Time's Runnin' Out (Original Version) - Brand Nubian |
| [00:11.68] |
The time's running out tick-tock like the grains of sand |
| [00:14.97] |
Every man sharpens man like steel sharpens steel |
| [00:18.24] |
The threat of a war is real |
| [00:20.18] |
Where my soldiers for the battlefield |
| [00:23.44] |
And as the days of the two-oh approach |
| [00:25.55] |
I drop a seed in my girl |
| [00:27.69] |
So I can stay in this world |
| [00:29.07] |
And decompose the foes |
| [00:30.44] |
That slipped up under our nose |
| [00:32.24] |
We living on rows on top of rows and |
| [00:34.16] |
Half our stores is closed |
| [00:35.81] |
We still trickin out jerkin out |
| [00:37.23] |
Half the project workin out |
| [00:38.57] |
They buildin underground cities |
| [00:39.91] |
While we worried about seein titties |
| [00:41.53] |
With they secret committies |
| [00:42.72] |
And society orders |
| [00:43.98] |
They carryin out the slaughter |
| [00:45.42] |
Picture your daughter on stage for a quarter |
| [00:46.86] |
My old Uncle Sam fought in the war of Vietnam |
| [00:48.33] |
Got caught with napalm |
| [00:49.53] |
And burned off half his f**kin arm |
| [00:51.22] |
The government knew |
| [00:52.28] |
Then about the lasting effects |
| [00:53.74] |
Now they done cut off his checks |
| [00:55.29] |
And if he wild out he'll be murdered |
| [00:57.01] |
Or possibly herded to the VA Hospi-tal |
| [00:59.56] |
Where they got 'em under one roof |
| [01:01.16] |
Where they can conceal the proof |
| [01:02.70] |
You can see sh*t changin cat |
| [01:04.16] |
It can't stay the same |
| [01:05.86] |
Damn I wish the government |
| [01:07.24] |
Didn't have my real name |
| [01:08.74] |
Put down that glass of champagne |
| [01:10.99] |
It seems yo' a** ain't heard a damn thing |
| [01:12.57] |
That I've been sayin niggaz steady playin |
| [01:14.39] |
Like it's recess in the schoolyard |
| [01:15.99] |
Jewels from the God |
| [01:17.10] |
Cast to the foolish heart |
| [01:18.67] |
Meanwhile the white militia's training |
| [01:20.79] |
Like Freemen in Montana aiming they guns |
| [01:22.17] |
Son I told you revolution would come |
| [01:23.55] |
Way back in '91 |
| [01:25.14] |
You might find me on the run |
| [01:26.46] |
Forced to be a fugitive |
| [01:28.04] |
But livin my life like a pugilist |
| [01:29.37] |
Always givin Devils hell |
| [01:30.52] |
Rebels rest under a shell |
| [01:32.99] |
We packin knives made in Israel |
| [01:34.62] |
Preparin for the comin confrontation |
| [01:36.23] |
What the f**k y'all niggaz waitin for |
| [01:38.48] |
We in a state of |
| [01:40.11] |
War 1997 ain't gon' be no slice of heaven |
| [01:42.62] |
Like Richard Gere I hope this touch yo' Primal Fear |
| [01:45.09] |
Four years is the turn of the century |
| [01:47.38] |
I guess we gon' learn eventually |
| [01:49.24] |
They wanna burn books that mention me |
| [01:51.54] |
Take a look into your future tell me what you see |
| [01:54.00] |
Pardon me mister |
| [01:55.43] |
Well it's the eight-five resister to give |
| [01:56.80] |
Your brain cell a blister |
| [01:58.20] |
So fine-tune your resistor |
| [01:59.49] |
Every ghetto corner's goner |
| [02:01.03] |
So I think that you should wanna |
| [02:02.99] |
Take heed to the seed |
| [02:04.38] |
Once I plant it we can feed |
| [02:06.22] |
Now we stuck on stupid |
| [02:06.90] |
In a state of unawareness |
| [02:09.10] |
Makes us fearless endearless |
| [02:10.61] |
Recklessness makes us careless |
| [02:12.33] |
This idiology stupidity lack of idealogy |
| [02:14.48] |
Periodically destroys us psychologically |
| [02:16.79] |
Cipher's dimension is viewed on dissension |
| [02:19.49] |
Like a undetected chemical |
| [02:20.97] |
That creates mad tension |
| [02:22.25] |
We all been injected now |
| [02:23.60] |
We all become infected |
| [02:24.49] |
Ways and action of our people is |
| [02:26.68] |
The way that we dissect it |
| [02:28.11] |
It's gettin trifer we should run the six sects |
| [02:30.22] |
Taking tons of you now follow by |
| [02:32.06] |
Twenty-one ciphers |
| [02:33.40] |
But we don't cause we frozen |
| [02:35.04] |
Posin at thirty-two degrees |
| [02:36.77] |
That's no way for the chosen to be dosin |
| [02:39.54] |
The time's running out tick-tock like the grains of sand |
| [02:42.57] |
Every man sharpens man like steel sharpens steel |
| [02:45.44] |
The threat of a war is real |
| [02:47.33] |
Where my soldiers for the battlefield |
| [02:50.69] |
The time's running out tick-tock like the grains of sand |
| [02:53.71] |
Every man sharpens man like steel sharpens steel |
| [02:56.98] |
The threat of a war is real |
| [02:59.27] |
Where my soldiers for the battlefield |
| [03:01.94] |
Cause right about this time |
| [03:03.20] |
They tryin to trace my moves |
| [03:04.68] |
By simple things like bills |
| [03:06.17] |
They tryin to mark my location |
| [03:07.55] |
At home or on vacation |
| [03:08.24] |
Through my ChemicalBank card |
| [03:09.95] |
They tryin to kill the God |
| [03:11.63] |
And through my food feed me lard |
| [03:13.08] |
It be that lesson temptation |
| [03:13.78] |
For them devilish type creations |
| [03:15.93] |
Making the black mind feeble |
| [03:16.63] |
With they thought pattern Evel |
| [03:18.70] |
Like Knievel or conniving |
| [03:19.36] |
Got no time for eighty-fiving |
| [03:21.67] |
It's time to educate instead of wastin time jiving |
| [03:23.84] |
We goin to hell in a handbasket |
| [03:25.82] |
Fell into a casket |
| [03:27.46] |
Cause for drastic measures |
| [03:28.11] |
We should all stick together |
| [03:30.28] |
Final Call we better heed instead of chasin |
| [03:33.00] |
After cheddar cheese |
| [03:33.62] |
Before we back to slavery commitin acts of bravery |
| [03:36.15] |
The time's running out tick-tock like the grains of sand |
| [03:38.80] |
Every man sharpens man like steel sharpens steel |
| [03:42.26] |
The threat of a war is real |
| [03:44.80] |
Where my soldiers for the battlefield |
| [03:47.31] |
The time's running out tick-tock like the grains of sand |
| [03:50.70] |
Every man sharpens man like steel sharpens steel |
| [03:53.47] |
The threat of a war is real |
| [03:55.33] |
Where my soldiers for the battlefield |
