[00:00.000]Time's Runnin' Out (Original Version) - Brand Nubian
[00:11.685]The time's running out tick-tock like the grains of sand
[00:14.975]Every man sharpens man like steel sharpens steel
[00:18.244]The threat of a war is real
[00:20.184]Where my soldiers for the battlefield
[00:23.444]And as the days of the two-oh approach
[00:25.554]I drop a seed in my girl
[00:27.694]So I can stay in this world
[00:29.074]And decompose the foes
[00:30.444]That slipped up under our nose
[00:32.244]We living on rows on top of rows and
[00:34.164]Half our stores is closed
[00:35.813]We still trickin out jerkin out
[00:37.232]Half the project workin out
[00:38.572]They buildin underground cities
[00:39.911]While we worried about seein titties
[00:41.531]With they secret committies
[00:42.721]And society orders
[00:43.980]They carryin out the slaughter
[00:45.420]Picture your daughter on stage for a quarter
[00:46.860]My old Uncle Sam fought in the war of Vietnam
[00:48.330]Got caught with napalm
[00:49.539]And burned off half his f**kin arm
[00:51.229]The government knew
[00:52.289]Then about the lasting effects
[00:53.749]Now they done cut off his checks
[00:55.299]And if he wild out he'll be murdered
[00:57.019]Or possibly herded to the VA Hospi-tal
[00:59.569]Where they got 'em under one roof
[01:01.169]Where they can conceal the proof
[01:02.709]You can see sh*t changin cat
[01:04.169]It can't stay the same
[01:05.868]Damn I wish the government
[01:07.248]Didn't have my real name
[01:08.748]Put down that glass of champagne
[01:10.998]It seems yo' a** ain't heard a damn thing
[01:12.578]That I've been sayin niggaz steady playin
[01:14.398]Like it's recess in the schoolyard
[01:15.997]Jewels from the God
[01:17.107]Cast to the foolish heart
[01:18.677]Meanwhile the white militia's training
[01:20.796]Like Freemen in Montana aiming they guns
[01:22.175]Son I told you revolution would come
[01:23.555]Way back in '91
[01:25.145]You might find me on the run
[01:26.465]Forced to be a fugitive
[01:28.045]But livin my life like a pugilist
[01:29.375]Always givin Devils hell
[01:30.525]Rebels rest under a shell
[01:32.995]We packin knives made in Israel
[01:34.625]Preparin for the comin confrontation

[02:19.491]Like a undetected chemical
[02:20.971]That creates mad tension
