Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I got caught up
Your friends are single
They shouldn't talk up
You wanted daytime
I gave you late night
You're getting tired of
Saying the same shit, all day
All day
All day
And you always say
I hate when it feels like
You don't have time for me
Nuh time
Nuh time
Nuh nuh
She said, she said
I hate when it feels like
You don't have time for me
Nuh time
Nuh time
Nuh nuh
I know you say that
People make time for
Shit that they want well
It's not that I don't want you
It's that you want more
From me
From me
You make it hard to trust you
And right now you're talking crazy
First marriage, then babies
Then test me, you hate me
But we still do the same thing all day
All day
All day
All day
And you always say
I hate when it feels like
You don't have time for me
Nuh time

The song "Nuh Time / Tek Time" by DVSN is a song about a relationship that is on the brink of falling apart due to a lack of communication and effort. The opening lyrics suggest that the singer regrets not calling their partner when they had the chance, and now they feel like they are caught in a rut. The singer's partner complains that they don't have time for them, suggesting that the relationship has become a low priority in the singer's life.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Nuh Time," which is Jamaican patois for "no time" or "not enough time," and the singer's partner reiterates that they hate feeling like they don't have time for them. The bridge of the song offers a glimmer of hope that the relationship can be saved if the singer takes the time to care for their partner's needs and responds to their complaints. The final lyrics express the singer's desire to take their time with their partner and give them the attention they need.
Overall, "Nuh Time / Tek Time" is a poignant commentary on the importance of communication and effort in a relationship. Both partners are struggling to express and receive love, and the singer realizes that they need to put in the work to save the relationship.

@lnsatiate
Damn, I remember listening to this late nights on my way home from work. One of my favourite songs from dvsn. That transition to Tek time brings a tear to my eye. 3 years went by too damn quick
@milforddenzelchiwamira-ndh2374
Bruh, it has to be one of the best transitions in the genre, ever! Tek Time needs an extension.
