Time’s Up

[Intro: Sampa]

Tick, Tock

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

[Verse 1: Sampa, Krown]

Yah

It’s the return black excellence

Don’t sit next to us

Lay it down like scripture

Jah bless God invest in us

Blackface industry

Lying don’t invest in me

Only want the money off our backs

Like history

In the industry I’m not a slave on a record

I rose brave, call it blessings

Acute angle out the rat race

I keep from going under

Time ticking for families holding the spears

Deception is equity used to buy your melody, all I hear

[Chorus]

I seen the industry

Kill dreams of a dreamer

Kill dreams of a dreamer

Kill dreams of a dreamer

Kill dreams of a dreamer

I seen the industry scheme

And it’s a killer

I seen the industry

Kill dreams of a dreamer

Kill dreams of a dreamer

I seen the industry scheme

And it’s a killer

It’s a master plan to break you

I’m the scheme

They the schemer

[Verse 2: Sampa, Krown]

Yuh

Time’s up

Black republic

Want all my work republished

How many times

I inspired your rhymes

Then you redubbed it

We the inspiration

We the motivation

Take our ideas and then you resell it

In variations

The hour glass I’ma crack it

The fatter the cream, the blacker the talent

I’m taking matters in hands

I’d rather challenge

The industry

Got no dignity

Putting my fam up

Next to me

Searching for their diversity

Nervous

You know that I can see

All is I see is a bunch of mechanical breakdown

Do it till the planet break down

On a mission to free ourselves

Verbally medicated put on the shelf

We not for sale neither asking for help

And I ain’t asking for help

We not asking for help

We not for sale

Not asking for help!

Not out to get you

Or in rage

We just searching for self

Go fuck yourself

Fuck the game

Fuck the playing

Fuck the aud-ience

Fuck the dance

Fuck the list

Fuck the ARIA’s

[Chorus]

Cos I’ve seen the industry

Kill dreams of a dreamer

Kill dreams of a dreamer

Kill dreams of a dreamer

And I’ve seen the industry scheme

And it’s a killer

And I’ve seen the industry

Kill the dreams of a dreamer

Kill the dreams of a dreamer

And I’ve seen the industry scheme

And it’s a killer

It’s a master plan to break you

I’m the scheme

And they the schemer

[Refrain]

Tick, Tock

Tick, Tock

Tick, Tock

Tick, Tock

Tick, Tock

Tick, Tock

Tick, Tock

Tick, Tock

Tick

[Outro]

Time’s up, motherfucker

Time’s up, motherfucker

Time’s up, motherfucker

Time’s up, motherfucker
