Ahaha - keeping on. keeping on - keep your head on
Time is ticking - ticking - Time is ticking, ticking away. Uh ah hey

1
Let's talk about time - ticking away - every day
So wake on up - fore it's gone away
Get to power, when you stay up like the sun
remind to stop - then what's done is done
So let ya today stay with ya back on
keep your body and soul and your mind going
the right track - in fact -
you gotta stay on till real black
don't turn around and don't look back
We're trying to take the poverty into another level
Red dog, did you pee ? Mr. Pee got me shevel
level with ya
I played in a frown pidgin
But now i got my men -
a cellblock like once did you
I used to be a pee, trying to clock jee
Even while bless you before you bless me
that's the lifestyle
and I can see it on the evening news
It's just another novel show
and we've been streched during time
 [bad word] *2
Time is ticking away
You gotta live your life - day by day
happy or sad, good or bad
life is too short you gotta keep your head

2
Keep your head - one more time
and feel the rhythm
I'm telling you, life is too short,
you know the feeling
You wanna do more - your self-esteem is in your way
You better take you can - and live it day by day
but anyway - I'm going for a mile,I'm still focused
no joke - they still got me hanging from the rope
take time - and still do the right thing
and not the wrong - so listen to the words of the song
tic tac - a second's away from judgment day
so get your mind ready - get the evils out your way
bring back - we got no slap - we get fat
there was a message on this track - it's exact
the way we're feeling - in the ninetynineties
chilling away - in the mix you'll find me
rewind me - and turn back my mind
think about the homies in the pit, going time

Ref.

Once again - CBK on the track
to make up your mind
who knows what tomorrow might bring
violence, [bad word] - who knows
cause the time is slipping away

The world keeps spinning around and round
We gotta keep ourselves up, going down
a world full of passion, pleasure and pain
the pressures getting to my brain

Ref 2x
