1982 - Race Against Time lyrics

rate me

Whoa-o-o-oo-h

Uh-huh...

Just hopped off the phone with my man

Out in Tokyo, Japan

Said he got no lights

And he had a rough night

His people were suffering

Earthquake, tsunami and all of that

People looking for their kids

They ain't callin' back

Got tears in their eyes

Can’t hold em back

Hope your pain heal fast

Can’t change the past

I’m gettin' faded

Thinking of how my day went

Thinking of how I'm lucky

I made it in entertainment

Duckin' federal agents

Cuffin' us in the rain

Man, my brothers lock down

Be patient, you gon' make it.

Can’t stop a bird from taking flight

Forget the worries

You’d better go out & live your life

And even coming up in the worst place

You could still be first place

In this race against time.

[CHORUS]

Tonight's the night

I just opened my eyes

This world is crashing on site

I’m thinking "God, oh my my"

I’m just speaking my mind,

Can’t you read between lines

I’m just tryin to catch up

But it’s a race against time.

They say the world is one third land

And two thirds water

Lost one third of my fam

To upsurge slaughter

The wealthy only want new pearls

This part of me

I’m worrying about the

New World Order

Global warming,

Abnormal stormin’

Twenty degrees (F) in spring time

That’s is a warning

Now here’s the new shhh

I just heard they’ve found radioactive water

Up in Massachusetts

Now that’s a long way

From the Japanese coast

All the way to the east coast

So tell your peoples

They don’t need to keep the heat close

For a hater

The biggest enemy to us now is

'Mother nature'

Somebody call Father Time

Tell him get back to the crib

And get his wifey in line

Now hear the pulse of the people

One beat at a time

Keep your head up Japan

The rising sun gon' shine.

[CHORUS]

Reach for the stars ‘cause everything, everything will be okay

We come too far to let people, to the people fall...

[CHORUS]
