Intro
Ahaha ahaha
keep it on, keep it on
keep your head on
time is tickin, time is tickin
tickin away
uhhohuho
Rap 1
Lets talk about time
tickin away every day
so wake on up before its gone away
catch the 411 and stay up like the sun
remind yourself whats 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
dont turn around and dont look back
we tryin to take the positive to another level
Red Dogg diggin deep Mr. P got the shouvel
Ill 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 'Gs' living wild blast
you before you blast me thats the lifestyle
and I could see it on the evening news
its just another brutha shot
on either stretched doin time
Hookline
Time is tickin away
youve gotta - live your life
day by day
happy or sad, good or bad,
life is to short
youve gotta - keep your head (2x)
Rap 2
Keep your head one more time and feel the rythm
Im tellin your life is to short you know the feelin
you want to do more your selfesteem is in the way
you better take a kid and live it day by day
but anyway Im going for mine Im still broke its no joke
they still got me hangin from the ropes
take time and still do the right thing
and not the wrong so listen to the words of the song
Tick Tock your seconds away from the judgement day
so get your mind ready take the Evils but out way
bring back we cut no slack we kick facts
the positive message on this tracks is exact the way we feel it
in the nineteen 90s chillin with red in the mix your find me - rewind me
and turn back my mind thinkin 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 slippin away
Bridge
The world keeps spinning
around and round
weve gotta keep ourselves
from going down
in a world full of passion,
pleasure and pain
the pressures get into my brain
