Excuse me, does anyone have the time?
No!!!
[aceyalone]
If you knew what makes me tick
It'll probably make you sick
Lay my days of my life in front of you
And i'll let you take your pick
Come on
Pull back the curtain but make sure that you are certain
That it will be worth the energy
that you end up exerting
Now walk past the doorway step in the foyer
Don't you bother
knocking
I'm a grandfather clockin' everything you do
I'm seeing through you
faultiness
So sprinkle me but not with saltiness
The ghetto taught me this
I
fought for this, i fight for this, i spend my life for this
And if you put your brain to work
it ain't hard to decipher this
Counting down the days boy closer to your doom
Time
keeper for the reaper, the family heirloom
Like staring at my grandfather clock inside my
room
It'll never miss a tick-tock, it strikes everyday a noon
Every hour on the hour,
it'll sing a tune
Every half hour ot'll croon and yell out at the moon
You can't
escape the master time, no one is immune
The hands of time will grab you when the moments
opportune
No one is immune
When the moments opportune
Carved
from a tree trunk bark
What a wonderful work of art
Well i usually wear my sundial
/>
But it don't work when it's dark
(don't work when it's dark)
No electric parts
spark as mechanical as he is
He'll kindly say just wind me and then show me where the key
is
Then i go about my day and i flow about the way
He never has nothing to say, he
just sits there on display
I seen one in the cafe, one inside the cabaret
Timekeeper
for the reaper, what a pretty price to pay
Chorus
So don't you bother
knockin' at, i'm a grandfather clokin'
Everything you do, i'm seeing through your
masquerade
At midnight you will hear the serenade and don't you be afraid
It's like
clock work orange lemonade with the bottomless glass
When it's time for that ass!!
Tick-tock
My grandfather clock goes
Tick-tock 3x
The pendulum is swinging and
it just don't ever stop
Tick-tock
My grandfather clock goes
Tick-tock 2x
My grandfather clock
I used to have this coo-coo clock
That would bother my
grandfather clock
Never gave it no rest so i flew over the top of the nest
And then at
my request i ask him to resign
He was never on time, one hour behind
At ten, he stuck
at nine
But he did not fuck with mine cause i murdered that machine
If you ever beat
the clock you know exactly what i mean
(exactly what i mean)
I hold my grandfather
clock in high esteem
My alarm clock screams cause he knows how long it takes me
But my
grandfather clock leans over and he shakes me
And they both race against time to see who will
be
The first to wake me
But when i became awoke my alarm clock was broke
And my
grandfather clock was staring right down my throat
And he leaned a little bit closer and he
told and i quote:
"if you ever race against me, you will surely come up short,"
/>
He said, "i'm better than your timex, your rolex or your swatch
Your fossil, casio,
quartz, your diamond studded watch,"
He said, "i control how long you stay alive
/>
I'ma tap you on you shoulder at eleven fifty-five"
When the time arrives and then
and only then
You'll have your five minutes of funk
I said my final salutations as i
stepped amongst the monks
Then he took me exactly where i stodd like he should
And i
tried to reason with him and i tried knocking on wood
But he said
