Time Is Tickin’ Away (Extended Mix) Lyrics by C-Block

General Population

1997

[Hook: Misty]
Ahh, ahh
Keepin' on, keepin' on
Keep your head on
Ahh, ahh
Time is tickin', time is tickin'
Tickin' away
Time is tickin', time is tickin'
Tickin' away
Ahh
[Verse 1: Red Dogg]
Let's talk about time
Tickin' away every day
So wake on up before it's gone away
Catch the 411 and stay up like the sun
Remind yourself what's done is done
So let yesterday stay with the bygones
Keep your body and soul and your mind on
The right track in fact you gotta stay on the real black
Don't turn around and don't look back
We tryin' to take the positive to another level
Red Dogg diggin' deep, Mr. P got the shovel
I'll level with you, I played in a foul picture
But now I got my mental sewed up like a stitcher
I used to be a "P" try on to clock "G's" living wild, blast
You before you blast me, that's the lifestyle
And I could see it on the evening news
It's just another 'notha shot
Or either stretched doin' time
[Hook: Misty]
Time is tickin' away
You've gotta live your life
Day by day
Happy or sad, good or bad
Life is too short
You've gotta keep your head
Time is tickin' away
You've gotta live your life
Day by day
Happy or sad, good or bad
Life is too short
You've gotta keep your head
[Verse 2: Mr. P]
Keep your head one more time and feel the rhythm
I'm tellin' your life is too short, you know the feelin'
You want to do more your self-esteem is in the way
You better take a kid and live it day by day
But anyway, I'm going for mine I'm still broke it's no joke
They still got me hangin' from the ropes
Take time and still do the right thing
And not the wrong, so listen to the words of the song
Tick-tock, you're seconds away from the judgement day
So get your mind ready take the evils but out way
Bring back, we cut no slack, we kick facts
The positive message on this tracks is exact the way we feel it
In the 1990's chillin' with red in the mix you'll find me, rewind me
And turn back my mind thinkin' about the homies
Is the pen doing time
[Hook: Misty]
Time is tickin' away
You've gotta live your life
Day by day
Happy or sad, good or bad
Life is too short
You've gotta keep your head
Time is tickin' away
You've gotta live your life
Day by day
Happy or sad, good or bad
Life is too short
You've gotta keep your head
[Bridge: Misty + Mr. P]
Ahh, ahh
Keepin' on, keepin' on
Keep your head on
Time is tickin', time is tickin'
Time is tickin' away (day by day)
Once again
CBK on da track
To wake up your mind
Who know what tomorrow night bring
Violence, destruction, who knows?
'Cause time is slipping away
The world keeps spinning
Around and round
We've gotta keep ourselves
From going down
In a world full of passion
Pleasure and pain
The pressure's get into my brain
[Hook: Misty]
Time is tickin' away
You've gotta live your life
Day by day
Happy or sad, good or bad
Life is too short
You've gotta keep your head
Time is tickin' away
You've gotta live your life
Day by day
Happy or sad, good or bad
Life is too short
You've gotta keep your head
