Kid Pharaoh, Mick Jenkins - The Times lyrics

Why they tryna spend all my time?
You know I can’t really waste it
I don’t wanna spend a dime on you
Need to buy us some more time
So I can save it but time is money
Tell me what I’m gonna pay with
See continuing in our continuum
Of space time, I waste time on a curriculum
That’s been sent to him
From a dementing thing
Of black hearted rap-stardom that
I seek within
But what’s all that without time?
What’s a burning flame without that shine?
What’s the point if I don’t get mine?
Why’d I burn myself out and
Nearly lose my mind?
Is this evolution or revolution?
The feds are shooting, the reverend’s looting
The best solution’s to let them do it
Let time bare all the retribution

Said I didn’t need the money, drugs, honeys
Buzz all I need’s time and love
Said I didn’t need the money, drugs, honeys
Buzz all I need’s time and love
Rolex with the sex? Nah
Funny, but, all I need’s time and love
Said I didn’t need the money, drugs, honeys
Buzz all I need’s time and love, ay ay

We just need some time to let it burn
You just wanna see the flames
Time is all we need, father please
On my knees
Beg and please that the people find the peace

Time heals all, that’s the truth
Waste no time I be yelling to the youth
Waste no time feelin’ spirit in the booth
It’s when I feel it then I deal
It, never lying through my tooth
Through my teeth
I’m seein’ all the time you mistreat
You know time is of the essence
It’s a blessing on receipt
I said time is money
The currency for the dreams
Lighting the sun while I’m
Funding this brotherly love
We just let it grip and
Leave the dealings to become
We don’t ever question all
These feelings from above
Seconds are ticking
These hours & minutes I’m tryna fulfil it
I’m trying to live it, apply what is given
Supply all the wisdom, it’s just a cold world
I’ve been living born sinning
Seeking redemption, delivering lessons
I’m counting these blessingslcounting
These seconds

When it’s all said and done, eh
Tell me how are you gonna compare
Between the life you lead to the
One you should’ve lived out
It’s something you should think bout
You need to keep both your eyes wide
Keep both your eyes wide
And if you're not careful you’ll
See how quick time flies
See how quick time flies
And kiss your arse bye bye

It’s 5: 46AM, hide up
Pops just walked in on Craig with the burner
Earned a lot of shit talking
That’s adjourner
Lessons coming how the weed burn up
But we grown up now
Make mistakes you gotta own up now
I still consider picking chrome up now
The way these nggas blowing domes up now
With overseas so I’m only
Rolling zones up now
Whip the wrist like it’s Brunswick Zone
In my form, in my zone
I’m a deadeye, comparing me with clones, shit
Gotta be a Jedi, only wanna sip the Fela
Kuti, got your cutie on this water
She made a point to say she’s not a groupie
Still tryna kick it
Had to let her know I’m not her Bruce Lee
So excuse me, if I ever let
The Times flow too loosely, uh

I said time is all we need
I’m out here tryna find the peace
Ain’t no love out on these streets
Just know that time is all we need
It’s a revolution showing evolution
In the streets
Keep the peace, time is all we need
Time is all we need
