Lyrics Tinseltown to the Boogiedown (Radio Edit) - Scritti Politti



(Keep slipping
Time keep slipping)
Yo, the only thing Majors don't waste is time in bed
My timing is rare, take time, time to prepare
No time for fear, how many times I said it this year?
What time ya going to realise the time is near
Call a time out Scritti Politti Majors climb down
The cracks in the streets waste no time on beats
Most def, mos definitely, the rap sheet
The new release, time to make cream, time to take a piece,
And at the same time, time to build, time is rilla
I swear I bring the heat, the tracks to Val Kilmer.
You know that time waits for no man, in time you'll see
That you're wasting all your time while you watchin' TV
And yo Scritti, I'm on it like walls to graffiti,
From night sticks to punches to NYPD
From new smell of B.B. King you see me fine (what)
You stay away from time man just wasting your time
Ya Timetables keep turning - like tinseltown
You've got the both ends burning - to the boogie down
(Time-time keeps slipping)
They play for time
And work for spaces
Timetables keep turning - and clocks are wound
You've got the both ends burning - and worked around
And in their prime
They change their faces
Yeah, from boogiedown to tinseltown, I had 'em all gettin' down
My baggage claim's got exotic names, I get around
How I'm living now well that's a whole lot different now
From where I'm sittin' at I got a whole different vision now.
I play the tables hard, wild cards I was flipping down
My partner's sitting pat somewhere off in prison now
I'm flipping out they switch chains so suddenly
The way you act today is the cause where you wanna be
Your company shift when you start livin' comfortably
The spotlight switch and then you get right from under me
Don't front with me, I want to be perfectly clear
Time is here I'm keeping yesterday in the rear
A current affair most definitely Majors appear
But the rock is sitting pretty with the Scritti you hear
And it's a block that time sitting you could there, would you?
Sit back and look cuz time???? you
Timetables keep turning - like tinseltown
You've got the both ends burning - to the boogie down
(Time-time keeps slipping)
They play for time
And work for spaces
Timetables keep turning - and clocks are wound
You've got the both ends burning - and worked around
And in their prime
They change their faces
Yeah
Now one time I thought I had it all
Mass of broads, flash awards, cash cards,
Time's a double-edged sword,
One day you hear applause next day when you leave
You catch an L in the C like Christopher Reeves
But y'all believe that this pass through dirt in my name
Give 'em time because you ain't if I?? 'em point game
At time I used to swerve now I'm learning my lane
Trapped in time what a shame with no one to blame.
You waste of no one cuz that's slow one, because you're no fun
Standing like a shogun,??? drinking no rum
Hey Yoda, you better how do it like you closer
'Cuz time keep slipping, make no difference if you don't come
It's me you want record and how he's???? advisory
Get our game and do our thing and spend these moments wisely
It's time to make chase get pace, no time to waste
First you on then you gone, so long, you've been replaced
Timetables keep turning - like county high
You've got the both ends burning - to the do or die
(Time-time keeps slipping)
They set their hearts
And fix their courses
The timetables keep turning - and dreams of dreams
You've got the both ends burning up - of how it seems
They steel themselves
They are resources
Timetables keep turning - like tinseltown
You've got the both ends burning up - to the boogie down
(Time-time keeps slipping)
They play for time
And work for spaces
Timetables keep turning - and clocks are wound
You've got the both ends burning - and worked around
And in their prime
They change their faces
Timetables keep turning
You've got the both ends burning up
And all the lies you been learning
You keep the future??
Timetables keep turning
You've got the both ends burning up
And all your lies you been learning
You keep the future??
