Time Out
K.a.a.n Lyrics

Times Running Out (Running Out) Time Keeps On Tickin (We Got To Keep It Movin)
The time is limited, and it's passing quickly, so we need to keep moving forward.

Times Running Out (Running Out) Time Keeps On Slippin (We Got To Keep It Movin)
The limited time is slipping away, so we must keep pushing to achieve our goals.

Pain. (What Is It) Originally Penalty Physically Or Mentally Sensations you Feel When You Hirtin Distressed, A Bit Of Anguish Can Bring You Closer To Your Death, 'cause Of The Lack Of Success Now, Time, ain't On My Side 'cause I'm Tryin To Find My Piece Of Mind And Rhyme, But The Catch Is You Got To Have The Paper To Shine, If We don't I'm Sorry We Might Have To Do Capers Do Crime, 'cause My Mom Is Sic Doc, I'm Gridlocked, Epilepsy And Lupus Alfred Hitchcock, Coulndt Write The Suspense And Shit On This Block, Fist-Cocked When I'm Walking My Lips Locked, Irs And The Child Division They Wanna Shut A Nigga Down To The Ground Gotta Make This Shit Pop
Pain can come from distress and mental or physical penalties resulting from lack of success. Time is running out, and the pressure to find inner peace and creativity is high. There is a catch that you need money to succeed in the music industry, and without it, one may have to resort to committing crimes. The singer faces struggles with his mother's poor health and his own conditions that impact his work. The IRS and child division add to the pressure to succeed.

Neva Like I Cheated For The Chedder Whatever We Gotta Do To Make It Better 'cause I'm (Running Out) Mama Gotta Get A Better Livin I Got The Power To Bust (We Got To Do It Movin) Tryin To Get A Milli And I Really Been Silly The Pill In Me Killin Me So The Devils (Comin Out) Lookin For Love An The Demon Neva Lookin For Love'm (I Guess I'm Trully Ruined) No Matter What I Ever Do,Nina Always Gotta Deliver,Never Comin Out On Top As The Winner,Might Have To Take It Back To November,71 When I Was The Heavenly Son,Now We Run With Killas Who Carry The Guns,Marry The Bum Now I Gotta Marry The One,Sick Of Carrying The (I Have No Clue)
The artist did not cheat to get the money they have earned and want to make things better. His mother deserves a better livelihood, and he has the power to provide. He is trying to achieve financial success but struggles with addiction. The devil and negative thoughts consume him, and he feels ruined. He has been unsuccessful in his attempts, and no matter what he does, Nina (fate) always interferes, and he never comes out on top. He reminisces on a time when he was innocent and uncorrupted compared to now, where he is associated with dangerous individuals. He is tired of carrying baggage and wants to escape.

The Root Of The Problem,Is The Root Of All Evil,The Ones That Hiss At The Enemy,And The Ones That Ruined My People,After All This Time,After All This Rhyme,Still,Comin To See Me The Fans Takin In All This N9ne,And that's Positive 'cause Everything Is Negative I Need A Sedative you Get Her Preg-A-Nent They Levy Shit Takin More Money Than you'll Ever Get,I'm Ready As Ready Get,For The Capital Out For Your Stack Ill Attack For Your Fetti Bitch But that's Petty Shit,And If I Grind I Wonder How Much Time They Gon Make Me Sit
The root cause of the problem is the love for money, which is responsible for the downfall and corruption of the people. Despite all the negative influences, the artist feels optimistic as he appreciates his fans' support. He recognizes the negative aspects of the music industry, including labels that take advantage of rising artists. He is eager to receive his earned capital, and he questions how long he will have to wait before it's possible.

Its Like Its A Trap,Rap,When you Spend your Scratch,And you Get With A Partner On The Coast And Somehow you Never Get It Back,And You can't Go Get Him With A Gat,'cause If you Do That The State Will Separate You From Your Brats,Chillin With The Killas And Rats,I'm In A Race For Time,They Wanna Replace My Mind,Skinheads,Cops,Gangbangers,And Its All In The Devils Design,Just To Get Me,Gotta Get The Money Quickly,Before My Mother Is A Wonderful History,If I Can't Make It Before That I Will Neva Eva Forgive Me,Racin For Happiness For That Sunshine Euphoria,But Its Melancholy And Its Dim-Foggy And Dark Like Van-Goria but I'm Tryin To Pick Up The Pieces That Are Broken Beast Is My Species,So I Hope My Mothers Alive And Me Too When This Album Releases,But The Time Is Tickin And My Kids Are Growin Up I ain't Blowin Up, I Guess The Bass In My Music ain't Hittin Low Enough,Fuck That Shit Nigga 'cause My Tone Is Tough,Shit That I'm Doins Rough,Meetings With Atlantic Jive And Tvt can't Come Soon Enough
The music industry can be a trap as money comes and goes, and business partners can take advantage of each other. The singer feels he is running out of time as negative influences try to replace his creativity. The devil seems to be orchestrating it all via dangerous people like skinheads, cops, and gangbangers. He needs to earn money quickly before his mother dies, and he would never forgive himself for failing. He hopes that his mother and he are alive when his album releases. Time is running out as his children are growing up, and he's not successful yet. He does not believe the bass in his music is hitting hard enough, but he will continue to be true to himself. He has had a rough past and is hopeful for future prospects.

We Do Too Much Will We Make It?
The singer questions whether they are doing too much to succeed in the music industry.

We Make Money And They Take It
Despite earning profits, the artist is discontent about money being taken away by external parties.

Time Time Time Time (Runnin Out) For Me An You What Is We Gonna Do?
Time is limited, and the artist asks what they can do to overcome the difficulties they face.
