(Verse 1 - Jehst)

I stay lazy laid back catching UV Rays

I feel like I need to blaze to make it through these days of stagnation

My crew see ways to reach peace

The creation of beats, deep bass and free speech

From the cheap seats, I watch the rain sweep streets

I wake from deep sleep and embrace the sun

Run the rat race to make first place or none

Set the pace with drum breaks and scrape the funds together

To see me through, to do whatever I need to do

I believe in you and your cause

So take the tape off pause

Let it play and record

Check the DJ then spend the day indoors

I'm absorbed in scores, trying to iron out the flaws in the beat

More draw to keep my cypher complete

Kids playing in the street, out the window hear the rhythm

I'm hidden, my loops are the fruit that’s forbidden

I drop words, envision the night-sky by day

By night I envision the daylight to stay

A single step ahead at this pivotal stage

J-Star upgraded for the digital age

As the sands fall, I stand tall below the fire ball

The sky illuminated by the light that inspired all

Evolution

I'm trying to reach a resolution

Pursue revolution and review my contribution

(Chorus)

My body clock tick tock by day

My body clock tick tock by night

My body clock got me up to play

My body clock got me up to fight

My body clock tick tock by day

My body clock tick tock by night

My body clock tick tock ok

My body clock tick tock alright

(Verse 2 - Nmonic)

The night is my time to rise and shine

Cause when there’s moonlight in my eyes I'm at my prime

My instincts are fine as I adapt to the dark and I start to find myself

Within this nocturnal

Embarking on journeys I then chart in my journal

See I'm saving them for later use

Cause every day has a dream and another excuse

To break loose and run away

Escape to the neon fires where shadows play

Pray they can stay young forever

They paid their fare to never, Neverland

And together they fly

Behind the responsibilities and then sever the tie that binds them to the sun

I watch Icarus fall and see it has begun

It's the beginning of the end

See I'm back to day one and I have nothing my friend

Not a penny to my name

So I guess I'll just have to jump the next the train again

So I guess I'll just have to jump the next the train

(Chorus)

My body clock tick tock by day

My body clock tick tock by night

My body clock got me up to play

My body clock got me up to fight

My body clock tick tock by day

My body clock tick tock by night

My body clock tick tock ok

My body clock tick tock alright
