3 Minutes (Skylab demo, 1999) Songtext
von 2 Skinnee J's

Here we go
Ground zero bowdown to the countdown
Bringing ruckus around the compass
From the depth of outer space
To the center of the earth
We′re getting down for what it's worth
We′re getting down for now

We got 3 minutes and we're out of here
The clock is tickin' and we′re in the clear
We got 3 minutes and we′re out of here
We got 3 minutes and we're out, we′re out
We got 3 minutes and we're out of here
The clock is tickin′ and we're in the clear
We got 3 minutes and we′re out of here
We got 3 minutes and we're out


Is this thing on? (Yeah!)
Are you hearin' this?
We′ll turn it up so you can get the whole wide world feeling this
A penny for my thoughts, a million for my album
Mine my mind for rhymes then sell them
Apocalypse now and then, but in the mean time between
I′m touring down the coast playing host
To a gang of folks in a gang of cities in a gang of states
We blow minds like Tet vets with metal plates
And the dream is to step up to be leanest
With less then 20 feet and a microphone between us

Well what I mean is, we drop a hammer like ball peenas
Believe us, we rock blocks with perseverance
We be the adamant, aberrant insurgent antecedents
Precedent to your view like Greeks to Europeans

We got 3 minutes and we're out of here
The clock is tickin′ and we're in the clear
We got 3 minutes and we′re out of here
We got 3 minutes and we're out, we′re out
We got 3 minutes and we're out of here
The clock is tickin' and we′re in the clear
We got 3 minutes and we′re out of here
We got 3 minutes and we're out


Turn up your amplifier, I am a loud speaker
Wandering like Jews, itinerant like preacher
Move from town to town to convert the non-believers
Speaking to the kids in the stands and in the bleachers
My destiny′s got the best of me
Still searching for the spot where the pot of heaven's pennies be
So we parody a pair of achievers
Parroting imaginary daydream make-believers

We got 3 minutes and we′re out of here
The clock is tickin' and we′re in the clear
We got 3 minutes and we're out of here
We got 3 minutes and we're out, we′re out
We got 3 minutes and we′re out of here
The clock is tickin' and we′re in the clear
We got 3 minutes and we're out of here
We got 3 minutes and we′re out

I return with the yes yes ya'll to bring it back to the future
3 out of 15 minutes oughta suit ya
I rip out the pit spot full-prepped to flip hip hop to rock and roll
I bomb like Enola
Spread like ebola
Its an epidemic
Beats will leave you battered so you better call a medic
I said it before so you know we get frenetic
Rhymes abundant from the microphone pundits

We′ve got a short time to agitate
We gotta light the fuse before it gets too late
Time is of the essence so you should hold it dear
Give us our 3 minutes and we're outta here

We got 3 minutes and we're out of here
The clock is tickin′ and we′re in the clear
We got 3 minutes and we're out of here
We got 3 minutes and we′re out, we're out
We got 3 minutes and we′re out of here
The clock is tickin' and we′re in the clear
We got 3 minutes and we're out of here
We got 3 minutes and we're out
