Time keeps slipping, keeps slipping
Time, time keeps slipping
Time, time keeps slipping
Time, time keeps slipping
Yo, the only thing Major dont waste is time in bed
My time is rare, take time, time to prepare
No time for fear, how many times I said it this year?
At what time ya going to realize that time is near?
Call a time out, Scritti Politti, Major climb down
The cracks of the streets waste no time on beats
Mos Def, most definitely the rap chief
The new release, time to make cream, time to take a piece
And at the same time, time to rebuild, time is rilla
I swear I bring the heat, the tracks to Val Kilmer
You know that time waits for no man, in time youll see
That youre wasting all you time while youre watching TV
And yo Scritti, Im on it like walls to graffiti
From night sticks, to plungers, to NYPD
From Lucille BB King, youve seen me rhyme
You stay away from drama if its wasting your time
The time tables keep turning from Tinseltown
Youve got the both ends burning up to the Boogiedown
Time, time keeps slipping
They play for time and work for spaces
The time tables keep turning and clocks are wound
Youve got the both ends burning up and worked around
Time, time keeps slipping
And in their prime they change their faces
Yeah, from Boogiedown to the Tinseltown I had em all gettin down
My baggage claims got exotic names, I get around
How Im livin now, well thats a whole lot different now
From where Im sitting now, got a whole clearer vision now
I played the tables hard, wild cards I was flipping now
My partners hittin pounds, somewhere up in prison now
Im flippin high, things switch and change so suddenly
The way you act today is tomorrows where you wanna be
You company shifts when you start livin comfortably
Spotlights switch and then you dip right from under me
Dont front for me, I want to be perfectly clear
Time is here, Im keepin yesterday in the rear
A current affair, Mos Def and Lee Majors appear
Bout to write this little ditty with the Scritti, you hear
And its about that time, so if you could be then would you
Sit back and look at who times bein good to
The time tables keep turning from Tinseltown
Youve got the both ends burning up to the Boogiedown
Time, time keeps slipping
They play for time and work for spaces
The time tables keep turning and clocks are wound
Youve got the both ends burning up and worked around
Time, time keeps slipping
And in their prime they change their faces
At one time I thought I had it all, mass of broads
Flash awards, cash cards, times a double-edged sword
One day you hear applause, next day when you leave
You catch a L in the C like Christopher Reeves
Do you all believe that these cats threw dirt on my name?
Give em time, they couldnt win if I gave em point game
At times I used to swerve, now Im learning my lane
Trapped in time, what a shame with nobody to blame
I waits for no one and fat and slow ones, the rich no funs
The Samurais and Shoguns, the first stringer no runs
Ayyo gun, youd better hope to it or you blow, son
This time keeps slipping, make no difference if you dont come
Its bein well recorded how we advise we
Get on our game and spend these moments wisely
Its time to make chase, give pace, no time to waste
First you on, then you gone so long, you been replaced
The time tables keep turning from Cali High
Youve got the both ends burning up to the do or die
Time, time keeps slipping
They set their hearts and fix their courses
The time tables keep turning and dreams of dreams
Youve got the both ends burning up of how it seems
Time, time keeps slipping
They steel themselves, they are resources
The time tables keep turning from Tinseltown
Youve got the both ends burning up to the Boogiedown
Time, time keeps slipping
They play for time and work for spaces
The time tables keep turning and clocks are wound
Youve got the both ends burning up and worked around
Time, time keeps slipping
And in their prime they change their faces
The time tables keep turning
Youve got the both ends burning up
And all the lies youve been learning
To keep the future on hold
The time tables keep turning
Youve got the both ends burning up
And all the lies youve been learning
To keep the future on hold
