[Intro]
AmAh Gkeepin' on, Fkeepin' on.Am  
Keep your Fhead on.G  
AmTime is tickin', Ftime is tickin'
GTickin' away AmuoFh.    Em  AmHeyG.F  
[Rap]
Let's talk about Amtime tickin' away
Ev'ry day.
So Gwake on up for it's Fgoin' away.
Get the AmBo one one and stay up like the sun.
ReGmind yourself that what's Fdone is done.
So maybe Amafter today's day
With the back gone on
Keep your Gbody and soul
And your Fmind on the right Amtrack.
In fact you gotta stay on the real black,
GDon't turn around and Fdon't look back.
We're tryin' to Amtake the poverty
To another level.
Red Gdog diggin' deep, Mr FPete got the shovel.
A Amlevel which he played in the field pitch
But Gnow I got my men all sold Fup like a stitcha.
I Amused to be a Pee tryin' to clock G's livin' wild.
GBlast you before you blast Fme.
That's the life style
AmAnd I can see it on the ev'ning news.
It's just aGnother brother shot down
With the Fstretch doin' time.
[Chorus]
AmTime is tickin' awaGy.F  
You gotta Amlive your life Fday by Gday.
AmHappy or sad, Fgood or Gbad.
AmLife is to short, you gotta Fkeep your Emhead.
AmTime is tickin' awaGy.F  
You gotta Amlive your life Fday by Gday.
AmHappy or sad, Fgood or Gbad.
AmLife is to short, you gotta Fkeep your Emhead.
[Rap]
Keep your Amhead one more time
And feel the rhythm.
I'm Gtellin' you life is too Fshort,
You know the feelin'.
You Amwanna do more,
Your self-esteem is in the way.
You Gbetter take a kid in,
Live it Fday by day.
But anyAmway, I'm goin' for mine,
I'm still poor, it's no Gjoke.
They still got me Fhangin' from the ropes.
Take Amtime and still do the right thing
And not the Gwrong,
So listen to the Fwords of the song.
Tick Amtack it's seconds away from judgment day.
So Gget your mind ready,
Get the Fevils out your way.
Bring Amback, we could not slack,
We'll keep fat.
The Gbottom message on this Ftrack is exact.
The way we Amfeel it in the nineteen nineties.
Chillin with GRae, in the Fmix you'll find me.
ReAmwind me and turn back my mind.
GThink about the hommies in the Fpin doin' time.
[Chorus]
AmTime is tickin' awaGy.F  
You gotta Amlive your life Fday by Gday.
AmHappy or sad, Fgood or Gbad.
AmLife is to short, you gotta Fkeep your Emhead.
[Bridge 1]
AmOnce again FCBK on a Gtrack.
AmSo wake up your mind.
FWho knows what toGmorrow might bring.
AmFar less, FdesGtructionAm, who knows?
'Cause Ftime is slippin' Gaway.
[Bridge 2]
The Amworld keeps standing aFround and Ground.
We've Amgotta keep ourselves from Fgoin' Emdown.
In a Amworld full of passion, Fpleasure and Gpain
The Dmpressure's gettin' to my Fbrain.
[Chorus]
AmTime is tickin' awaGy.F  
You gotta Amlive your life Fday by Gday.
AmHappy or sad, Fgood or Gbad.
AmLife is to short, you gotta Fkeep your Emhead.
AmTime is tickin' awaGy.F  
You gotta Amlive your life Fday by Gday.
AmHappy or sad, Fgood or Gbad.
AmLife is to short, you gotta Fkeep your EmheadAm.

They still got me hangin' from the ropes.

Take time and still do the right thing

And not the wrong,
