Race Against Time Lyrics - Public Enemy

Everybody over here, get on up 

Everybody right there, get into it 

Everybody over there, get involved 

Everybody just, get involved 

Microphone check, microphone check 

Can I get a check up from the neck up? 

Can I kick a rhyme while I'm checkin' my time? 

Can I get a cure 'cause you did da crime? 

For sure, you're probably killin' me 

With these shots, tell me what I got 

An' I'm gone, pandemic, who did it? 

Right, WHO did it, that's who did it 

WHO, World Health Organized 

Murderized, came to the aid, got paid 

Doctor, doctor in a lab concocted a germ warfare 

To the booty, I rocked it 

105 million goin' down in da ground 

Most in da black an' da brown 

How did I catch this riddle? 

If I didn't crossover like a Hardaway dribble 

They blamed it on some green African monkey 

Now ain't that funky? 

While da clock is doin' da tickin' an' tock 

I didn't know dat da guns aimed an' cocked 

On us, on us, on us, on us 

On us, on us, on us 

We're runnin' outta 

Time, time, time, time 

Time, time, time, time 

Time, time, time, time 

Time, time, time, time 

Testin' 1, 2, testin' 1, 2 

Can I get a blood check? Testin' 1, 2 

Can I get a witness? Yes, you can 

Can I get a witness? Yes, you can 

Then check it 

I'm checkin' records an' facts about da battle 

To da Indian, Japanese, the whites an' the blacks 

Germs, they spread it, warfare, I read it 

Quote me on this, yes, again an' I said it 

A bigger damage than the trigger an' glocks 

A mass murder in mass from a blanket full o' smallpox 

No guarantees, gettin' lesser fees 

Tuskegee had us go out with disease 

Please check da time, c'mon, check da rhyme 

Tribe o' mine, killed by da swine 

Who crossed da line? Who did da crime? 

The mind of a world, destroyin' kind 

We're runnin' outta 

Time, time, time, time 

Time, time, time, time 

Time, time, time, time 

Time, time, time, time 

Time, time 

A lil' piece of my mind while we runnin' outta time 

People of color goin' out like no other kind 

Mad drama, genetic gettin' wreck 

Protect ya' neck, check the epidemic 

Drug use, addiction an' murder, I heard a pregnancy 

Infant mortality, rest in poverty not peace 

Disease 'til deceased, sterilized, realized 

That beast, so here's a word to the wise 

They got us runnin' outta 

Time, time, time, time 

Time, time, time, time 

Time, time, time, time 

Time, time, time, time 

Time, time, time, time 

Time, time, time, time 

Time, time, time, time 

Time, time, time, time 

Time, time, time, time 

Time, time, time, time 

Time, time, time, time 

Time, time, time, time 

Boy, you need to check that alarm clock 

And wake up, my brother
