Mind Over Time - Númi/Mister E

Mind Over Time Tick tock I had a thought about a thought That I thought I'd thought before But the more I thought about that thought The more I thought some more You following? Good 'Cause I've already lost myself! I thought I thought a thought worth thinking through But thinking what I thought brought thoughts I never knew I knew I knew a thing or two about the things I knew Till something new I never knew came knocking out of the blue I mind my mind, but my mind won't mind It minds the time while I'm trying to find The time I timed to unwind my mind But my mind reminds me I'm running behind I walk the walk while I talk the talk But the clock won't stop when I stop to talk So I talk while I walk and I walk while I think Till I think myself thirsty and forget to drink I work the work till the work works right Then work that work through the working night If working won't work, I work out why Then work my way through another try Round goes the rhythm, round goes the rhyme Round goes the world while I'm chasing time Round goes the thought that I thought I knew Now the thought's got a thought and it's thinking too! Hey! Ho! Round we go! Round with the rhythm, let the good times roll! Tick! Tock! Don't you stop! Keep that beat bouncing till the bass goes pop! Hey! Ho! Here we go! Fast with the words but the groove stays slow! Round and round, line by line! I got time on my mind and my mind on time! Oh-ee-oh! Oh-ee-ay! Round and around till we roll away! Oh-ee-oh! Hey-hey-hey! One more rhyme for another day! I made what I made, then I made a mistake Made a mess of the mess I was trying to remake So I made up my mind that I'd make it all right But the mind that I made up changed its mind overnight I fixed up a fix with a fix I had fixed Then mixed up the fix with a fix that got mixed Now the fix needs fixing and the mix needs a fix And I'm stuck in the middle of a fix full of tricks I planned out a plan with a plan in my hand But the plan that I planned didn't go as I'd planned So I planned a new plan for the plan that had failed Then the plan took a turn and the whole thing derailed Round goes the rhythm, round goes the rhyme Round goes the world while I'm chasing time Round goes the thought that I thought I knew Now the thought's got a thought and it's thinking too! Hey! Ho! Round we go! Round with the rhythm, let the good times roll! Tick! Tock! Don't you stop! Keep that beat bouncing till the bass goes pop! Hey! Ho! Here we go! Fast with the words but the groove stays slow! Round and round, line by line! I got time on my mind and my mind on time! Now If I know what I know And you know what you know And I know you know something That I don't know you know Do you know what I mean? No? Well Neither do I! I know what I know, but I know I don't know What I knew I should know from the things I don't know And the more that I know, the less certain I grow 'Cause the things that I know show me more I don't know I say what I say, then I say what I said But the words that I said sound much worse in my head So I said what I meant, but I meant what I said Till the meaning got mixed with the words that I read I rhyme with the time and I time with the rhyme Got a line in my mind and a mind full of lines If the line that I find doesn't land on the beat I bend it and blend it till it lands on its feet I twist it, I test it, I turn it around Make a word from a sound and a sound from a word Then I turn what I heard into words I can say Till the words start to work and the work turns to play Time to time the time I timed While trying to find the time to rhyme I rhyme in time, then time my rhyme Till time runs out of time in time Mind the mind that minds the mind That minds the time I left behind Behind the mind that minds the time There's another mind that's minding mine I thought I thought, but thought thought back And brought a thought I thought I'd lacked I caught that thought, then lost its track Now all my thoughts are thinking back I work the words, the words work me I work them till they work in three Three words work four, then four work five Now five work six to keep the rhyme alive I spin the spin, then spin again The spinning spins beyond the pen I pen the spin, the spin spins free Now spinning words are spinning me! Hang on Was I supposed to be going somewhere? Oh, right! Hey! Ho! Round we go! Round with the rhythm, let the good times roll! Tick! Tock! Don't you stop! Keep that beat bouncing till the bass goes pop! Hey! Ho! Here we go! Fast with the words but the groove stays slow! Round and round, line by line! I got time on my mind and my mind on time! Oh-ee-oh! Oh-ee-ay! Round and around till we roll away! Oh-ee-oh! Hey-hey-hey! One more rhyme for another day! I spent my time trying to find the time To put a little time into another rhyme But by the time I found the time I'd lost the thought that started mine Wait What was I thinking about? Never mind Boom! Númi/Mr.E.
