[Sadat X]

The time is running out, tick-tock, like the grains of sand

Every man sharpens man, like steel sharpens steel

The threat of a war is real

Where my soldiers for the battlefield?



And as the days of the two-oh approach

I drop a seed in my girl, so I can stay in this world

And decompose the foes that jumped up under our clothes

We living on rows on top of rows and, half our stores is clothed

We still trickin out, jerkin out

Half the project workin out

They buildin underground cities

While we concerned about seein titties

With they secret, commities, and society, orders

They carryin out the slaughter

Picture your daughter on State's for a quarter

My old Uncle Sam fought in the war of Vietnam

Got caught with napalm and burned off half his fuckin arm

The government knew then about the lasting effects

And they cut off his checks

and if he wild out he'll be murdered

Or possibly herded, to the VA Hospi-tal

Where they got em under on roof

Where they can conceal the proof

You can see shit changin cat it can't stay the same

Damn I wish the government didn't have my real name

The time is running out, tick-tock, like the grains of sand

[Lord Jamar]

Time for my army to get it on, we marched upon the lawn

out in D.C., stated our word is bond on TV

Unfold the prophecy left in the cold by democracy

This whole world is based on hypocrisy

It's evil to the roots and now we burn and loot, and shoot guns

Extort funds, kidnap another Patty Hearst

and tap her daddy's purse, anarchist, smoking cannabis

wrapped in brown leaves, you now trapped with the town thieves

The ground breathes in the fumes of death

Clouds loom from the smoke, of the fires we set

We travel underground the sewer system, and train tunnels

We let you know that you was victims, of brain funnels

Information like computer generation, see

Proper Education Always Causes Elevation

It's time for liberation, we gonna put this plan in activation

Government assassination, written in revelation



[Grand Puba]

Pardon me mister, well it's the eight-five resister to give

your brain cell a blister so fine-tune your resistor

Every ghetto corner's goner so I think that should wanna

take heed to the seed, once I plant it we can feed

Now we stuck on stupid in a state of unawareness

Makes us, fearless endearless

Recklessness makes us careless

This idiology, stupidity, lack of idealogy

periodically destroys us psychologically

Cipher's dimension is viewed on dissension

Like a undetected chemical that creates mad tension

We all been inject now we all become infected

Ways and action of our people is the way that we detect it

It's gettin trifer, we should run the six sects

Taking tons of you now follow by, twenty-one ciphers

But we don't, cause we frozen, posin, at thirty-two degrees

That's no way for the chosen to be dosin



The time is running out, tick-tock, like the grains of sand

Every man sharpens man, like steel sharpens steel

[Sadat X]

Cause right about this time, they tryin to trace my moves

by simple things like bills, they tryin to mark my location

At home or on vacation through my ChemicalBank card

They tryin to kill the God and through my food feed me lard



[Grand Puba]

It be that lesson temptation for them devilish type creations

Making the black mind feeble with they thought pattern Evil

like Kneival, or conniving, got no time for eighty-fiving

It's time to educate instead of wasting all our time



[Lord Jamar]

We goin to hell in a handbasket, fell into a casket

Cause for drastic measures, we should all stick together

Final Call, we better heed instead of chasin after cheddar cheese

Before we back to slavery commitin acts of bravery yo
