Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, that's right
It's time to set the record straight
[Verse 2]
Ain't nobody got to spell it for me
I said, ain't nobody got to yell I can see
I said, ain't nobody got the pain I can hear
But if I have to I will yell in your ear
[Verse 3]
Time for livin'
Time for givin'
Time for livin'
Time for givin'
Time for livin'
Time for givin'
Time for livin'
Time for givin'
[Verse 4]
Check this out
Ain't nobody got to spell it for me
I said, ain't nobody got to yell I can see
I said, ain't nobody got the pain I can hear
But if I have to I will yell in your ear
[Verse 5]
Soul fire
Soul fire
And we ain't got no water
We don't got no water
[Verse 6]
Time for livin'
Time for givin'
No time for makin' up a monster to sell
Time for livin'
Time for givin'
No time for makin' up a monster to sell
