Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time, time, time, time
Petty, petty, petty, petty
Time, time, time, time
Plenty
Plenty
Plenty
Plenty
Whoo
I don't got time
I'm being petty
Yeah I got time
I got plenty
But I ain't gonna waste it on you, no
I ain't gonna waste it on you, hoe
I ain't gonna waste it on you, know
I ain't gonna waste it on you
Woo
Never ever
I won't ever let em mess the wave up
Woo
Never better
How I've been feeling as of late yeah
Laid off
They lost
I'm on
At what cost
Everything
Let it ring
Badaboom
Then its badabing
I'm up before 6 in the morning
You're still asleep while I'm getting all on it
Handing out shade like I built you an awning
I'm all in, and balling
While mauling opponents
We're loaded, provoking
I'm watching and hoping
You fall from your throne
So I'm holding them right by the throat
Steady choking them
Knowing that I ain't got time for the bull shit
Nah
Anytime they hand me the rock I'm ball out
Call downs
Yeah I'm that boy like I'm fall out
Small crowd
Standing outside and they all bout me
Yeah it is what it is
Talking c'est la vie
Save ya'll beef
You wanna go hate on me
No day I'm free
The way I see time
They don't wanna pay I'll leave
A cold world, let me say my peace
Get Off Deez like I'm JID
I don't got time
I'm being petty
Yeah I got time
I got plenty
But I ain't gonna waste it on you, no
I ain't gonna waste it on you, hoe
I ain't gonna waste it on you, know
I ain't gonna waste it on you
I don't got time
I'm being petty
Yeah I got time
I got plenty
But I ain't gonna waste it on you, no
I ain't gonna waste it on you, hoe




I ain't gonna waste it on you, know
I ain't gonna waste it on you
