Time Travel

intro monologue
[me 1]
So what if time travel was possible
would I go back and tell myself that I was going to time travel
or would that create a paradox?

[verse 1]
Should I go back in time to tell myself
Should I just abuse it for the worldly wealth
Should I just keep time tavel on the shelf
Should I do it at all, is it bad for my health

I guess I need to decide If I'm
gonna pursue time travel and before I die
travel back to the place and the time that I said
so I don't go back and plant ideas in my head

[me 2 - from second verse]
guess who's back, back again
yes, it's me but don't tell your friends
it's your future self, not eminem
I'm the same as you but in the future, man

but I can't tell you the way to go
I can't interrupt the time space flow
let me tell you what you know, just read a book
now back me up as I drop this hook

[chorus]
Time travel will unravel a mystery
to go back in time in my history
this is a hardcore disasterous recipe
I'm gonna go back in time to rap with me

[verse 2]
I didn't get any help from the future
paradox free, I hope that suits ya
blood sweat tears - it appears I
created the fated machine of future years

first I need to know how the timeline is defined
before I go back and hit rewind
I gotta keep this thought in the front of my mind
does it flow like a river or is it a straight line

[me 2 - from verse 3]
time's a river, oh no I told you too soon
I just had a major case of deja vu
[me 1]
I think we just created a paradox
I guess I'll try it, turn back the clock

Just got back, and my future self lied
[me 2 - from verse 3]
time's a straight line, no wait, rewind
[me 1]
It's ok, I apparently covered my tracks
with a witty comment a few seconds back

[chorus]
Time travel will unravel a mystery
to go back in time in my history
this is a hardcore disasterous recipe
I'm gonna go back in time to rap with me

[me 1]
I masterfully crafted a response in my mind
I need to travel back to 2 minutes flat
(time's a straight line, no wait, rewind)
I need to hit myself in the head with a bat

I got a better idea brewing in my mind
so I travel on back to 1:49
(time's a river, oh no I told you too soon)
(I just had a major case of deja vu)

Time travel was fun but now I'm starting to hate it
because it's beginning to get way too complicated
[me 2]
two mes at a time, but just you wait
till we get a couple more duplicates on our plate

[me 1]
oh great, thanks a lot mate
[me 2]
don't worry, you'll understand - it's your fate
[me 1]
I guess, but it really hurts my brain
I didn't realize time travel caused such pain

[chorus]
Time travel will unravel a mystery
to go back in time in my history
this is a hardcore disasterous recipe
I'm gonna go back in time to rap with me

[me 1]
oh geez - my nose is bleeding
and I don't think that it needs repeating
but even if it did, I could go back
and record myself on another track

this is a pivotal moment in my morality
any semblance of order is a formality
going back in time to make myself rich
like robbing a bank without a hitch

Ok, I did it! look at me!
while I was there I recorded verse 3
I made a few large transactions on the exchange
in the millions of dollars range

Will I start to turn evil, well at least I'm hoping
that my future self will keep at least one eye open
I may have to face the possibility
that my future self will come back to kill me

[chorus]
Time travel will unravel a mystery
to go back in time in my history
this is a hardcore disasterous recipe
I'm gonna go back in time to rap with me

[me 1]
I got me a gun - just in case
my future self gets all in my face
and storms up and down all over the place
that corruption needs to be erased

[me 2]
No wait, hold on please don't shoot!
(BANG!)

[me 1]
Oh no, what'd I do?
I think it's time for me to aptly
figure out how to stop this event from happening

I know, I'll travel back in time
and make sure that my past self is fine
you may not understand my mentality
but I'm going to learn about causality

I don't know what I'm going to face
but I'll bring my gun, just in case
if time is a line, my point will be moot
[zap back]
No wait, hold on, please don't shoot!

[no chorus, interlude]

[me 3]
back from future to save the day
don't worry everything's gonna be ok
medicine in the future is the best
they can cure everything except for death

I hit my chest but I missed my head
it's good I didn't hit that instead
if I popped my noggin, I would probably be dead
as it stands I just got my clothing red

ok, that's all the spoilers that I'll allow
I nursed you back to health so I'm leaving for now
but if I come back, don't have a cow
and seriously, don't try to shoot me - wow

[me 1]
wow, I messed up, but I survived
I'm gonna be thankful for being alive
I feel invincible, just like boris
HEY FUTURE ME - COME BACK FOR THE CHORUS!

[chorus]
Time travel will unravel a mystery
to go back in time in my history
this is a hardcore disasterous recipe
I'm gonna go back in time to rap with me
