Mick Jenkins - The Times lyrics

[Verse 1 - Kid Pharaoh] 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 [Hook - I AM D] Said I didn't need the money, d**, honeys, buzz All I need's time and love Said I didn't need the money, d**, honeys, buzz All I need's time and love Rolex with the s**? Nah Funny, but, all I need's time and love Said I didn't need the money, d**, honeys, buzz All I need's time and love, ay ay [Post-Hook - Kid Pharaoh] 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 [Verse 2 - Kid Pharaoh] 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 [Bridge - Hau] 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 [Verse 2 - Mick Jenkins] It's 5:46AM, hide up Pops just walked in on Craig with the burner Earned a lot of sh** 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 n***as 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, sh** Gotta be a Jedi, only wanna sip the [?] [?], 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 [Outro - Kid Pharaoh] 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 [Hook - I AM D] x2
