause one day you hot, the next day you not One day you on top, next day you get dropped, yeah What in the world was your mind thinkin'? You couldn't see the sands of time sinkin'? 'Cause one day you hot, the next day you not One day you on top, next day you get dropped, yeah Better plan for the future, kid Time catches up to everyone, no matter who it is SongtexteYeah, whatever happened to so-and-so, that's what they wanna know Eventually we learn that they all come and go Today's risin' star, tomorrow dies with scars Today they awestruck, tomorrow you washed-up (right) I remember watchin' Jordan's Hall of Fame speech Thinkin' this is what it's like to watch the lame reach and gasp As he tries to grasp what lies in the past (past) Never to return what lies in the past Did he tell himself, was he lost or sober? Did he know it was all but over the moment that A.I. crossed him over? If I could be like [?] Let's shine the light on the one they call Iron Mike Nowadays he's known for bein' all weird But back in '88 nobody was more feared At the peak of his powers, his opponents would retreat In moments he would eat and devour Snuff with punches but we must discuss this Crushed it just enough to trust its toughness Pride brings such a justice, you puffed up with smugness? Hm, you gonna meet Buster Douglas Amazing that which blaze like petro The new craze that made the waves in the metros Was praised for days but just a phase like retros And fades like echoes 'Cause one day you hot, the next day you not One day you on top, next day you get dropped, yeah What in the world was your mind thinkin'? You couldn't see the sands of time sinkin'? 'Cause one day you hot, the next day you not One day you on top, next day you get dropped, yeah Better plan for the future, kid Time catches up to everyone, no matter who it is What I'm speakin' on is seriously welcomed by the few (few) Even though experience'll tell you that it's true On your radio station this won't be found on the playlist Wisdom, the sound of the sages, resoundin' for ages The older I get, I notice it The whole of the script, hm, it's found in the pages of holy writ Not the cash speech of the reverend, but what a man sees under heaven, Ecclesiastes 1:11 No matter who you are, death aims to stop ya Whether banker, doctor, or Frank Sinatra Before your time is done, meet the Timeless One The dying, death-defying, rising, shining Son King Jesus astounds and amazes He pounded the pavement to save those who were bounded in cages So let us praise the One who made the Everglades Our debt was paid so in glory we'll never fade Aus Songtexte Mania
