Ground zero, bow down to the countdown
Bringin the ruckus to points around the compass
From the depths of outer space to the center of the Earth
We're getting down for what it's worth, we're getting down for now

Chorus:
We got 3 minutes and we're outta here
The clock is ticking and we're in the clear
We got 3 minutes and we're outta here
We got, 3 minutes and we're out, we're out
We got 3 minutes and we're outta here
The clock is ticking and we're in the clear
We got 3 minutes and we're outta here
We got, 3 minutes and we're out

Is this thing on? (Yeah) Are you hearing it?
Well, turn it up, so we can get the whole wide world feeling it
A penny for my thoughts, a million for my album
Mine my mind for rhymes and then sell them
Apocalypse now and then, but in the meantime 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 and be the leanest
With less than 20 feet and a microphone between us
Well what I mean is, we drop the hammer like ball peenas
Believe us, we rock blocks with perseverance
The adamant, aberrant, insurgent antecedent
Precedent to your view like Greeks to Europeans
[Chorus]

Turn up your amplifier, I am a loud speaker
Wandering like Jews, itinerant like preacher
Move from town to town to convert the nonbelievers
Speaking to the kids in the stands and in the bleachers
My destiny's got the best of me
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

I return with the yes, yes, y'all to bring it back to the future
3 out of 15 minutes oughta suit ya
I rip out the pit stop, full-prepped to flip
Hip-hop to rock and roll, I bomb like Enola
Spread like Ebola, it's an epidemic
Beats'll 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 got 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
Cause...
[Chorus]
