Erykah Badu - Time's A Wastin Lyrics
Yeah
Time's a wastin
Don't you take your time young man
Keep on driftin and
Run baby, run, run
Where you runnin to?
And who you runnin from?
Some people may not understand
What it means to be a man
Takin' full command
Cause we're
Livin in a world that's oh so strange
Takin out the demons in your range, hey
Livin in a world that's oh so fast
Gotta make your money last
Learn from the past, oh
Time's a wastin
Don't you take your time young man
Keep on driftin and
Ain't no tellin where you'll land
Sweet love and sunshine
If it's all in the air
Then it's all on your mind
Breathe baby
Come back to the world
Dig up all your pearls
Teach the boys and girls, hey
Livin in a world that's oh so strange
Boy don't let your focus change
Takin out the demons in your range, hey
Livin in a world that's oh so fast
Gotta make your money last
Learn from the past, oh
Oh baby we need to smile
Oh baby we need to smile
Oh baby we need to smile
Oh baby we need to smile
Time's a wastin
Don't you take your time young man
Keep on driftin and
Ain't no tellin where you'll land
Oh baby we need to smile
Oh baby we need to smile
Oh baby we need to smile
Oh baby we need to smile
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Time's a wastin
Don't you take your time young man
Keep on driftin and
Ain't no tellin where you'll land
Ain't no tellin, oh, oh...

Queen of R&B mantras. Rhythmic messages flowing in your head that you randomly sing and helps you through life, right on time.

Song Is my life
I always feel like Badu is Ms Hill, if Hill actually keep putting out music. But we don't appreicate what we have, we all dream about that magical Fugees part 2 album that's never gonna come out .
4:25 the melody tells a story, the uncertainty of the strings (violins), thus the subtle ease in her nourishing voice...Speaks volumes! We must walk with caution, however we will be alright, there is a higher greater order in charge. ;)
God....

I remember being a kid my mom playing this and it being a rainy day and falling in love with her voice.

Where you running to? Who you running from?😢
Use to play this for my son all the time, he's 26 now and it's one of his fav songs
I think this is one of her most slept on songs, men need to listen to this especially our brothers.This song and "We Need you" by Jill Scott.
Same here sister...my son loves this song as an adult now. Wow...
0.75 is awesome
Been listening to Mama’s Gun a lot lately. Been going through some things and don’t have money for a good therapist, so this will have to do. It’s been getting me through, for real.
TheLovliestTear I feel this. Agree with everyone else here - you’re not alone. While therapy is life-changing, too, there’s so much healing in these songs of the heart.
Sending love and light your way 💜
TheLovliestTear are you okay?
Sistah, we got you!
And Will #YougoodNow?
RIP Mac Miller. sampled this on gem on a song called friends on his faces mixtape

I would not be surprised if Tyler, The Creator had been musically inspired by Ms. Badu.

''Don't you take your time young man"
her and D'Angelo really had something special with their grooves. the organs, the percussion, idk but i love it and miss it

Hearing this song I can tell Amy Winehouse was really influenced by badu.

She written for many I'm sure...the influence is innumerable
