Time Is Tickin' Away

(Album: General Population - 1997)

[Intro]
Ahaha ahaha
keep it on, keep it on
keep your head on
time is ticking, time is ticking
ticking away
uhhohuho

[Rap 1]
Let's talk about time
ticking away every day
so wake on up before it's gone away
catch the 411 and stay up like the sun
remind yourself what's done is done
so let yesterday stay with the bygones
keep your body and soul and your mind on
the right track infact you gotta stay on the real black
don't turn around and don't look back
we trying to take the positive to another level
Red Dogg digging deep Mr. P got the shouvel
I'll level with you I played in a foul picture
but now I got my mental sewel up like a stitcher
I used to be a "P" try on to clock "G's" living wild blast
you before you blast me thats the lifestyle
and I could see it on the evening news
it's just another brutha shot
on either stretched doin time

[Hookline]
Time is ticking away
you've gotta live your life
day by day
happy or sad, good or bad,
life is to short
you've gotta keep your head [2x]

[Rap 2]
Keep your head one more time and feel the rythm
I'm telling your life is to short you know the feeling
you want to do more your selfesteem is in the way
you better take a kid and live it day by day
but anyway I'm going for mine I'm still broke it's no joke
they still got me hanging from the rope's
take time and still do the right thing
and not the wrong so listen to the word's of the song
Tick Tock your seconds away from the judgement day
so get your mind ready take the Evil's but out way
bring back we cut no slack we kick fact's
the positive message on this tracks is exact the way we feel it
in the nineteen 90's chilling with red in the mix your find me rewind me
and turn back my mind thinking about the homies
is the pen doing time

[Hookline]

Prayer
Once again
CBK on da track
to wake up your mind
who know what tomorrow night bring
violence destruction who knows?
'cause time is slipping away

[Bridge]
The world keeps spinning
around and round
we've gotta keep ourselves
from going down
in a world full of passion,
pleasure and pain
the pressure's get into my brain

[Hookline 2x]
