Wasting My Minutes
KiD CuDi feat. 88-Keys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I talk to my baby on a telephone long distance
I never would've guessed i could miss someone so bad, yeah
I really only met her bout a week ago
But, it doesn't seem to matter to my heart i know
That i love her
I'm hoping that i never recover
'cause she's good
(lalalalala)

She's so cool shes so hot
But a scholar she's not
Word she pretty pretty but she's dumb as a rock
But honestly see she's all that i got, and what not
She very genuine and very feminine
But when we on the phone i think her brain i s sleepin in
I try and tell her friends but they as dumb as her
Birds of a feather i guess, but see that makes it worst
I hit her up to say whattup she say "the sky"
I say what's good she say "mcdonald's applepie"
I try to justify it but she ain't get the lingo
But then i peep she aint sleep i date a bimbo

Why oh why
Why must she be so damn fly

Then turn around and be so dumb
Where the fuck this broad come from?

See i don't understand
How it happened man
How did this occur the whole realtionship is blur
I even need to quit smokin my weed
Or make surely she got a GED
(only met about a week ago, but a little bit busy on the telephone)
She's so fine, see we talk all the time
But sometimes i think she's missin her mind
(we only met about a week ago, but a little bit busy on the telephone)
She's a dime, and she's faithfully mine
But something wrong with her head cos she ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
(we only met about a week ago, but a little bit busy on the telephone)
She's so fine, see we talk all the time

You know i called her
And i was just like, damn like she sounded so dumb as hell




Like she aint got no fuckin brain, you know what i mean?
And im just like, your wasting my minutes and shit

Overall Meaning

In Kid Cudi's hit song "Wasting My Minutes," the artist muses about the complexities of his newfound love interest. He starts off by describing her as someone he talks to on the phone "long distance," and confesses that he's never missed someone so much before. Despite only having met her a week ago, he's already head over heels in love with her, and nothing else seems to matter. The chorus is a repeat of this sentiment - he loves her and hopes he never recovers from it, because she's just that good.


However, the second verse takes a slightly more critical view of the relationship. Cudi admits that his love interest is pretty and cool, but definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed. She's not a scholar by any stretch of the imagination, as evidenced by her seeming inability to understand his simple questions and statements. Her friends aren't much better either, which only cements his impression of her as a "bimbo." Despite these reservations, Cudi still feels a strong attachment to her and is loath to give up their relationship.


Overall, "Wasting My Minutes" tells the story of a complicated relationship that's a lot of fun but not necessarily built to last. It's a fun, catchy song that showcases Kid Cudi's unique style and skill as a rapper and songwriter.

Discovered this song when I was around 15, after falling in love with Cudi's music. Just randomly came into my head now and had to have another listen.
