HINDSIGHT 2020 (LYRICS)
[VERSE ONE]
Nights like this
Oh what’s the use in sleeping?
I’ve been asleep for my whole life (Anyway)
Stones and sticks
Oh why waste time repeating?
We’re just a rerun on our screens (Everyday)
A highly likely story with a twist on the rocks
So faded but I made it from rock bottom to top
It’s almost like some wanted me to fail
But shit I prevailed
Set sail, Tipped scales and Blazed the trails
Whatever happened to the golden rule and when was it seized? Whoever has the gold they make the rules indeed.
Displaced but I placed my faith in something else.
[CHORUS]
And I finally figured out
(I finally figured out)
What you’re all about
Talk is cheap when truth ain’t free
And I finally figured out
(I finally figured out)
What it’s all about
A typical triangular scheme
[VERSE TWO]
So impolitic
Oh what’s the point in speaking?
I’ve been in silence my whole life (Anyway)
Scratch the itch
Oh why waste time on healing?
When we’re just cheating on our dreams (Everyday)
Conclusion: only so much time left on the clock So faith it till you make it till the ball finally drops It’s possible some just wanna hate
But haters gon’ hate
So create, Elevate, Never let that ego inflate
Whatever happened to humility and why was it squeezed? Whoever took control they locked away the keys
You can do anything but you can’t do everything.
[CHORUS]
And I finally figured out
(I finally figured out)
What you’re all about
Talk is cheap when truth ain’t free
And I finally figured out
(I finally figured out)
What it’s all about
A typical triangular scheme (Scheme)
