Chorus:
Tic, toc, tic goes di clock
Informers dance to di sound of my glock
They all get scared when they heardi ting cock
Rudeboy deh yah and we have di place locked
Tic, toc, tic goes di clock
Blaze up di fire mek di fassy dem drop
Chillin in di club, champagne a pop
Gettin that money and we ain't gonna stop
Verse 1:

She get scared cause she neva had a yardie yet

She neba get it till she sing a Bob Marley yet
I like di way she keep it tight like she celibate

Outro:
Yo! Operator jack it up
Inna di girls dem on di dancefloor back it up
Yo! Tell di selecta fi pull it up
Di place hot but a hot gal full it up
Yo! Operator jack it up
Inna di girls dem on di dancefloor back it up
A weh dem tink, a weh dem feel
A weh dem tink, clean steel
The lyrics of Cham's song Tic Toc paint a picture of a party where the atmosphere is tense due to the presence of informants and snitches. The call for the operator to jack up the sound and for the selecta to pull up the music is an indication that the partygoers are determined to have a good time despite the unease in the air. The chorus uses the ticking of a clock to establish a sense of urgency and danger, implying that the sound of the gun cocking is sending a chilling message to those who might be plotting against the “rudeboys”. The lyrics in Verse 1 highlight the pursuit of pleasure and the sexual tension between the singer and a lady at the party. The reference to Bob Marley in the lyrics is an indicator of the Jamaican heritage that is consistently present in Cham's music. The last verse is a celebration of the good life, with a nod to the big-time spenders and the women who know how to dance. Overall, the lyrics of the song are a snapshot of the dancehall lifestyle, with heavy emphasis on the themes of loyalty, danger, and pleasure.
