Children, groovin, women, confusion
 Then go away, it's time to understand
 Everyone's got to make a livin
 Children, groovin, women, confusion
 Then go away, it's time to understand
 Everyone's got to make a livin
 Nineteen-ninety-two and, you and I were fightin
 LAPD beatings got the whole world frontin
 My man Rodney King and the Reginald ?Deeney?
 You could look for justice but I bet you won't find any
 Because people getting beatin, news keep repeatin
 Chaos and anger, just surely peakin
 Yo everybody's runnin, some of them are gunnin
 Avalanche the block, feel the anger, wantin something
 'Cause some of them are frontin
 They didnt know the reason
 Emotion in the end made it feel like revolution
 And yeah, yeah, you can yell out your brains
 I tell you right now, we got eight years of chains
 Hook:
 So hurry up because I'm runnin out of clip
 Runnin out of time
 Runnin out of clip
 Runnin out of time
 Runnin out of clip
 Runnin out of time
 Runnin out of clip (What)
 Runnin out of time
 Chorus
 Nineteen-ninety-seven, reduction of a nation
 The government is slayin, new laws is what you're facin
 Next comes the clonin, they're makin new creation
 Secretly forming soldiers of you and they station
 No more free education on former segregation
 Politics's about affirmative activation
 So make a run for the border
 Caught by the deporter
 The immigration caught you but you got to leave your daughter
 We are slowly being slaughtered
 So be prepared for the new world order
 Yeah, yeah, you can yell out your brains
 I tell you right now, we got eight years of chains
 Hook
 Chorus
 Year two-thousand, what's it really holdin
 Or is it really right, live beyond on what you're knowing
 Or is it that technology is what keeps on going
 Could it be that the end of time is what I'm showing
 I don't see any grass growin
 Everything's conquered, we're running out of land
 And goddamn yo, I'm runnin out of clip
 I'm almost out of time
 Runnin out of
 Damn, I'm almost out of time
 We could all try now but just look up in the sky
 We ain't got no ozone left, we are gonna die
 Crime and corruption, is the only season
 Is it 'cause the reason is that we out of time
