Nowhere Fast Lyrics - Blazing Arrow - Blackalicious

Now you, now you, now you, now you, now you, whoever you are 

As you're listening to what I'm going to say 

Will probably not want to believe what I'm going to tell you 

And there isn't any way in which I can make you believe 

I can only state the facts as they are 

And hope that you will really believe me 

Hey yesterday, you were supposed to meet me now I got to testify 

I waited hours for you, guess that all was just a lie 

Quick as you stepped inside soon enough you said goodbye 

Peace out! I'm gone and won't be back! I heard your echo cry 

Oh how the seconds fly left without a second try 

I check and try to recollect how I just let you die 

And now I wallow in these severed ties 

Of yesterday 

Of yesterday girl, your really gone I guess that's how it just should be 

I had big plans for us today but now you're history 

Today's a mystery you took pieces I miss of me 

I keep on diggin' deep tryin' to find that kid in me 

We had some really good discussions back then, didn't we? 

Befriended me but now we don't speak like we're enemies 

And all I got is memories 

Of yesterday 

But yesterday memories are priceless and I'm really glad you left 'em 

They're etched inside I take a ride when driftin' through the spectrum 

It's just at times I dwell and dwell and then I have to catch up 

To now I'm back in time it ceased to march it just kept on 

I want you back I want you back when you was here I slept on 

What I appreciate a little more now as a blessing 

Now I'm complaining and regretting 

About yesterday 

And I'm just goin' nowhere fast 

I don't try to stay here 

I just fly away here 

Out of my oasis 

I am not complacent 

I don't try to stay here 

I just fly away here 

Out of my oasis 

I am not complacent 

You're stuck in a flurry of illusions goin' nowhere fast 

I am today, I'm all that ever was and ever is and uh 

It is an honor, don't become a mental prisoner 

Just listen to the now and keep your mind from driftin' off 

I am the mission, the position of this instance uh 

New opportunity to get the love you're wishin' for 

To kick the door in to live for your ambitions, what? 

You can move on out to elevate your existence up 

Today 

I'm just today, I'm just the way I am 

I am ever single day I am 

I'm February, April, March and even May I am 

I'm only what you make me hope I'm what you pray I am 

Today I am, I'm never really far away I am 

You better stalk me like the hunter does the prey I am 

You play I am out in the future yes today I am 

I'm everything your memory say I am 

Today 

So seize me, I'm here to serve you if you serve me back 

It's easy, but difficult that's time alone squeeze me 

From beaming your feet when your all your actions turn to banking 

An inkling, a hint, I'm moving faster than your blinking 

So treat to just a slice of heaven why you cheat me? 

Deceive me and now I'm hell inside these thoughts that link me 

To flesh the soul it's bound to I was truly made to be free 

Today 

Instead I'm going nowhere fast 

I don't try to stay here 

I just fly away here 

Out of my oasis 

I am not complacent 

I don't try to stay here 

I just fly away here 

Out of my oasis 

I am not complacent 

I'm only saying this to show how all around 

Man or beast sleep away their gift of time 

And never know the beauty of a good life below 

I'm 'bout to change the way I'm livin' homey 

I'm eatin' vegan, no ham or baloney 

I'm startin' off my day with yoga stretches 

I'm 'bout to master self to study lessons 

I'm swearin' off the weed and alcohol 

I won't be affected by doubts at all 

The sky's the limit, watch I'm 'bout to ball 

Tomorrow? Tomorrow 

I'm spendin' every single dollar wisely 

I'm writin' songs that's bumpin' like the Isleys 

I'll have the answers you can all confide in me 

Nothin' the day could bring that will surprise me 

I'm buildin' to the fullest every minute 

I'm through talkin' the talk, I'm 'bout to live it 

Ain't even started yet, I'm at the finish line 

Tomorrow? Tomorrow 

Man I can't wait until it's here I'm sayin' 

Oh what, you hatin'? What, you think I'm playin'? 

You think I ain't? Just go ahead and watch me 

I'll use the lessons yesterday has taught me 

I'm countin' hours, minutes even seconds 

Man I can't even sleep, I'll build my Heaven 

Oh what, it's here? Oh, oh what, it's gone? 

Don't even trip, just give me one more day 

It's really gonna be on tomorrow 

I don't try to stay here 

I just fly away here 

Out of my oasis 

(You're stuck in a flurry of illusions goin' nowhere fast) 

I am not complacent 

I don't try to stay here 

I just fly away here 

Out of my oasis 

(You're stuck in a flurry of illusions goin' nowhere fast) 

I am not complacent 

I don't try to stay here 

I just fly away here 

Out of my oasis 

(You're stuck in a flurry of illusions goin' nowhere fast) 

I am not complacent 

I don't try to stay here 

I just fly away here 

Out of my oasis 

(You're stuck in a flurry of illusions goin' nowhere fast) 

I am not complacent 

There we are 

All finished 

And you don't know how much I appreciate your pardon 

Watch out blazing arrow 

Do it just how you talk it 

Nigga rolled in and walk it 

Stick a toe in the water 

Don't falter, go on and fall in 

Tell me, do you know your calling? 

Yo, what your mission is fella? 

I caught this vision when I met a fortune teller in New Orleans 

French Quarter on the bus bench an arbitrary corner 

Sorta scary looking elder woman showed up outta nowhere 

She stared into my eyes and said 

"Sure as I breathe 

You were conceived and walk the earth to 

Spit that heat, purifying I believe 

So are you ready for your cleansin'? 

'Cause this is only the beginning"
