[Chorus]
You got the time
You got the time
You got the time
You got the time

[Verse 1]
Just last week I had a good thing goin'
The money was flowin'
I had a notion, I made a motion
To get a girl with love and devotion

I went to a disco
Ordered a bottle of Cisco
Took a seat, and I looked around
Bobbin' my head to the sounds

Of the D.J., okay
This is what I'm tryin' ta say
I heard a scream (ahh)
Then a shot rang out
That's when I got the hell out

[Chorus]
You got the time
Time, time, time to get ill
You got the time
[Verse 2]
Gettin ill, with the boys
Somebody yelled (KILL THAT NOISE!!!)
I didn't even front

Pulled out the brand new pump shotgun
He pulled first, that's when things got worse
I didn't wanna ride in no hearse
So I pulled the trigger with a burst

Of gunfire
He missed, I hit
And that's the end of it

[Chorus]
You got the time
Time, time, time to get ill
You got the time

[Verse 3]
There was this girl named Lisa, I was in love with her
This girl was superior
She had a Benz and a Audi
She was fly, but the girl was kinda rowdy

I couldn't understand her plan
A girl like this didn't have a man
So I pushed her and made my move
To the bass that was real smooth
I pulled her
And now I'm hangin' out with her
She offered me coke
I said no 'cause I don't do dope

She got mad, started breakin'
Started braggin' bout the money she's makin'
Off of sellin' it, for the hell of it
To me it's not irrelevant

[Chorus]
You got the time
Time, time, time to get ill
You got the time

[Verse 4]
Sittin' on a stoop with the rest of the crew
It was nothin' to do
So we took a walk through Central Park
It was dark

A car drove up, it was a Mercedes
Filled with a bunch of ladies
The driver was a guy with a tie
The man was fly
He was a pimp or a dope pusha
I could tell by the way he mushed a
Girl in her face
She ran, he started to chase her

And beat her down to the ground
While the other girls just stood around
We didn't like it, we got mad
He looked like he thought he was bad
Hopped in his car and he drove away
This is what I'm tryin' to say

I've got the time
Time to get ill
I've got the time
Time to get ill
I've got the time
I've got the time
