Flavor Flav

I got ideas and dreams that don't work in practice
 I got a time machine, and it don't go backwards
 A list of ill-fated quick licks under 'frigerator magnets
 Above a school trip permission slip
 That's a Afro-futurism, you can set your watch after
 Big hand captured, little man chasin', it do tick faster
 The hour coming rough, these finders fee, start downhill running
 Lickety split
 Skin the spliff like a onion, clock struck mid-stroke
 We finished in a pumpkin, don't come round with that "go slow"
 We sick of waiting, it's go mode
 Battle of Algiers with the GoPro
 Loathing and fear, all roads lead to Rome
 Shook the hourglass like a snow-globe
 Auntie had the JC Penny Timex flooded with rhinestones
 Tapped the face like swiss movement
 It's easy to lose track and get trapped in the future
 They said time is on my side
 They said time is on my side
 They said time is on my side (oh, it is)
 They said time is on my side (oh, it is)
 Golden hour, portal to Orangeburg, '68
 Live ammunition, state troopers stormed the gates
 Laughing, lucky I made it back alive with just the shakes
 Still feel the rounds flying past my face
 Flashes, bastards
 In the end, nine acquitted assassins, post-traumatic
 Had to go back to lighten the load of the allostatic
 In my present flesh body
 The center won't hold, miss watching how a flat circle fold
 They slept proudly
 One last shot, time is on your side 'til it's not
 Flavor Flav clock spins centrifugal
 Rhythm in intervals, possibilities invisible but endless
 Can you find the level of difficulty in this?
 Travelling 50 years back, I only moved the pen six inches
 Woke on the benches
 Pale faces beyond the fire, rabid with the sickness
 Buckshot rang out, flinching, panic, confusion
 Come off feet, ducking, skin of teeth, winded
 Data thief cosplay dead drop at the end of the world
 More brilliant than a sunbeam, drum skin stretched
 Time is on my side
 Time is on my side
 Time is on my side
