Timezone LaFontaine - Deadline

Sweat beads, dried teardrops
Ride the cliff side, see the sheer drop
But I can't stop with the edge case
Break the padlock in the headspace
Can you catch up, land hard packed
I'ma step up, y'all are far back
If you kept up, then you must know
Ain't no let up, and you must grow
And you just go to the next town
Pick em up yo till they get down
Gonna sweat now, till the day end
You wanna get out, I'ma stay in
Til it fade in to the next track
You a player, but the deck's stacked
It's a cold fact, Rodriguez
Working man, know what fatigue is
How the league is in the showtime
When the chips are down and it's go time
Got the soul shine with the sun glint
One of a kind, like a thumbprint
To the summit from the low land
Bow down to who? No man
With the sound craft, no doubt that
Tick, tick, time, time is running out fast
I got it pressurized, ride the red line
Run it up on the edge of the deadline
Now you know about it, read the headline
Can't beat the clock, deadline
Dirt level, sow the seed and
Show the blade light, up out the sheath and
Get your brain right, deep breathing
LaFontaine type, start the bleeding
With the sun glow and the blood flow
For the unknowns, only one show
Only one shot, in the sunspot
Unlearn the wrong thought, teach the untaught
Writing it, refining, try to tighten it
Ain't fighting it, enlightenment proves elusive
Hot pursuit of what the truth is, moves in you, love
So you move up, raise the roof up
Play the blues, what stays in you
What dues you pay, who's to say?
Choose to sway to the groove array
Breaks and blends, making ends
Sword in hand, sorting fakes and friends
Carving space out, cart the case out
Hard to fade out, got the bass out
Lay the track down, make it crack ground
Future-past sound, ain't no backdown
Sonic impact, no doubt that
Tick, tick, time, time is running out fast
I got it pressurized, ride the red line
Run it up on the edge of the deadline
Now you know about it, read the headline
Can't beat the clock, deadline
Only place I half step, the bass neck
For the blue note in your tape deck
Catch a head rush, bout to pass out
If your heart ain't in it, get your ass out
This is lifelong with the fight song
No radio to play it on, staying strong
Keep the light lit with a tight grip
Fuck y'all with cold hearts and tight lips
You ain't giving love
You ain't living up to the dream
See the spilling blood
Can't ever get enough, till the final day
I let the vinyl play, have the final say
While the time away till it's all gone
And the last grain of sand is called on
Stay alive, yo, and revive hope
With the light smoke up on the tight rope
This way, focus on one step
Midday, long way from sunset
Long way to go, crack the window
Balance out the heat, let the wind blow
In too deep, too hot for more sleep
Make the gas pedal and the floorboard meet
Put the hammer down, be about that
Tick, tick, time, time is running out fast
I got it pressurized, ride the red line
Run it up on the edge of the deadline
Now you know about it, read the headline
Can't beat the clock, deadline
