[Sadat X]<br>
The time is running out, tick-tock, like the grains of sand<br>
Every man sharpens man, like steel sharpens steel<br>
The threat of a war is real<br>
Where my soldiers for the battlefield?<br>
<br>
And as the days of the two-oh approach<br>
I drop a seed in my girl, so I can stay in this world<br>
And decompose the foes that jumped up under our clothes<br>
We living on rows on top of rows and, half our stores is clothed<br>
We still trickin out, jerkin out<br>
Half the project workin out<br>
They buildin underground cities<br>
While we concerned about seein titties<br>
With they secret, commities, and society, orders<br>
They carryin out the slaughter<br>
Picture your daughter on State's for a quarter<br>
My old Uncle Sam fought in the war of Vietnam<br>
Got caught with napalm and burned off half his fuckin arm<br>
The government knew then about the lasting effects<br>
And they cut off his checks<br>
and if he wild out he'll be murdered<br>
Or possibly herded, to the VA Hospi-tal<br>
Where they got em under on roof<br>
Where they can conceal the proof<br>
You can see shit changin cat it can't stay the same<br>
Damn I wish the government didn't have my real name<br>
<br>
[Lord Jamar]<br>
The time is running out, tick-tock, like the grains of sand<br>
Every man sharpens man, like steel sharpens steel<br>
The threat of a war is real<br>
Where my soldiers for the battlefield?<br>
<br>
[Sadat X]<br>
The time is running out, tick-tock, like the grains of sand<br>
Every man sharpens man, like steel sharpens steel<br>
The threat of a war is real<br>
Where my soldiers for the battlefield?<br>
<br>
[Lord Jamar]<br>
Time for my army to get it on, we marched upon the lawn<br>
out in D.C., stated our word is bond on TV<br>
Unfold the prophecy left in the cold by democracy<br>
This whole world is based on hypocrisy<br>
It's evil to the roots and now we burn and loot, and shoot guns<br>
Extort funds, kidnap another Patty Hearst<br>
and tap her daddy's purse, anarchist, smoking cannabis<br>
wrapped in brown leaves, you now trapped with the town thieves<br>
The ground breathes in the fumes of death<br>
Clouds loom from the smoke, of the fires we set<br>
We travel underground the sewer system, and train tunnels<br>
We let you know that you was victims, of brain funnels<br>
Information like computer generation, see<br>
Proper Education Always Causes Elevation<br>
It's time for liberation, we gonna put this plan in activation<br>
Government assassination, written in revelation<br>
<br>
[Grand Puba]<br>
Pardon me mister, well it's the eight-five resister to give<br>
your brain cell a blister so fine-tune your resistor<br>
Every ghetto corner's goner so I think that should wanna<br>
take heed to the seed, once I plant it we can feed<br>
Now we stuck on stupid in a state of unawareness<br>
Makes us, fearless endearless<br>
Recklessness makes us careless<br>
This idiology, stupidity, lack of idealogy<br>
periodically destroys us psychologically<br>
Cipher's dimension is viewed on dissension<br>
Like a undetected chemical that creates mad tension<br>
We all been inject now we all become infected<br>
Ways and action of our people is the way that we detect it<br>
It's gettin trifer, we should run the six sects<br>
Taking tons of you now follow by, twenty-one ciphers<br>
But we don't, cause we frozen, posin, at thirty-two degrees<br>
That's no way for the chosen to be dosin<br>
<br>
The time is running out, tick-tock, like the grains of sand<br>
Every man sharpens man, like steel sharpens steel<br>
The threat of a war is real<br>
Where my soldiers for the battlefield?<br>
<br>
[Lord Jamar]<br>
The time is running out, tick-tock, like the grains of sand<br>
Every man sharpens man, like steel sharpens steel<br>
The threat of a war is real<br>
Where my soldiers for the battlefield?<br>
<br>
[Sadat X]<br>
Cause right about this time, they tryin to trace my moves<br>
by simple things like bills, they tryin to mark my location<br>
At home or on vacation through my ChemicalBank card<br>
They tryin to kill the God and through my food feed me lard<br>
<br>
[Grand Puba]<br>
It be that lesson temptation for them devilish type creations<br>
Making the black mind feeble with they thought pattern Evil<br>
like Kneival, or conniving, got no time for eighty-fiving<br>
It's time to educate instead of wasting all our time<br>
<br>
[Lord Jamar]<br>
We goin to hell in a handbasket, fell into a casket<br>
Cause for drastic measures, we should all stick together<br>
Final Call, we better heed instead of chasin after cheddar cheese<br>
Before we back to slavery commitin acts of bravery yo<br>
<br>
The time is running out, tick-tock, like the grains of sand<br>
Every man sharpens man, like steel sharpens steel<br>
The threat of a war is real<br>
Where my soldiers for the battlefield?<br>
<br>
[Sadat X]<br>
The time is running out, tick-tock, like the grains of sand<br>
Every man sharpens man, like steel sharpens steel<br>
The threat of a war is real<br>
Where my soldiers for the battlefield?<br>
<br>
