[Intro]
With you, for the first time

[Verse 1: Lord Quasimoto]
Today is the shadow of tomorrow
Today is the present future of yesterday
Yesterday is the shadow of today
The darkness of the past is yesterday
And the light of the past is yesterday
The days of yesterday are all numbered in sum
In the world once
Because once upon a time there was a yesterday
Yesterday belongs to the dead
Because the dead belongs to the past, the past is yesterday
Today is the preview of tomorrow but for me
Only for my better and happier point of view
My point of view is the thought of a better or try
Reality is today of eternity
The eternity of yesterday is dead
Yesterday is as one, the eternity of one is the eternity of the past
The past is once upon a time
Once upon a time is past, the past is yesterday today

[Interlude: Sun Ra]
"The music is different here, the vibrations are different
Not like planet Earth
Planet Earth sound of guns—"

[Verse 2: Madlib]
The light of the past is the light which was
The wisdom of the past is the light of the past
The light of the future is the light which is to be
The wisdom of the future is the light of the future see
Yesterday belongs to the dead
Tomorrow belongs to the living
The past is certified as a finished product
Anything which has ended is finished
That which is perfect is finished
The perfect man is no exception to the rule
The perfect man of the past is made according to the rule of the past
The rule of the past is a law of injustice and hypocrisy
The revelation of the meaning of the law is revealed through the law itself
The wisdom of the past is the light of the past
The light which is to be the wisdom of the future
The light of the future casts the shadows of tomorrow

[Outro: Sun Ra, Madlib & Quasimoto]
"The news is different here—"
Sun Ra —Ra
Lord Quas
Madlib
"Under different stars
That would be where the ultimate destiny would come in
Equation wise, the first thing to do is to
Consider time as officially ended"
