3
No!!!

[Aceyalone]
5
If you knew what makes me tick
6
It'll probably make you sick
7
Lay my days of my life in front of you
8
and I'll let you take your pick
9
Come on
10
Pull back the curtain but make sure that you are certain
11
That it will be worth the energy that you end up exerting
12
Now walk past the doorway step in the foyer
13
Don't you bother knocking
14
I'm a grandfather clockin' everything you do
15
I'm seeing through you faultiness
16
So sprinkle me but not with saltiness
17
The ghetto taught me this
18
I fought for this, I fight for this, I spend my life for this
19
And if you put your brain to work it ain't hard to decipher this
20
Counting down the days boy closer to your doom
21
Time keeper for the Reaper, the family heirloom
22
Like staring at my grandfather clock inside my room
23
It'll never miss a tick-tock, it strikes everyday a noon
24
Every hour on the hour, it'll sing a tune
25
Every half hour ot'll croon and yell out at the moon
26
You can't escape the master time, no one is immune
27
The hands of time will grab you when the moments opportune
28
No one is immune
29
When the moments opportune
30
Carved from a tree trunk bark
31
What a wonderful work of art
32
Well I usually wear my sundial
33
but it don't work when it's dark
34
(don't work when it's dark)
35
No electric parts spark as mechanical as he is
36
He'll kindly say just wind me and then show me where the key is
37
Then I go about my day and I flow about the way
38
He never has nothing to say, he just sits there on display
39
I seen one in the cafe, one inside the cabaret
40
Timekeeper for the Reaper, what a pretty price to pay
41
Chorus
42
So don't you bother knockin' at, I'm a Grandfather clokin'
43
Everything you do, I'm seeing through your masquerade
44
At midnight you will hear the serenade and don't you be afraid
45
It's like clock work orange lemonade with the bottomless glass
46
When it's time for that ass!!
47
Tick-tock
48
My Grandfather clock goes
49
Tick-tock 3X
50
The pendulum is swinging and it just don't ever stop
51
Tick-tock
52
My Grandfather clock goes
53
Tick-tock 2X
54
My Grandfather clock
55
I used to have this coo-coo clock
56
that would bother my Grandfather clock
57
Never gave it no rest so I flew over the top of the nest
58
And then at my request I ask him to resign
59
He was never on time, one hour behind
60
At ten, he stuck at nine
61
But he did not fuck with mine cause I murdered that machine
62
If you ever beat the clock you know exactly what I mean
63
(exactly what I mean)
64
I hold my Grandfather clock in high esteem
65
My alarm clock screams cause he knows how long it takes me
66
But my Grandfather clock leans over and he shakes me
67
And they both race against time to see who will be
68
the first to wake me
69
But when I became awoke my alarm clock was broke
70
And my Grandfather clock was staring right down my throat
71
And he leaned a little bit closer and he told and I quote:
72
"If you ever race against me, you will surely come up short,"
73
He said, "I'm better than your Timex, your Rolex or your Swatch
74
Your Fossil, Casio, Quartz, your diamond studded watch,"
75
He said, "I control how long you stay alive
76
I'ma tap you on you shoulder at eleven fifty-five"
77
When the time arrives and then and only then
78
you'll have your five minutes of funk
79
I said my final salutations as I stepped amongst the monks
80
Then he took me exactly where I stodd like he should
81
And I tried to reason with him and I tried knocking on wood
82
But he said
83
Chorus
