Now it's obvious, I think that uh, that there's a second plane just
Crashed into the World Trade Center. I think we have a terrorist
Act of proportions that we cannot begin to imagine at this juncture
I remember when the plane hit the towers, it had all of us shook
To this generation it's just something they read in a book
And for a moment it ain't matter if you was black or you white
Love replaced hate but it's like it changed back overnight
For a second we all cared if everybody was safe
So how did we go back to being so divided by race?
Man, I don't get it, a tragedy that brought us together
Filled us with so much compassion, it should've lasted forever
Guess that's prolly how my mama felt when Kennedy died
I feel the hurt, but nothing compares to her seeing it live
It's like every twenty years the world get hit with a crisis
Come together and after that go back to being divisive
Now think about a baby born in 2001
They have no recollection of what we saw, they was too young
We gotta express to the youngins how we got where we at
Lack of communication causes generational gaps, y'all don't hear me
Time goes by, we live our lives
How fast it flies, it won't slow down (It won't slow down)
It won't slow down (It won't slow down)
It won't slow down
Memories, memories, they carry on
Memories, memories, they carry on
Time goes by, we live our lives
How fast it flies, it won't slow down
Hear people debate LeBron, Kobe, and Jordan
But my pops still talk about what Magic did at The Forum
So let's explore it, it's funny how each generation
Try to ignore the accomplishments of the generation before 'em
See, I be feelin' everyone's perspective is needed
'Cause those who don't know they past is only bound to repeat it
Now think of all these babies born in 2020
They won't remember the pandemic or using paper for money
I asked a youngin for his top five, I was curious really
He ain't say Big or Pac, I was like, "You being serious with me?"
But then I had to keep in mind Big and Pac was more than music
It was a vibe and he ain't share that same experience with me
Shit, he wasn't even alive, that was way before his time
So I can't scold him 'bout the things
That he don't know like it's a crime
So I sat him down and asked him why he felt how he felt
So I could teach him a couple things
And maybe learn something myself, damn
Time goes by, we live our lives
How fast it flies, it won't slow down (Hey, hey)
It won't slow down (Hey, hey)
It won't slow down
Memories, memories, they carry on
Memories, memories, they carry on
Time goes by, we live our lives
How fast it flies, it won't slow down
The Chicago Bulls have won their sixth NBA
Championship and it's their second three-peat

This life is Heaven-sent
More evidence, more evidence, more evidence, more evidence
So why don't you stop tryna measure it?
Look, as my life changes and go through stages, I just embrace it
Phases of complication, they break us, thank God we made it
We suffer in silence, karma ain't biased
It just remind us whatever vibe we
Embody, the balance is right behind us
It's certain rappers you like that I would never do records with
Fuck how well they spit, they got demons they gotta reckon with
With every breath until the last one I got left, I'm telling it
Dead presidents can't lessen the lessons that's in them testaments
Evidence that people do evil and get a job for it
Win awards for doing the devil's work and thank God for it
I could never glorify false idols with false titles
We gotta evolve, that's the only way to dissolve cycles
This life is Heaven-sent
More evidence, more evidence, more evidence, more evidence
So why don't you stop tryna question it?
