Lyrics Time - Mary J. Blige

Time

Quasar, and MJB’s crazy, Loco
It’s 2−0-0−0
Even they don’t know
It don’t show
Women they wanna grind in my path
Find a fo' do'
It’s only a ninety three
Still they be (Where?)
Behind the meat (Yo)
I needed two points to swing (Then I)
Shot a three, got nigga’s hot at me (Word)
But they can’t do nada, B (Uh uh)
I’m more economy than the brand new odessey
Hey yo, Carter got it beat, these times and probably
Won’t be around for nigga’s to finish playing Monopoly
Yo, it’s the dolla’s B, that got me writin' apologies
The bill collectors, plead the fifth or cop a plea
When they follow me, I’m duckin' like somebody shot at me
(Q.S.R.)
If I had my way (I'd hit the highway)
Life would be just fine (Party on Friday)
But the world’s too much (It's too much, too much)
And it makes me cry (Feel like I had enough)
Sometimes I feel like leaving (I'm on my way)
But I must be wise (Think twice)
Because time (Come on, sing it wit' me now)
Is not on our side
(Don't you know that time’s not on our side)
Because time is not on our side
The end is coming, stop your running
I’m telling you this is the truth
You can talk about what you read about
Everything is on the news
People nowadays so shady
Now what is wrong with them
Something cast a spell up on their minds
And they always wanna condemn
(Q.S.R.)
If I had my way (Uh huh)
Life would be just fine (Life would be fine)
But the world’s too much (Too much, too much)
And it makes me cry
Sometimes I feel like leaving (It's gotta be gone)
But I must be wise (Mary Jane cries)
Because time (Come on, sing it wit' me now)
Is not on our side
Because time is not on our side
While you’re judging me, you should look around
And you’ll see how people goin' down
Some of them are killed over a dime
Now tell me do we really have time
To continue with this madness
Cuz I’m sick and tired of it
Trying to crush my world with jealousy
And I’m about to catch a fit
(Q.S.R.)
If I had my way (I'd hit the highway)
Life would be just fine (Party on Friday)
But the world’s too much (It's too much, too much)
And it makes me cry (Feel like I had enough)
Sometimes I feel like leaving (I'm on my way)
But I must be wise (Yo, think twice)
Because time (Sing it wit' me now)
Is not on our side (Uh huh, yup yup)
Because time (Yo, time is running out)
Is not on our side
You’re deceiving (You can tell lies)
What’s the meaning (Then they can falsefy)
If you’re retrieving (You're ready for the don)
The enemy’s greeting (You know it, ya’all can die)
You all are leaving (Whut) someday but (Whut)
They don’t know how (Whut) we are going (Uh uh)
Please believe me (Whut) when I tell you (Whut)
That time is (Whut) not really on our side
Yo, yo, aight
We gon' talk about life for a minute
How many nigga’s out here do dirt but won’t admit it, huh?
How many nigga’s know shorty young, but still hit it
Same nigga’s that’ll snatch your chains off and run wit' it
Yellin' Mary J, more cash than Mary K
It rains every day, rock jewels the heavy way
Shorty’s wanna talk to the guard, but anyways
All the stress that I got in my life, that make me say
If I had my way
Life would be just fine
But the world’s too much
And it makes me cry
Sometimes I feel like leaving
But I must be wise
Because time
Is not on our side
Because time is not on our side
Repeat above while:
How can you hurt the children
They mean so much to us
They’ll soon be leaders
And they will lead us to the rightous path
But you must understand
