Tinseltown To The Boogiedown (Radio Edit) Lyrics
Time time keeps slipping
Time time keeps slipping
Time time keeps slipping
Yo the only thing Major don't waste is time in bed
My time is rare take time time to prepare
Oh time for fear how many times I said it this year
At what time ya going to realize that time is near
You know that time waits for no man in time you'll see
That you're wasting all you time while you're watching TV
And you Scritti I'm on it like walls to graffiti
From night sticks to plungers to NYPD
From Lucille BB King you've seen me rhyme
You stay away from drama if it's wasting your time
The time tables keep turning from Tinseltown
You've got the both ends burning up to the Boogiedown
(Time time keeps slipping)
They play for time and work for spaces
The time tables keep turning and clocks are wound
You've got the both ends burning up and worked around
(Time time keeps slipping)
And in their prime they change their faces
Yeah from Boogiedown to the Tinseltown
I had em' all getting down
My baggage claim's got exotic names I get around
How I'm living now well that's a whole lot different now
From where I'm sitting now got a whole clearer vision now
I played the tables hard wild cards I was flipping now
My partners hitting pounds somewhere up in prison now
I'm flipping high things switch and change so suddenly
The way you act today is tomorrow's where you wanna be
You company shifts when you start living comfortably
Spotlights switch and then you dip right from under me
Don't front for me I want to be perfectly clear
Time is here I'm keeping yesterday in the rear
A current affair Mos' Def and Lee Majors appear
Bout to write this little ditty with the Scritti you hear
And it's about that time so if you could be then would you
Sit back and look at who time's being good to
The time tables keep turning from Tinseltown
You've got the both ends burning up to the Boogiedown
(Time time keeps slipping)
They play for time and work for spaces
The time tables keep turning and clocks are wound
You've got the both ends burning up and worked around
(Time time keeps slipping)
And in their prime they change their faces
At one time I thought I had it all mass of broads
Flash awards cash cards time's a double-edged sword
One day you hear applause next day when you leave
You catch a L in the C like Christopher Reeves
Do you all believe that these cats threw dirt on my name
Give them time they couldn't win if I gave them point game
At times I used to swerve now I'm learning my lane
Trapped in time what a shame with nobody to blame
I waits for no one and fat and slow ones the rich no funs
The Samurai's and Shoguns the first stringer no runs
Ayyo gun you'd better hope to it or you blow son
This time keeps slipping make no difference if you don't come
It's being well recorded how we advise we
Get on our game and spend these moments wisely
It's time to make chase give pace no time to waste
First you on then you gone so long you been replaced
The time tables keep turning from Tinseltown
You've got the both ends burning up to the Boogiedown
(Time time keeps slipping)
They play for time and work for spaces
The time tables keep turning and clocks are wound
You've got the both ends burning up and worked around
(Time time keeps slipping)
And in their prime they change their faces
The time tables keep turning from Cali High
You've got the both ends burning up to the do or die
(Time time keeps slipping)
They set their hearts and fix their courses
The time tables keep turning and dreams of dreams
You've got the both ends burning up of how it seems
(Time time keeps slipping)
They steel themselves they are resources
The time tables keep turning from Tinseltown
You've got the both ends burning up to the Boogiedown
And all the lies you've been learning
To keep the future on hold
The time tables keep turning
You've got the both ends burning up
