Time Is Running Out

lyrics

Chorus
Time is running out, all my people suit yourself, but I’m a stand up,
they strip our freedom and they lock us down in handcuffs.
Then paint a picture like nobody understands us,
but they’re the hypocrites when it comes to providing answers.
The way that they got all their money was they killed people,
trained us to fear the unknown, called our gods evil.
So now we stand on the brink, our climate getting lethal,
message in a bottle, send it off, and hope it reach you.

Courage
Look, I was raised to give praise for the old ways,
principles Lakota, but I’m Choctaw, someone feel me.
Pops out the hood, so most these rappers looking awfully silly,
make a million dollars, don’t give back to their communities.
This nigga talking about the game aint gone change me,
signed the dotted line and then reverted back to slavery.
Tend to reflect upon the gifts creator gave me,
and celebrate my freedom in a world that’s going crazy.
I come from Ashland, build with family and smoke dimes,
contemplate the future, reminisce on old times.
Then hit the forest for the symphony of alpines,
sit under a tree and then proceed to write some dope rhymes.
Live on a planet where the leaders carry big guns,
sell cocaine to children just to supplement their income.
I seek out knowledge to enhance my inner wisdom,
while Earth is suffering from chronic respiratory symptoms.

Travis T
I’m inspired by it all from the bright lights to dim bars,
sit and reflect, trying to Renoir my memoirs.
And when I start, I don’t stop until the pen’s parched,
giving those living in prison the strength to bend bars.
No time for liars and fakes, I don’t fuck with them,
the world is mine, stay on my grind like bruxism.
Enough’s enough, but you can never have too much wisdom,
hustlers for justice to buck this corrupt system.
We making moves and move the world at the same time,
blood, sweat, and tears, in the music you can taste mine.
Baseline by P Smoov, what we use to break spines,
wake minds and free you to see through the great lies.
History’s shown the best way to make change is,
uprise the masses, show them bastards we’re dangerous.
So let’s go ape shit, get angry, and break shit,
they’re fucking with our freedom, we can’t just let them take it.
