(times up)
(times up)
(times up)		--> rakim

(times up)
(times up)
(I wanna rock right now)	--> rob base
(times up)

(times up)
(I wanna rock right now)
(times up)

(times up)
(I wanna rock right now)

[ verse 1 ]
Times up, black is back
Other rappers make records and I make an impact
I dont want you to move, I want a movement
As I proceed, I move with
Knowledge, wisdom, understanding
I make progress, while Im slamming
Hard lyrics, puttin money in the bank
But these futile new styles stake out the joint with hank
A to b to d
Cause you cant hit what your eyes cant c
Near-sighted, shallow, hollow, mundane
Rappers untrained, just cant sustain
The heat that hits, you think its a homerun
But hold that thought, brother, dont run
Cause you hear the pop, it drops, and guess what?
Times up

(times up)
(I wanna rock right now)
(times up)

[ verse 2 ]
The clock ticks, the rhyme kicks
Im kickin off knowledge as I drop this
Brothers aint takin their time with the rhyme
They wanna get paid, cause its hard times
I got patience, meditation
Helps creation, and correlation
Is takin its toll in platinum and gold
I get respect with the records I sold
Cause the rhyme is always up to par and on point
I wrote a message in the music while Im rockin this joint
Its jumpin, slammin, pumpin
And meanwhile Im sayin somethin
For all ears to hear and prepare
To persevere from here to there, so get geared
So weak rappersll have to self-destruct
Times up

(times up)
(I wanna rock right now)
(times up)

[ verse 3 ]
Im harder than times and 29
Hard enough to cut diamonds, rhymin im
Sharp as a razor, cuts like a laser
And my rhyme can graze ya, Im able to raise ya
>from a dead level, I aint a rebel
I just dont dance with the devil
Unless were dancing in the rain
And then my dance is an ali dance
Cuts as sharp as a blow, showboat what I wrote
And sugar-coat the globe and collect sweet g notes
Go for the throat and watch the wicked choke
>from the words I spoke because the rhymin smoke
Provoked thoughts of hope, no dope to cope
Cocaine and propane, no pain and no gain
The white demon is powdered and cut
Taste the real rock - times up

[ verse 4 ]
High performance is layin dormant
Your mentality is out of the ordi-
Nary structure, you aint a sucker
Go get paid like a renegade buster
Lyrical format I put down
And when it rips, better skip town
Metaphysical spiritual conscience
Manifested in lyrical contents
An ancient rhetoric, moe dee better kick
Soulful social science, and let it get
My class needs to thinkin straight
Cause with speeds of light they cant relate
We live and learn, but what are we learnin?
The dollars teach and weak souls are burnin
So when I strike, its like lightning struck
Times up

(times up)
(I wanna rock right now)
(times up)
