[it's, it's too short, it's too short]

[i have lots of time]

[they say time waits for no man]

[all the time]

[waisted time, waisted time]

[wait a minute]

[this'll just take a little time]

[time out!]



Time is tickin' away, time is tickin'

[tick tock!]

Time is tickin' away, time is tickin'

Tick, tick, tick, tock, tickin'



Here we go again

Straight up rock-n-roll

All that hip hop... ???... is... ???

Don't forget



Let's go

Here we go, everybody

Let's go

Here we go, everybody

Let's go

Here we go, everybody

Let's go, check it out



You got a gift and you best start using it

Cause if you don't you're gonna wind up losing it

Just like the brother who buried it deep

The task was simple but the price was steep

We got a mission while we're on this earth

We need to tell people 'bout our second birth

Get busy like a school boy makin' an "a"

Cause time my brother is tickin' away



(chorus)

Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away

Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away

Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away

Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away



Right now is the time that we gotta get with it

The gift that he's given ain't just an exhibit

But a tool that he's given us to use for his sake

And just as he's given he can surely take

The signs of the times are dropping like flies

The cries of the people around us imply

They're lookin' for an answer that we already know

But time is definitely on the go



All the money in the world

Can never stop the hands of time

And a wasted day in your life

Is more than a crime



(repeat chorus)



Time is tickin' away, time is tickin'

Time is tickin' away, time is tickin'

You got a gift and you best start using it

Cause if you don't you're gonna wind up losing it

Get busy like a school boy makin' an "a"

Cause time my brother is tickin' away



(repeat chorus)



Time is tickin', it keeps on tickin'

Time is tickin' away (6x)



Whoa, wait a minute...
