So I've been listening to trainer101's video that contains the full version of What Time Is It? and I've been wondering what the lyrics are. I pretty sure I've misheard a LOT of these lyrics, unless the song is really funky like that. Correct me, and I'll edit my post.


The different text colors are various possibilities as to what the text may be. So it's debatable~ Same goes for the ones with (?). Feel free to contemplate those!

What Time Is It?
By Glenn Rubenstein


It's the G-man (g hyphen m a n)
It's the G-man (g hyphen m a n)
It's the G-man (g hyphen m a n)
It's the G-man (g hyphen m a n)
And once again

It's the G-man (g hyphen m a n)
And it's a must
So listen for the diction and the rhymes that I bust
Cuttin' mad cost
Take it to a WASP ((White Anglo Saxon Protestant))
Brush everyday but I still don't floss

So get back cause this rhyme is explosive
Cuttin' down essence
And reducing all postage,
Efforts with a (?)
Comin' up roses
Rockin' so hard we have to give it out in doses

Just another year, another mutation
Time to pay the fees and rethink my registration
Like a driver's license you know I'm renewable
But I'm 22 years old and downin' flintstone's chewables

It's the G-man (g hyphen m a n)
It's the G-man (g hyphen m a n)
It's the G-man (g hyphen m a n)
It's the G-man (g hyphen m a n)
And once again

What time is it?
About 5 AM
Down to the last minute and we're doin' it again
Once more my friend, through til the end
Thank god for Fed Ex, I pray that we'll fend (?)

Yesterday's gone, or was it last year?
Losin' my head, but I won't shed a tear
I have no fear, nothin' but worry
Days are goin' by, and I'm livin' in a hurry

Kick it up
Kick it off
Kick in on
Kick it soft
Burnin' so much that I'm down in exhaust

Like Don Knox
I got mad props
Scarves and loud shirts for the beats that I've got

It's the G-man (g hyphen m a n)
It's the G-man (g hyphen m a n)
It's the G-man (g hyphen m a n)
It's the G-man (g hyphen m a n)
And once again

What time is it?
What time is it?
What time is it?

I don't have the stress of those who are blessed
I can get a passing grade because I studied for the test
People are callin', knocking on the door
They want six CDs, then I'll burn six more

Pim (?), I'm the shit starter, the originator
Ill shit starter, the originator
My head's more wounded than a drunk Christian Slater (?)

Read it,
It's read,
Then put it to bed
People still trippin' off the thing that I have said
So I dip it in shit, and you'll make lemonade
Too many early mornings, I'm addicted to ????????
????????????????
??????????????????? reality is real


It's the G-man (g hyphen m a n)
It's the G-man (g hyphen m a n)
It's the G-man (g hyphen m a n)
It's the G-man (g hyphen m a n)
And once again

What time is it?
What time is it?
What time is it?

-- Notes --

~> "G-man" is short for Goverment Man. G-men are investigators who collect information.

"The term 'G-Man' was also as used at least as far back as 1916 in Ireland as a reference to the detectives of the Dublin Metropolitan Police force's "G" Division, whose job it was to collect information on the various revolutionaries within the city."


~> G-Man can also stand for the name of the artist for this song, Glenn Rubenstein. Rap artists tend to name-check (use their own names in their raps) as a rap tradition. *Thanks to djmadscribbler*

I also think the G-man might be a reference to himself (Glenn Rubenstein) as it has a rap feel and name checking yourself is a long standing rap tradition.

Good work though Kiyoshi!

Thanks for putting all the work in Kiyoshi!

This is a great reference and I love this song.

Okay, I did some more listening, cuz you did all the hard work. Some of the references that you missed...well, you have to be a whole lot older (iow, ancient like me Laughing ) to pick up on... I can't for the life of me pick up on the part where the helicopter gets loud, and there are still a couple of places I'm unsure of, as well as one other place at the beginning I just can't get... <shaking head>

Just changed one thing I heard differently and added a tidbit of information (not that I know anything about this guy, so I don't know how it would fit).

Yep, I knew what WASP was (that's why I put it into caps Smile ) - just wasn't altogether sure what it meant in that context...

Now, that "PIM"... I'm thinking let's remove that if it's "I'm"? What do y'all think...?

Sure wish we could get the part after "efforts with a" and the part that the helicopter drowns out!!

Thanks for the help and compliments guys~
I think it's starting to become a whole lot coherent now xD


My thoughts on "The Originator"...
I think it probably starts off with "Ill shit starter, the originator."
The more and more I listen to that song, it seems like it fits the most.


And that helicopter gets REALLY loud after that one point.
I wonder if we'll ever figure that one out.
Maybe we need someone with the hearing of a bat.
