What is time?
Time is when a man is trying to make time with your woman
But you doing time behind bars and your time is standing still
Yo, Frost, kick it to these people for real, you know what I'm sayin'?
Time, slips through the hourglass, through night and day
And I watch as the games people play
It's like do unto others then split
And if you can't back up what you say then you ain't shit
I've seen the manifestations of the street
So I can manifest what I see on a drumbeat
Like just last night (Yo, what happened, man?)
I watched these two vatos get in a crazy fight
One of them was quick to pull a knife
He stabbed him in the heart and now he's doing life
In prison at the age of 21
Living on death row 'cause he couldn't let go
Caught in the web of violence
Roll deep when they creep and move in silence of the lambs
A tattooed teardrop as the iron gates slam
Ain't no sunshine (Ain't no sunshine)
Ain't no sunshine (Ain't no sunshine)
Ain't no sunshine
Anytime, hey
Ain't no sunshine (Ain't no sunshine)
Ain't no sunshine (Ain't no sunshine)
Ain't no sunshine
Anytime
Damn, damn, ain't that a shame?
You lost, so pay the cost, shouldn't have played the game
Should have listened to the Frost when
I was trying to come across to ya
But no, you didn't think
You just keep getting yourself more deep until you sink
So there's no one else to thank but yourself
So go ahead and take a bow for a job well done
But you'll never see the day of the sunshine or the fun times
Just the old days and your old ways
Corrupt and wicked
Out there doing dirt instead of just kicking it
Pow-pow, bang-bang and all that noise
Yeah, you and all your homeboys
Take the time to read between the lines
'Cause ain't no sunshine
Ain't no sunshine (Ain't no sunshine)
Ain't no sunshine (Ain't no sunshine)
Ain't no sunshine
Anytime, hey
Ain't no sunshine (Ain't no sunshine)
Ain't no sunshine (Ain't no sunshine)
Ain't no sunshine
Anytime
I know about being macho
Calling the shots, the big time head honcho
But here's something even more gacho
One of my homeboys is your old lady's Sancho
Yo, shit happens
Her number lights up on his beeper right as I'm rapping
While you sit in your cell writing a letter
Saying when you get out, your things'll be better
But man, she couldn't wait
So she's going out on dates
With every Tom, Dick, and Harry
And if you ask me, yo, shit's getting scary
So how you gonna handle this
When your ho's in Los Angeles acting so scandalous?
Yo, you can't blame her, you didn't take the time
And now ain't no sunshine
Ain't no sunshine (Ain't no sunshine)
Ain't no sunshine (Ain't no sunshine)
Ain't no sunshine
Anytime, hey
Ain't no sunshine (Ain't no sunshine)
Ain't no sunshine (Ain't no sunshine)
Ain't no sunshine
Anytime
So if you don't wanna do no time, you better take time
And try to draw the line, you know what I'm sayin'?
Or you gonna be the next fool in line doing time
You know what I'm sayin'? Like my man said
Ain't no sunshine, fool
Ain't nothin' happening up there, you know what I'm sayin'?
Yo, me and Frost is outta here, peace
There just ain't no sunshine
