Time's A Wastin Lyrics

Lyric discussion by NUBIAN 

Cover art for Time's A Wastin lyrics by Erykah Badu

Time's a wastin Don't you take your time young man Keep on driftin and Ain't no tellin where you'll land

Run baby, run, run Where you runnin to? And who you runnin from? Some people may not understand What it means to be a man Takin full command

I think this song is regarding the rich culture of Black people's and our vibrant history.

I specifically believe she is talking to Black men - who have lost vision, of their greatness. I love it, reminds me of an ex boyfriend.
