I understand that time is running out..
I understand that time, is running out...
I understand that time is running out, I understand that time is running out..
Running out as hastily as n******gs run from the Man..
Time is running out, on our natural habits
Time is running out, on lifeless serpents reigning over a living kingdom
Time is running out of talks, marches, tunes, chants, and all kinds of prayers
Time, is running out of time
Heard someone say, "Things were chaaaaaanging" (Changing - things are changing!)
Change, CHAN-CHAN-CHAN-CHANGINNNNNG... from brown to black
Time is running out on bullsh** changes
Running out like a bushfire in a dry forest
Like a murder from the scene of a crime
Like a little roach from DDT
Running out like big n******gs, running a football field - RUN ni**er!!
Screwing your woman (RUN ni**erS!!)
Whooping your a** (RUN ni**erS!!)
Stealing your culture (RUN ni**erS!!)
Taking your life (RUN ni**erS!!)
k**ing your children (RUN ni**erS!!)
RUN ni**er!! - RUN like you run, when the liquor store's closing at Saturday night
Run n***a, cause time is running
Run like time never yielding or forgiving
Moving forward, in a direct pattern of percussive movement
Never warning or relinquinshing
Time, is running running running RUNNING RUNNING RUNNING
TIME'S DONE RUN OUT
