Yeah
Uh-huh
Yeah, yeah
Yo, who you textin'?
What you mean, yo? (Who the fuck is that?)
I look stupid to you?
Nah, you sound stupid
It's 8 o'clock in the mornin', you fake yawnin'
I noticed you been textin' a while so I'm fake snorin' (yeah)
I roll on to your side of the bed and I face forward
I just know that you been messin' around but I can't prove it
I'm like, "Look" (what?)
Who the fuck is that? (Who the fuck is who?)
Boy, I'll break that phone in half
Man, you trippin'
You get on your shit and you throw a fit (for real)
And you start creatin' pictures of bitches that don't exist (for real)
And it be the same ones with the temper that won't admit
And you wonder why a nigga won't commit
Man, you know you on some shit (no, you are)

You could never waste my time
Can't afford to have you on my mind
So you can go and save your lies
Can't have nobody fuckin' up my vibe
Spend no time with me (spend no time)
Spend no time with me (spend no time)
Me, me (spend no time)

Yo
Why every time I come around you bring these hoes up? (Because)
And every time that I turn down, you turn your nose up? (Because)
You keep talkin' but you playin' like you know stuff
And every time I try to walk away you wanna throw stuff (wait, hold up)
So now you gaslight?
And that bitch from your past right? (Nah)
I told you I was born at night, not last night (okay) (dummy)
Don't, don't get slick
'Cause I'll run up in your shit
What you think, because I'm passive
I won't pull up on your bitch?
Well, we ain't gon' talk about the past 'cause I know niggas that you hit (yeah)
And all them niggas had you gassed off of the bag that they ain't get
And how they walked out on the tab and had you sad, lookin' sick
Hashtag, nigga bagged you for a pic (ha)
Oh the bag that they ain't get
How quickly you forget (uh-huh, what?)
'Cause I remember givin' you my last for you to flip (you forgot?)
So you got some audacity to casually convince yourself you him
Would've never been a thing if I ain't-
Man, yo, yo, yo, what's the deal with you? (What?)
I'm just tryna build with you
I feel like you lyin', just keepin' it real with you (true)
Yeah, well I feel like you tryin' too hard and it's real simple
Real simple?
Look, you wastin' my time is the real issue

You could never waste my time
Can't afford to have you on my mind
So you can go and save your lies
Can't have nobody fuckin' up my vibe
Spend no time with me (spend no time)
Spend no time with me (spend no time)
Me, me

You could never waste my time
Can't afford to have you on my mind
So you can go and save your lies
Can't have nobody fuckin' up my vibe
Spend no time with me (spend no time)
Spend no time with me (spend no time) (yo, who you textin'?)
Me, me (what you mean, yo?)





I look stupid to you?
Nah, you sound stupid

Overall Meaning

In this song, London is having a confrontation with their partner about suspicions of infidelity. The lyrics suggest that London has noticed their partner texting someone else early in the morning and pretends to be asleep to observe their behavior. Despite not having concrete proof, London confronts their partner, demanding to know who the person they are texting is. At first, their partner denies any wrongdoing, but London dismisses their excuses and accuses them of being dishonest.


London expresses their frustration with their partner's behavior, claiming that they constantly bring up other people when they are together. Their partner also seems knowledgeable about certain topics but pretends to know more than they actually do. London implies that their partner throws tantrums and creates false narratives about imaginary women, highlighting their inability to take responsibility for their actions. London questions why their partner wonders why they won't commit when they behave in such a way.


The chorus suggests that London refuses to let their partner waste their time. They emphasize that they can't afford to have their partner consume their thoughts and disrupt their positive energy. The repetition of "spend no time with me" reinforces London's determination to distance themselves from the toxic relationship.

London asserts their own knowledge, claiming to know people their partner has been involved with in the past. They accuse their partner of being with them for materialistic reasons and forgetting their past contributions. London points out their partner's audacity in comparing themselves to someone they are not and highlights the self-deception that their partner engages in.


In the final verse, London expresses their desire to build a genuine connection with their partner and accuses them of lying. They feel that their partner is trying too hard and demands honesty and authenticity. The song ends with London questioning if they appear foolish to their partner and asserting that their partner sounds foolish themselves.

Still got the 12". BRILLIANT EP.

@sterobwall

Me too, my favourite piece of vinyl.

@BackToTheBlues

@@sterobwall And me - one of the first punky things I bought, on the recommendation of the record shop owner! I still think their version of Friday On My Mind is the best ever.
Many years later I played in a band with the bass player, Steve Voice. Nice guy.

@ricksuegreen1753

This record is 1977 in 2 min 37 seconds

@darrendodd6674

More romantic than anything the pistols could muster up (in retrospect of course). Great comment.
