Letra

It's like clockwork
Movin', the hands of time
Four MCs
Four minds combined in rhyme
Like clockwork
It's like clockwork
Movin' the hands of time
Four MCs, four minds
Combined in rhyme
Like clockwork
Movin' the hands of time
Four MCs, four minds
You know
Combined in rhyme
And it goes
Like this
I'll take it straight to that face plate
Snatch and make detachable
What now?
'Cause what I bring's the natural dispatchable
I'm magical, word up
I got it like that
I'm just sayin' what's on my mind when I rhyme
And that's the bottom line
Heavy stress got a **** thinkin' that he must be trippin'
I'll be runnin' rings around the rhymes that they be whippin'
And they know it
But still, they must be frontin'
'Cause I'm sayin' somethin'
That they don't wanna hear so now there's nothin'
But opposition to my every way of life
I'm sayin' I'ma bring it on 'cause I must
Yo, I'm bustin' rhymes 'cause it's fresh
When you deaf with linguistic artistics
I mean, this rap thing is the shit kid
(Word up)
Gettin' paid is a priority, no doubt
So run that route
And quit the runnin' at the fuckin' mouth
Yo, it'll never be the same like it use to be
Too many half steppers and wanna-be's up in the industry
So yo, I drop some signs every demo I make
It's like, how you live in homes
Kinda trite and it ain't that great
I want a mansion and a yacht and all that bullshit
But **** compromise they own integrity to get it
Now maybe that's the price to be paid for the riches
Sell your fuckin' soul to the Devil
Now those sons a bitches (Word)
Are tryin' to tell me that my rhymes is to abbrasive and agressive (What?)
My street warrior attitude ain't impressive
I move onto the scene like a graphic
I flow like traffic
I'm at my peak each and ever hour
When I get a rush
I gotta bust with the Midas touch
Grab a hold of the steel
And grip it with the camel's clutch
Let 'em feel
Hear and bear witness as I reveal the sickness
That's been quaratined and concealed
When I redeem by Red who's one with creation
In time and in space and rhymin' a nation
Forever chasin' (Yeah)
Hip Hop until the final act of death
Takes my last breath
Or decibels of Cerwin-Vega make me go deaf
With nothin' left
But the force that creates life, which is the soul
Takes me to the next life
Where I will still rock your boat
The side is told
For non-believers to grasp and behold
The energy they envy manifested in me
From the dawning of time till the dusk of eternity
Deaf scripts, there will only be
We move like clockwork
Individual gears movin' in sync
Conditioned
And executed with precision
The regular recital of rhymes remains
One of the many mechanisms used to excercise the brain
So stay wise
To the hands of time
Because they don't stop
Hip Hop, you don't stop
At the top of the hour
Checkmate sets it
Red-1 renegade
Revolves with the record
Clockwise
Retrograde rotation
Known to be not wise
Open your eyes before the alarm sounds
Countdown, the year 2000
The path gets dramatic, time to drop Mathematics
I figure
Four MCs in a circular configure-ation
Is an eventual progression
Time is of the essence
It's the essence of this profession
To help make suggestions
Evolve from shadows, the day is now digital
Whatever the means
Time is still critical
So don't clock this work
But take it for what it's worth
It's clockwork
So synchronize your ink and rise
Don't blink your eyes
'Cause we're on the brink of demise
So sit and re-think the lies
Flipout, is what would describe me best
So let me flip out
And take this mess from my chest
Clockwork
Movin' like the hands of time
Four MCs combined
Together in rhyme
It's like clockwork
We stockin' up the rhymes
But the clerk at the counter be the misfit
Spellin' out rhymes from the mind
So check it
If you wanna get jerked by the collar
You're gettin' pulled from behind
The Misfit
If you try to holla at the boys
Checkmate, Red, Flipout
Yes, indeed Misfit
So instead, I think you should step
To the side
And just listen to the brothas that be on the ride
Glidin' back an forth
Like an up rock from a fresh foot
Indeed, I will come at your jaw
And kick you down with the shit that is comin'
Compound
From the element, me and the track
You can't ever turn back, whack
That's not the way, I never stand still
Yes, indeed
As I drill another rhyme, you play potential
Kinetic, the man be electric
Electrifying suckers
That think they can defy the man Misfit
I reach down deep into the abyss
And pull a rhyme to hit you stiff quick
And that's the way it go
The impact of a firm fist
And like I said before
The dreaded brothas from the North West
Givin' you the flow
Like clockwork (Checkmate)
Everyday, it goes spontanious when we bust
And that's the shit
I told you it's like clockwork, you know
Everyday flow
That's how we go
It's like clockwork
Clockwork
Movin' like the hands of time
Four MCs, four minds
Together in rhyme
And we movin' like the hands of time
Four MCs, four minds
Together in rhyme
Clockwork
Movin' like the hands of time
Four MCs, four minds
Together in rhyme
And we movin' like the hands of time
Four MCs, four minds
'Cause we together in crime
You know what I'm sayin'
From Vancouver side of things
(The hands of time)
The hands of time is like clockwork
This is what we bringin' up to the table
