Killing Time
(Hed) P.E. & (Hed) Planet Earth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, I'm on fire
Baby, I'm bout to creep up inside ya
Getting high all day, drinking whiskey all night
Flipping of the police when them tricks pass by
I'm that fool next door, always late with his rent
I'm that loser on the couch, watching Springer and getting head
Dreaming about a better time, better place, better life
Just killing time
Kiss that world goodbye
Its all over now
Nothing is over now
God knows I tried
But no one understands me
The black sheep of the family
My enemies - they try to over take me
Burning and looting till Babylon break me
Look me in the eyes baby, ride with me
I can take it there, ride with me
I know what you want, where you live, what you need
I can make it real, hold it down for you, feel you bleed
Just killing time
Kiss that world goodbye
Its all over now
Nothing is over now
I keep my eyes on the stars
That's where I come from
Belt of Orion
Son of the Sun God
You know my name, I'm The Conqueror
The Lion
King, Ka Maya Maya& come
Twenty Twelve, come twelve tribes, come twelve strands, come twelve lives
Twelve steps, twelve months, twelve drug dealers
All make bail, kicked cause of the crowded jails
Sex and violence sells
Twelve serial killers, twelve dead without a trail or a trace&
It's prime time, the fight night, pay per view, suicide, the bee sting
Butterfly

The repeated refrain, "Just killing time, Kiss that world goodbye, Its all over now, Nothing is over now," suggests a sense of fatalism. The closing lines of the song, "It's prime time, the fight night, pay per view, suicide, the bee sting, Butterfly," suggest a sense of bitterness and despair.
Overall, (Hed) P. E.'s Killing Time paints a bleak picture of someone struggling with addiction and the consequences of their actions.

Baby, I am a survivor
I have been through a lot, but I'm still standing
Baby, I'm on fire
I'm passionate and driven
Baby, I'm bout to creep up inside ya
I'm going to get close to you, intimately
Getting high all day, drinking whiskey all night
I spend my days getting high and nights drinking whiskey
Flipping of the police when them tricks pass by
I disrespect the police when they drive by
I'm that fool next door, always late with his rent
I'm the neighbor who is never on time with his rent
I'm that loser on the couch, watching Springer and getting head
I'm the guy on the couch watching TV and receiving oral sex
Dreaming about a better time, better place, better life
I wish for a better life and better circumstances
Looking for that quick fix, and tweeking all night
I search for an instant solution and stay up all night tweaking
Just killing time
I'm wasting my time with no real purpose
Kiss that world goodbye
I'm leaving this world behind
Its all over now
It's done, there's no turning back
Nothing is over now
There's nothing left for me here
God knows I tried
I did my best, but it wasn't enough
But no one understands me
I feel like no one really gets me or what I'm going through
The black sheep of the family
I'm the odd one out in my family
My enemies - they try to over take me
Those who are against me are trying to overthrow me
Burning and looting till Babylon break me
I will continue to cause chaos until I myself am broken
Look me in the eyes baby, ride with me
I'm asking you to come along with me, to trust me
I can take it there, ride with me
I can take you places, trust me
I know what you want, where you live, what you need
I understand your desires, your location, and your needs
I can make it real, hold it down for you, feel you bleed
I can make it happen, support you, and share your pain
I keep my eyes on the stars
I have high aspirations
That's where I come from
My origins are otherworldly
Belt of Orion
I draw strength from the constellation Orion's belt
Son of the Sun God
I am a descendant of the Sun God
You know my name, I'm The Conqueror
I am a conqueror, my name speaks for itself
The Lion
I am fierce and strong, like a lion
King, Ka Maya Maya& come
I am the king, leading others to greatness
Twenty Twelve, come twelve tribes, come twelve strands, come twelve lives
The year 2012 is symbolic, representing twelve tribes, strands, and lives
Twelve steps, twelve months, twelve drug dealers
The number twelve appears in many aspects of life
All make bail, kicked cause of the crowded jails
Those who get arrested are often released due to overcrowded jails
Sex and violence sells
Controversial topics are popular, even if they are negative
Twelve serial killers, twelve dead without a trail or a trace&
Twelve people have been killed without any evidence or proof of the killer's identity
It's prime time, the fight night, pay per view, suicide, the bee sting
The situation is intense, a battle with high stakes and the possibility of death
Butterfly
A symbol of transformation and change
