Time Taker Lyrics - Geto Boys

Scarface: 

As I open my eyes unto a new day 

I see the same old shit that I was face to face with yesterday 

It's all the same and I can't change time 

An example of a young nigga trapped up and his brain's dyin' 

I close my eyes to refrain my thoughts (open) 

Open my eyes to remain untaught 

Why my life gotta have a yesterday? 

Why can't I memorize tommorrow and live my life as just a day? 

A baby's born and you hears moms cryin' 

Is she cryin' cause that she's happy or the fact that she know she gone 

Dyin' 

Probably some shit we'll never figure out 

I think my mind is plotting plangs and my second mind is trying to take me 

Out 

I had a dream I think I saw a dude cause he had the looks that of a killer 

And he sung to me these four tunes 

He said "life is like a game of dice 

You roll 'em right the first time but you seldom get to roll 'em twice" 

Not understanding what he said doc 

I find myself in the middle of life in an infa-red dot 

So tell me doctor is you gettin' that? 

Motherfuckers bustin' at you with wheels now can you picture that? 

That's why you find me an assult mind 

Cause in this world we live together but divided by a chalk line 

You wanted to hear my life story well I told you 

Maybe there's answers to my question in your minila folder 

What's the solution to this mind state? 

You tellin' me it's gonna take you some time. how long do time take? 

I'm losing focus on this straight line 

Ain't trying to wait for motherfuckers so now I'm forced to take time 

Willie d: 

I pull my popper out my trousers aimed it at his adbomen 

And grabbed the man's life away from him in a moment 

Angle dust and heroin and all of that I was on it 

My opponent never knew what him 

As I was bootin' I heard him say "get down someboy's shootin'" 

He didn't realize he was the target 

I didn't realize what I was doing till he departed 

Oh lord, I'm feeling something I never felt black 

I told his momma I was sorry she said "sorry won't bring him back" 

God gave life to the human race and he alone has the right to take it away 

So I tell me that I don't care 

But every time I dim the lights I'm havin' motherfuckin' nightmares 

It's been a year since I heard ? 

And I can still smell the motherfuckin' gunpowder 

What does life mean to me? 

I'd trade places with the man a heartbeat if I was granted peace 

I try to wipe it out my memory 

I saw a shrink but she couldn't provide a remedy 

I'm public enemy number one 

Waitin' in line on death row to get the needle for what I done 

Pretty soon I meet my maker 

Thee creator, the one and only true time taker 

Bushwick bill: 

How much more longer I got life left 

You don't know that's why I live day for day and time it right and left 

And try to take two steps at a time 

Makin' sure our opposition stays two steps behind 

Keep in mind these niggas who wanna see me lettin' go and shit 

That's why I fight for my life until it's over with 

I know these niggas havin' hard times 

That's why I'm standing up and fighting for shit when it reguards mines 

Why must I always sing these sad songs 

Because they comforance all my feelings inside till all the bad's gone 

You wanna hear my life story well I told ya 

Maybe there's answers to my question in you fuckin' folder 

What's the solution to this mind state? 

You tellin' me it's gonna take some time. how long do time take? 

I'm losin' focus on my straight linne 

Ain't trying to wait for a motherfuckers so now I'm forced to take time
