[Chorus: Leaders of the New School]
If you only knew The Inner (What time is it, what time is it?)
Mind's Eye is the centre (What time is it, what time is it?)
Yes I only know the time (What time is it, what time is it?)
Yes I only know the time (What time is it, what time is it?)
If you only knew The Inner (What time is it, what time is it?)
Mind's Eye is the centre (What time is it, what time is it?)

[Verse 1: Dinco D]
The blood, sweat and years of the 9th
Put behind in the front 12th grades
Of confrontation
Books block the real, clocks times off revolutions
Thought instead of relation

[Verse 2: Charlie Brown]
It's like, close captioned the Hearing Impaired
And if you see what I say then you're halfway there
A hostile most wild stomp I'll rise
Timber in the land of my man snake eyes
Shallow as a shadow in the shade of the night
Yet I shine for '92, some old and some new light
Pressurised earth under the heat from the Sun
Cooked some well done, some got none
Those were the ones who got mad at the Sun
It's been like that since time begun
So! (What are we gonna do about it...)
Remix mad kick, my game ain't changed
Know the rules, I know the ledge and then arrange
As I blitz for the the ritz it's a sack
Third down, punt the ball... (Brown!)
Hey!
That's right, a little bit of loot place to hear
Base zone phone for troops unaware, be aware
Hooked on phonics
Blissed Boogie Brown with the B-Boy Bionics
The visual post card (Hard!), squad (Squad!)
Hip hop, and then ya don't stop, yo!
Line after line after line after line
Blame it on society y'all, 'cause it's about time...
[Verse 3: Busta Rhymes]
As I lose my mind and
Lost in the thoughts
Getting caught up in the glitter as a quitter
Suckers didn't clean behind the shitter
Though you shouldn't litter
Time to set a new trap for the critter

[Verse 4: Dinco D]
In the blood, sweat and years of the 9th
Put behind in the front 12th grades
Of confrontation
Books block the real, clocks times off revolutions
Thought instead of relation
So blacks are wise, cracks jokes of cop yokes
I know if times too fine for the mind strokes
Mechanical sheep dogs aboard a diabetical trip
Too much sugar sugar you should fit
Hand and hand why a short and the long
You got lock to your koo-koo clock running 'round (Worn!)
I suggest we invest in time
Sharing the The Inner Mind's Eye means I'm caring
For your intellect as far as original self indentible
Not run through a digital
Computer, commuter watch out clocks
A knock out, time can tell your job (He's out!)
And that's all she wrote, yo!
It's a quarter to cutthroat, here comes time
Yellin' "run black vote" for another nice coat
To run the slave boats of times and minds combine
I'm feelin' fine (I got too much on my mind)
Time! (Time! Time! Time!...)
Hahahahahahaha...
[Chorus: Leaders of the New School]
If you only knew The Inner
Mind's Eye is the centre (What time is it? Time will tell)
Yes I only know the time (What time is it? Time will tell)
Yes I only know the time (What time is it? Time will tell)
If you only knew The Inner (What time is it? Time will tell)
Mind's Eye is the centre (What time is it? Time will tell)
Yes I only know the time (What time is it? Time will tell)
Yes I only know the time (What time is it? Time will tell)

[Verse 5: Cut Monitor Milo]
See what I see through the eye of the Third
What's the word? (The Inner Mind's Eye!)
Completely centre, input data
As a matter of fact, I wish...

[Verse 6: Busta Rhymes]
As I begin to lose my mind and
Lost in the thoughts
Getting caught up in the glitter as a quitter
Suckers didn't clean behind the shitter
Though you shouldn't litter
Time to set a new trap for the critter
In 1993, if worst came to worst
I'm gonna burst timer for the rhymer is first
For the biter who bit a bad taste of the bitter
How long will I receive bad food from the sitter?
(Time will tell!) Whether or not if you're gonna live swell
Baby, you could-a ring my bell
Word to the blister as you catch a fat fist-a
Realise that time is in the mind
I say "oh man, look in the palm of my hand
How long did it take to make my first grand?"
According to the way that you think
Wanna chase pretty women in pink
Spending on the Mrs., only getting kisses
Got, all the time in the world, oh really, sound silly
That kind of frame of mind is not funny
Can't run from the penalty (Time be tellin' me:)
"Face that endless dispute with reality"
Control your destiny, mentally, physically
Doin' right for self (First!), that is the strategy
Utilise emotions of the mind
I am not in front of the time or behind the time
That's right, I move within the time (Uh!)
Goddamn, can you feel it?
Got a bunch of everready's charging up my inner spirit
Raar, raar, here comes Busta Rhyme
In time you will know
[Bridge: Charlie Brown]
It's like, close captioned, Hearing Impaired
If you see what I say then you're halfway there-

[Verse 7: Cut Monitor Milo]
See what I see from the eye of the Third
What's the word? (The Inner Mind's Eye!)
Completely centre, input data
As a matter of fact, I wish I knew my
Due date from my card was punched
(Nobody knows, nobody knows what the nose knows)
I'm a leaf on the vine of time
Tick-a-tee-tock, time
No retake for mistakes and I'll be fine
Don't be blind by the sign of the fourth connect
Just respect intellect and you'll be ineffect
Imposing, last closing, with the big up
(Big up, big up, big up! Big up, big up!)

[Outro: Leaders of the New School]
What time is it, what time is it?
What time is it, what time is it?
What time is it, what time is it?
