Rewind by B-Lo

[Verse 1]
Time is a concept that’s hard to grasp
Can’t determine how it goes slow or fast
Or how it makes our future, present, and past
Or how we have a limit in deciding our path
But the fates we make, they can’t be changed
Because the timeline is straight, no breaks
If one thing’s taken and not replaced
Then the after effect puts lives at stake
Let’s say there was a person you loved
and the life that they had was cut short
Then you’re granted with a chance to go back to the past
to prevent their demise and they live more
Score! But that would change your current time
A whole rewrite of your life
Not used to living this, now you’re conflicted
Because of the catch of the contract is melting your mind
All the alternatives, wondering which is the best route to take in your life
But if you’re given the knowledge will it really happen exactly as liked?
Every step, every breath, every action you make will affect down the line
It’s how it’s designed and nobody knows why
But trust me though, I get it, there are past things we regret
And you’re desperately looking for some way to make the world forget
Well be careful what you wish for cause it might not go how you’d expect
And it may be late to change your mind cause your fate is already set

[PRE-HOOK]
Every action you’re commencing
There’s always consequences
Whatever your intentions
Time still acts as its own weapon

[HOOK]
There's a reason why
We can't just turn back time
Something will misalign
All will be different in your eyes
You know that life ain't simple to rewind
Don't matter what feels right
It just comes back to bite
You in a later point of your life
You know that life ain't simple to rewind

[Verse 2]
This is reality
I know that it sucks but that’s just how it had to be
Obsession just brings us insanity
Crave it too much, many things start unraveling
Many people try to play God
Try to fix all of our flaws
Well here’s the facade, it’s all a mirage
When we’re all forced to applaud
You think you’re a hero? Well you just haven’t seen you’re becoming the enemy
One hundred to zero, now you see you’re cursed in bringing the end of things
It’s hard to believe though, after all these times you’ve tried to contain the peace
Or that’s how it appeared so, maybe this fate was the way it was meant to be
Or was it? Does it all make sense?
Or maybe it doesn’t
You’re having this internal discussion
Whether the time of events give these repercussions
So many answers to find
This is all hurting your mind
It’s all beyond to define
Trying so hard but we don’t have the time
I know as people we’re curious
and we’re all learning to just understand
But if we come across something we’re not meant to see
Why the hell are we taking a chance?
We’re better off to just leave it a mystery
It’s not the time to reveal it to man
We tend to fear something that is beyond comprehension
Then things will just get out of hand

[PRE-HOOK]
Every action you’re commencing
There’s always consequences

You know that life ain't simple to rewind
Don't matter what feels right
It just comes back to bite
You in a later point of your life
You know that life ain't simple to rewind

[Verse 3]
Feel like I’m getting some deja vu
I know that I’ve been in this place before
Feels like I’m stuck on an endless loop
Fabrics of time and space are torn
Groundhog Day and I can not stop it
Louder the clock keeps ticking and tocking
Going through the same shit, driving me mad
Feeling like I’m really gonna snap (Now bring it back)
Feel like I’m getting some deja vu
I know that I’ve been in this place before
Feels like I’m stuck on an endless loop
Fabrics of time and space are torn
Groundhog Day and I can not stop it
Louder the clock keeps ticking and tocking
Going through the same shit, driving me mad
Feeling like I’m really gonna snap

You know that life ain't simple to rewind
