Clockwork Lyrics


We getting' ready, to start the setIt's clockwork, got work, put it in like doctors with awkwardness
Mopped your whole flock up, and walked toward ya
Scattered all up on the chalkboard, Socrates self is thoughtless
From farmers to metropolis, I get these process all twistedForm mental visual optics, my job description rock wiz
Clock ticks, I'm toxic giving oxygen to the thoughtless
Intoxicant knocking the planet off it's axis, like oxes chappin'
Boxing compin up out though, peepin' it loose
Seeped in to you, begin' in to the outro
MC is what I be about though
The freshest widow without thoughI can outflow, any little doubt
Your little mouth throw out so, take it out though
So I'm a gardener, I'm a chef eatin' all you carnivores
I'm an ancient Zen master philosophic thought
Comin' like the art of war, handyman with lyrical hardware
And my house ain't made a ginger
But its made of an array of pages that'll slay ya like a Ninja
Unemployed, noI got work, and my job description
A rap technician

From sun up to sun down
And it's clockworkCan you understand?
Every beat be made with sucker DJ's plus scissors and tape
Can you understand?
Lyrics that I write will put you in sound out of sightCan you understand?
Master of scratching yes is he the one slippin'
Or is he the real captain?
Can you understand?
The way we rock keep runnin' for a record around the blockGrabbin' the mic and unravelin' with, the force of a javelin hit
Travelin' gift of gab and I'm it, MC's are havin' a fit
A man and a myth with a hat of magical tricks stored in my cabina net
Jamming and rippin' the average listener cramming in it like a sandwich
A bit at a time
This critical rhyming individual will shine your pitiful kind
It's little so little that I will be little your mind
Nigero tearin' yo ego and spiritual flows, divine imperialSigned and delivered, so take time rewind and give it all
Your undivided attention, divide is in division
Subtraction in addition, see I'm like a mathematician
Egyptologist wisdom
Hip hop holy man submerging you all in my baptism
Security guard of the rap prison, slap rhythms into newborns
And birth rap ism into blunts from sacks hittin'
Get 'em off and make fat dividends, now that's livin'See I got work, and my job description
A rap technician
From sun up to sun down
And it's clockworkCan you understand?
Every beat be made with sucker DJ's plus scissors and tape
Can you understand?
Lyrics that I write will put you in sound out of sightCan you understand?
Master of scratching yes is he the one slippin'
Or is he the real captain?
Can you understand?
The way we rock keep runnin' for a record around the blockOne two, one, two
This is my mic, my rhyme, my beat and my crowdDo I have to give up my signature? To get ya to figure it out
I'm walking the path that Allah had planted
Or jah, whoever you give your shout to
If your doubts rip you out your physical watch your spiritual drift up out
Floatin' up on your way to infinity, kiss the clouds
Just about, when you get to the point where the alien ships are outTell 'em I sent you to help ya and give ya directions
Wherever you're going so that you don't miss the route
See, I send you traveling far, unadulterated cleverness
And you'll never catch a flaw, I'm a hip hop astrologist
And my raps a shooting star, I'm a bartender all into your mental
Sittin' at the bar ventures force injureMore injure pretenders the inventor of plenty other dullage
Your loving buzzin' at your door like
Jehovah Witnesses is in the fall
If I was your landlord you wouldn't need to pay the rent at all
Just give me applause whenever I floss that'll be the only costSee my occupation
A rap technician
From sun up to sun down
And it's clockwork and it don't stopCan you understand?
Every beat be made with sucker DJ's plus scissors and tape
Can you understand?
Lyrics that I write will put you in sound out of sightCan you understand?
Master of scratching yes is he the one slippin'
Or is he the real captain?
Can you understand?
The way we rock keep runnin' for a record around the block

Gift Of Gab (Tim Parker) and Chief Xcel (Xavier Mosley) met at John F. Kennedy High School in 1987 in Sacramento, California and formed the group in the early 1990s. They released their first recording, "Swan Lake", on solesides records. The Solesides Crew consisted of the duo, as well as other friends of theirs they had met at University of California - Davis, including DJ Shadow, Lyrics Born and Lateef The Truth Speaker. The single was an underground hit, but label trouble prevented the duo from immediately capitalizing on their fame.

In late 1997, Solesides became quannum projects and in 1999 Blackalicious released the A2G EP, which served as a precursor to their debut full length album, Nia, which was released the following year. This was followed by a major label contract with MCA Records and the release of the critically acclaimed album Blazing Arrow in 2002.

In May 2004 Gift of Gab released his first solo album, 4th Dimensional Rocketships Going Up, but he assured fans that Blackalicious was alive and well.

A third full length, entitled The Craft, was released on Epitaph Records imprint ANTI- on September 27, 2005.
