time machine – “especially4u”
[emcee(s): comel 15 and jaysonic]
[producer(s): dj curty cut]
[additional vocals: dj curty cut]
[sample: manchild – “especially for you”]

[intro: dj curty cut]
oh sh-t! doom doom. yo, we gon’ start it off with some local talent, bring these guys up here. they go by the name of the time machine. y’all give ‘em some love, you know what i’m saying? give it up, show ‘em some love because, if you can’t do that at home, you can’t do it anywhere

[hook 1: sample from manchild – “especially for you”]
we sing a song
especially for you
we sing a song
especially for you

[verse 1: comel 15]
i could reco-
-llect on my introspect, forever on that, be cold
just to protect what keeps my blood pumping for some-
-thing. i don’t know and no one has. i’m always
told by people what is, but don’t listen. “sh-t
stinks” is what i’m told by a wise woman. “but go
smelling for yourself and learn your lesson. how does it
smell? hey, do like it? is it aromatic?” just like i
said, but hate to say, “i just told you that.” these type
of lessons is the hard way. please tell it twice the hard way
attentative. this isn’t disrespect ‘cause some are probably
leave more than they came with. i’ll go through the same sh-t
not for nothing. thank god for beats and the ink in pens
compositions and penmanship. that’s all this really is
all heroes die young, except for duke ellington
so while i compose this just like the great writers did
this one’s from me to you. especially, i meant

[hook 1: sample from manchild – “especially for you”]
we sing a song
especially for you
we sing a song
especially for you
we sing a song

[verse 2: jaysonic]
ayyo, i’m
still growing up and i don’t see it slowing up
anytime soon. how could i act like i know enough?
i’ve come such a long way from my younger days. now hunger
hurts so bad, but i’m starting to feel like hunger pays
off. my skin doesn’t feel as soft as it
once did. a young kid let myself in the crib
afterschool with the latchkey. that’s me
looking back in awe at how fast time p-ssed me
i made it through school, pursued higher education
packed up my belongings, made a change in location
sitting at the train station, looking for inspiration
tried to do the right thing. sometimes, i picked the wrong occasion
push came to shove, learned some lessons of love
trying on mittens that didn’t fit like a glove. i’d be
lying if i said i wouldn’t do some things different, but
the future’s something i control. i know the past isn’t
and, ‘til this day, it’s still cool to get bent once
i cover car and health insurance, groceries, and rent
and i’ll keep paying my dues and finish all my ch-r-s
‘til moms lets me go outside on this world tour

[hook 1: sample from manchild – “especially for you”]
we sing a song
especially for you
we sing a song
especially for you
we sing a song
especially for you
we sing a song

[hook 2: comel 15 and jaysonic] (x5)
for you and you
and you and you and you and you and you

[outro: dj curty cut]
people don’t know the history. they got to remember something. before there was… no offense, [?] to my boys—buckets, [?], lefty, big leg—all the djs up there, everybody got to remember something: when i was on the air, i was the only one playing hip hop back then. n-body else was playing krs-one. n-body else was playing “the symphony.” they got to remember something: i was playing all that. i was the first one to drop a record that went: “doom doom”
