Why y'all wanna stress me for
Can't a young man have fun anymore
Been to more places then you ever saw
Why you always wanna keep me poor
Can't my world be cooler than yours
Keep a smoke in between my jaws
Or is it my job to point out my flaws
Just because you got your mind on pause
'Cause I ain't got no time tonight
For all the things that just ain't right
Like traffic lights and crowded trains
Tonight it just won't be the same
(chorus)
You can't hold me down
Ain't gonna be pushed around
Why you always wanna try and stop me
I don't think you could really top me
Can't my car be quicker than yours
Or is it my job to always wash floors
Don't blame me for the way I live
My work is done it's time to give
I don't think you should get all mad
Just because I wanna groove so bad
You can sit down and let the world
Bring you down in that spiral twirl
You can't penetrate the crust
And rise above the eyes like us
'Cause I ain't got no time tonight
For all the things that just ain't right
Like traffic lights and crowded trains
Tonight it just won't be the same
(chorus)
Why you always look at me so wrong
Just because I wear my hair so long
Can't my world be bigger than yours
Or is it my job to always break laws
Can't my talk be smoother than yours
Why you always wanna shut your doors
I ain't got no time for your wars
You don't have to worry about me no more
'Cause I ain't got no time tonight
For all the things that just ain't right
Like traffic lights and crowded trains
Tonight it just won't be the same
(chorus)
