Don't Got No Time
Got out of the station at 125th at 6:00
had to drop off some literature at Grant’s Tomb on 122nd
when I got out of the station
a group of women wanted to braid my hair
I said I’d love to, but I didn’t have time
thought to myself, maybe I’ll stop back later
I’d love braids... they’d feel so free
but I got no time; time’s a slipping away.
Dropped of the literature
gave it to Lennie
he wanted me to hand out literature with him
for Norman Siegel
at this swingin’ jazz concern bout to happen
I said I’d love to, but I don’t have time
gotta drop a key off at my house on 89th by 6:30
man, I’d love to do a lotta things
what I ain’t got time for
time doesn’t have any meaning
so long as there’s existence
let’s just suspend time for long as we wish
and take our time, but not spend any time
cuz time will be of no worth and experience will be free
