Lyrics

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock Tick-tock, tick-tock (yuh) Time's up, motherfucker Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock Yuh, it's the return, black excellence, don't sit next to us Lay it down I'll strip the job less got invest in this Black face industry, lyin', don't invest in me Only want the money off our backs like history In the industry I'm not a slave on the record that rolls brave Call it blessings, acute angle out the rat race I keep from going under, time-ticker for families holdin' this Deception, disequity, used to buy your medikil... I've seen the industry kill dream of a dreamer I've seen the industry kill dream of a dreamer I've seen the industry kill dream of a dreamer I've seen the industry's scheme and it's a killer I've seen the industry kill dream of a dreamer I've seen the industry kill dream of a dreamer I've seen the industry's scheme and it's a killer It's a master plan to break one I'm the scheme, you're the schemer Time's up, black, we're perfect, well all my work published How many times I spot your rhymes and you re-dubbed it? We the inspiration, we the motivation Take our ideas then you be sellin' a variation The hour glass, I'ma crack it The fatter the queen the blacker the talon I'm takin' matters in hands I'd rather challenge the industry, got no dignity But enough reminiscin' me searchin' for the diversity All I see is a bunch of mechanical breakdowns Doin' to the planet to break down On a mission to free ourselves Verbally medicated, put on the shelf We're not for sale, need to ask him for help And I ain't askin' for help (we not askin' for help) We not for sale, not askin' for help Not out to get you on my rage, we just searchin' for son' Go fuck yourself, fuck the game, fuck the blame Fuck the audience, fuck the dance Fuck the list, fuck the obvious 'Cause I've seen the industry kill dream of a dreamer 'Cause I've seen the industry kill dreams and a dreamer And I've seen the industry kill dreams of a dreamer And I've seen the industry scheme and it's a killer And I've seen the industry kill dream of a dreamer And I've seen the industry kill dream of a dreamer And I've seen the industry scheme and it's a killer It's a master plan to break us I'm the schemed they the schemers Tick-tock, tick-tock Tick-tock, tick-tock Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick Time's up (time's up) Time's up motherfucker (tick-tock, tick-tock) Ha! (tick-tock, tick-tock) Time's up motherfucker (tick-tock, tick-tock) Time's up, time's up (tick-tock, tick-tock) Time's up motherfucker (tick-tock, tick-tock) Ha! (tick-tock, tick-tock) Time's up motherfucker (tick-tock, tick-tock) Time's up, time's up motherfucker (tick-tock, tick-tock) Ha!
