[Verse 1: Tech N9ne]
~#**************#~
Pain (Pain) (What is it?)
~#**************#~
Originally penalty physically or mentally sensations
~#**************#~
You feel when you hurtin distressed
~#**************#~
A bit of anguish can bring you closer to your death
~#**************#~
‘Cause of the lack of success now
~#**************#~
Time, aint on my side
~#**************#~
‘Cause Im tryin to find my piece of mind and rhyme
~#**************#~
But the catch is you got to have the paper to shine
~#**************#~
If we dont Im sorry, we might have to do capers do crime
~#**************#~
‘Cause my mom is sick doc Im grid-locked
~#**************#~
Epilepsy and Lupus, Alfred Hitchcock
~#**************#~
Couldnt write the suspense and shit on this block
~#**************#~
Fist-cocked when Im walking my lips locked
~#**************#~
IRS and the child division they wanna
~#**************#~
Shut a nigga down to the ground, gotta make this shit pop
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Liz Suwandi & Krizz Kaliko]
~#**************#~
Times a-running out (Running out)
~#**************#~
Time keeps on tickin, tickin (We got to keep it movin)
~#**************#~
Times a-running out (Running out)
~#**************#~
Time keeps on slippin, slippin (We got to keep it movin)
~#**************#~
Times a-running out (Running out)
~#**************#~
Time keeps on tickin, tickin (We got to keep it movin)
~#**************#~
Times a-running out (Running out)
~#**************#~
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin (We got to keep it movin)
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]
~#**************#~
Runnin like a cheetah for the cheddar
~#**************#~
Whatever we gotta do to make it better cause Im (Running out)
~#**************#~
Mama gotta get a better livin
~#**************#~
I got the power to bust (We got to do it movin)
~#**************#~
Tryin to get a milli and really I been silly
~#**************#~
The pill in me killin me the devil (Comin out)
~#**************#~
Lookin for love and the demon never lookin for love
~#**************#~
Im in lust (I guess Im truly ruined)
~#**************#~
No matter what I ever do, N9na always gotta deliver
~#**************#~
Never comin out on top as the winner
~#**************#~
Might have to take it back to November
~#**************#~
71 when I was the heavenly son
~#**************#~
Now we run with killers who carry the guns
~#**************#~
Marry the bum now I gotta marry the one
~#**************#~
But the one sick of carryin the chrome, done
~#**************#~
The root of the problems is the root of all evil
~#**************#~
The ones that hiss are the enemy
~#**************#~
And the ones that root are my people
~#**************#~
After all this time, after all this rhyme
~#**************#~
Still comin to see me the fans
~#**************#~
Takin in all this all this N9ne
~#**************#~
And thats positive cause everything
~#**************#~
Is negative I need a sedative
~#**************#~
You get her preg-a-nent, they levy shit
~#**************#~
Takin more money than youll ever get
~#**************#~
Im ready as ready get
~#**************#~
For the capital out for your stack
~#**************#~
Ill attack for your fetti, bitch
~#**************#~
But thats petty shit
~#**************#~
And if I grind I wonder how much time they gon make me sit
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Liz Suwandi & Krizz Kaliko]
~#**************#~
Times a-running out (Running out)
~#**************#~
Time keeps on tickin, tickin (We got to keep it movin)
~#**************#~
Times a-running out (Running out)
~#**************#~
Time keeps on slippin, slippin (We got to keep it movin)
~#**************#~
Times a-running out (Running out)
~#**************#~
Time keeps on tickin, tickin (We got to keep it movin)
~#**************#~
Times a-running out (Running out)
~#**************#~
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin (We got to keep it movin)
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Tech N9ne]
~#**************#~
Its like its a trap – Rap
~#**************#~
When you spend your scratch
~#**************#~
And you get with a partner on the coast
~#**************#~
And somehow you never get it back
~#**************#~
And you cant go get him with a gat
~#**************#~
‘Cause if you do that
~#**************#~
The state will separate you from your brats
~#**************#~
Chillin with the killers and rats
~#**************#~
Im in a race for time
~#**************#~
They wanna replace my mind
~#**************#~
Skinheads, cops, gangbangers
~#**************#~
And its all in the devils design
~#**************#~
Just to get me, gotta get the money quickly
~#**************#~
Before my mother is a wonderful history
~#**************#~
If I cant make it before that
~#**************#~
I will never ever forgive me
~#**************#~
Racin for happiness for that sunshine euphoria
~#**************#~
But its melancholy
~#**************#~
And its dim-foggy and dark like Fangoria
~#**************#~
But Im tryin to pick up the pieces
~#**************#~
That are broken beast is my species
~#**************#~
So I hope my mothers alive and me too when this album releases
~#**************#~
But the time is tickin and my kids
~#**************#~
Are growin up I aint blowin up
~#**************#~
I guess the bass in my music aint hittin low enough
~#**************#~
Fuck that shit nigga cause my tone is tough
~#**************#~
Shit that Im doing is rough
~#**************#~
Meetings with Atlantic, Jive and TVT cant come soon enough
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Liz Suwandi & Krizz Kaliko]
~#**************#~
Times a-running out (Running out)
~#**************#~
Time keeps on tickin, tickin (We got to keep it movin)
~#**************#~
Times a-running out (Running out)
~#**************#~
Time keeps on slippin, slippin (We got to keep it movin)
~#**************#~
Times a-running out (Running out)
~#**************#~
Running out (We got to keep it movin)
~#**************#~
Times a-running out (Running out)
~#**************#~
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin (We got to keep it movin)
~#**************#~
[Outro: Krizz Kaliko]
~#**************#~
We do too much, will we make it?
~#**************#~
We make money and they take it
~#**************#~
Time (Time, time, time) (Running out)
~#**************#~
For me and you what is we gonna do?
