Wake up, face the future
Cause I feel I have to salute you
On the things thats goin on, in this world today
You can run, but you cant hide
You have to find your sense of pride
To let you know, that this world, will never decay
Its later than its ever been, times up (times up)
Its later than its ever been, times up (times up)
Its later than its ever been, times up, in this world, today
Brothers and sisters, grab a hold
Theres a story solid as gold
We must try to stay alive
We must strive, and never slip away
Where theres sunshine, there is rain
Where there is joy there will be pain
We must move, m? --? move
We must move, and never decay
Its later than its ever been, times up (times up)
Its later than its ever been, times up (times up)
Its later than its ever been, times up, in this world, today
Yo yo my brother my brother
Let me lay it on the downstroke
I want you to know that I will provoke
Anything that life will bring
Because within these words I have a antidote
The time is comin for the song that Im hummin
To let you know its later than its ever been
Your time is up, you sad faced clown
Now heres da breakdown (da breakdown, da breakdown, da breakdown)
[sung vocals]
It is later, than its ever been
The life you livin, try not to sin
It is later, it is later, it is later, than its ever been
Keep on movin, and grab a hold
The life you livin, must have control
We can do it, we can do it, we can do it, if we try
It is later, than its ever been
The life you livin, try not to sin
It is later, it is later, it is later, than its ever been
Keep on movin, and grab a hold
The life you livin, must have control
We can do it, we can do it, we can do it, if we try
[spoken style]
Its later than its ever been, times up (times up)
Its later than its ever been, times up (times up)
Its later than its ever been, times up, in this world, today
