Yasiin Bey - Tinseltown to the Boogie Down (Ali Shaheed Muhammad Remix) lyrics

Time keeps slippin' [Verse One] [Lee Majors] Yeah, the only thing Major don't waste is time in bed My timin' is rare Take time Time to prepare No time for fear How many times I said it this year? At what time y'all gonna realize that time is near? Call a time out Scritti Politti Major climbed out The cracks of the streets Waste no time on beats Mos Def Most definitely The rap chief The new release, time to make cream Time to take a piece And at the same time Time to rebuild Time is realer I swear I bring the Heat to tracks like Val Kilmer You know that time waits for no man, in time you'll see That you wastin' all you time while you watching TV Aye yo it's 3D I'm on it like walls to graffiti From night sticks, to plungers, to NYPD From Lucille to BB King, you've seen me rhyme You stay away from drama if it's wasting your time [Hook] [Lee Majors] The time tables keep turning (From Tinseltown) You've got the both ends burning up, they burnin' up And all the lies you been learnin' (To the Boogiedown) Won't holdin, won't hold Time, time keeps slipping Time tables keep turnin' (From Cali fly) You've got the both ends burning up, they burnin' up And all the lies you been learnin' (To the Do Or Die) Keep your future on hold, on hold Time keeps slippin' [Verse Two] [Mos Def] From Boogiedown to Tinseltown I had em' all gettin' down My baggage claim's got exotic names, I get around How I'm livin' 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 down My partners sittin' pounds, somewhere up in prison now I'm flippin' high Things switch and change so suddenly You're where you're at today When tomorrow is where you wanna be You company Shift when you start livin' comfortably Spotlights switch and then you dip right from under me Don't front for me I want to be perfectly clear The time is here, I'm keepin' yesterday in the rear A current affair Mos Def and Lee Majors appear 'Bout to rock this little ditty with the Scritti in here And it's about that time, so if you could be then would you Sit back and look at who time's been good to [Hook] [Lee Majors] The time tables keep turning (From Tinseltown) You've got the both ends burning up, they burnin' up And all the lies you been learnin' (To the Boogiedown) Won't holdin, won't hold Time, time keeps slipping Time tables keep turnin' (From Cali fly) You've got the both ends burning up, they burnin' up And all the lies you been learnin' (To the Do Or Die) Keep your future on hold, on hold Time keeps slippin' [Verse Three] [Lee Majors] At one time I thought I had it all Ma** 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 and it seems like Christopher Reeves Do y'all believe that these cats threw dirt on my name? Give 'em time, they couldn't win if I gave 'em point game At times I used to swerve, now I'm learning my lane Trapped in time, what a shame, with nobody to blame [Mos Def] It waits for no one The fast and slow ones The rich and no funds The Samurais and Shoguns The first stringer and no run Ayo dunn You better hop to it or you blow son Cause time keeps slipping Make no difference if you don't come It's bein' well recorded how we sport it I advise we Get on our game and do our thang 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 [Hook] [Lee Majors] The time tables keep turning (From Tinseltown) You've got the both ends burning up, they burnin' up And all the lies you been learnin' (To the Boogiedown) Won't holdin, won't hold Time, time keeps slipping Time tables keep turnin' (From Cali fly) You've got the both ends burning up, they burnin' up And all the lies you been learnin' (To the Do Or Die) Keep your future on hold, on hold Time keeps slippin'
