[Intro: man speaking]
In seconds, letters we write
In minutes, a line or two
An hour perhaps a paragraph
In a day, with a page, we`re thru
Then comes the weeks and then the months
As time goes marching on
[Verse 1: Kaoz]
Stop!
This is the rule & main concern in plain English
For these are those who are supposed and intent
To listen and sign and go, with the set tempo
(scratching)
but no!
You talking like a big man but, you`re just a small fry
But why you`d wanna throw me off with the wild lie?
But now I`ve had it up to here with the bullshit
I`m throwing you a shovel… now YOU shovel it!
The questionnaire of a person I see seems to be all about
When`s the album coming out?
I never know what to do, or what say
So I say Like any given year or Like any other day
When I go make a song, man go get it tested
People always ask me How come that`s not a record?
Or Can I get a copy, I gotta tape right here
And I laugh to myself because I made this early last year
(Scratching)
When it`s time to roll…
[Kaoz]
I`m tired of slow rollin`
[Verse 2: Chino XL]
Now once again
You`ve fallen to a dimension that`s horrifying
Rappers be glorifying
Cus Origin is never trying
To R&B they ears off
On stage soft
Crossover, Water, Assaulter, I slaughter, pop with hardcore
People ask for autographs, sometimes I laugh
At times my album`s four years late
Well lets accelerate/ `XL`arate!
People in this industry ain`t nothing but scavengers
Sweating that Marky Mark shit, dissin` my manager
You can`t beat beef, Fold me, Control me
It`ll take more that rubbin` a log on Apollo stage to hold me
Mayors don`t give a damn cus they on that salaries
That explains the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide personalities
People say Chino, why should we put you on a pedestal?
Cus I was writing rhymes why you was collecting stuffed animals
In a matter of months you bluff, I caught flowing
Chino XL mad ass hell, I`m tired of slow rollin`
(Scratching)
When its time to roll
[Chino XL]: (repeat 4x)
Tired of slow rollin`
(Scratching)
Take it man! (Repeat 4x)
Take the thing man!
[Verse 3: Kaoz]
As many people as I know, that are up there
They try to be a big will, but they really scared
That someone like myself voices their opinion
To be truthful and do it as an option
And I say option because I decide to take it now
I get where I want someway, somehow
And if I take it to the streets now it goes underground
When I go major, I get the major runaround
The power of God!
(yelling)
He watches over me
Makes me what we are, of the Origin
See, the 6-23, the ending of a game
Kaoz is the name that I use, fuse
To abuse and bring an abrupt end
To those that are stuck in the mud
I`m tired of slow rollin`
(Scratching) (repeat 2x)
When it`s time to roll
(Girl sample)
Cus they envy us, they try imitate us
[Verse 4: Chino XL]
I`m pushing the pedal to the ground while you rewind
Mine, your album`s a joke but I still don`t get the punch line
