Time, time is a ship on a virtueless sea Drifting toward an abyss of nothingness Until it can be recharted for its own destiny Time is an inanimate object paying and paying and paying for no justification for belief Time is dancing, boogalooing away all memories of past experience Dancing away all thoughts of personal and collective manifestations Dancing, dancing, dancing Until you become a slave of rhythm and you no longer seek freedom Dance dance dance dance till there's no more time to dance Time is being caught up in a web of fetal self Until you become inhuman, something to be controlled Time is nothing to n******gs and negroes Time is nothing to y'all Time is gettin' high… Go on to a foreman thinking that the next time you can do it again Time is running, time is running, time is running out on black power advocates in the day and white thighed supporters at night
Every time you see them they're chained to some white woman with their tongue hangin' out Time is running and pa**ing, pa**ing and running, running and pa**ing, pa**ing and running Like Hollywood n******gs who ain't got nothing better to do with their time than keep their heads glued between the thighs of some Hollowwood b**h who has gonorrhea of the mouth and syphilis dripping from their mind Time is running Time is running Time is running Time is running Time is comin' to Time is comin' to a Time is coming to an Ain't no more Give me five more minutes, baby baby Please give me five more minutes I just need five more minutes n******gs and negroes y'all and all better get right And this time while the time is good 'Cause there might not be no next time...
