Erykah Badu: Time's A Wastin' I love Erykah so much for writing this. Such an encouraging, positive, motivational piece of art. I wanna move mountains every time I hear this song. How does it make you feel?
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 Cause we're Livin in a world that's oh so strange Boy don't let your focus change Takin out the demons in your range, hey Livin in a world that's oh so fast Gotta make your money last Learn from the past, oh Time's a wastin Don't you take your time young man Keep on driftin and Ain't no tellin where you'll land Sweet love and sunshine If it's all in the air Then it's all on your mind Breathe baby Come back to the world Dig up all your pearls Teach the boys and girls, hey Livin in a world that's oh so strange Boy don't let your focus change Takin out the demons in your range, hey Livin in a world that's oh so fast Gotta make your money last Learn from the past, oh Oh baby we need to smile Oh baby we need to smile Oh baby we need to smile Oh baby we need to smile Time's a wastin Don't you take your time young man Keep on driftin and Ain't no tellin where you'll land Oh baby we need to smile Oh baby we need to smile Oh baby we need to smile Oh baby we need to smile Oh, oh, oh, oh... Time's a wastin Don't you take your time young man Keep on driftin and Ain't no tellin where you'll land If I ever meet her, I'll have to give her a huge hug and thank her for writing such a gem. This song reminds me to never lose track of my goals in life. Keep moving forward, and everything will be o.k. In the words of Larry the Cable Guy: GIT 'R DONE! | |

I met her at THe Okayplayer Tour (THe Roots, Slum VIllage, Dead Prez, Talib Kweli, Jazzyfatnastees, Common, Badu, and Bahamadia) in ATL back in 2000. Very nice in person and quite short (even shorter than  )[Edited 9/10/04 17:29pm] "Thinking like the Keys on Prince's piano, we'll be just fine" | |

I really think that Mamas Gun is her best album. "Thinking like the Keys on Prince's piano, we'll be just fine" | |

[Edited 9/10/04 17:29pm] Not that its important but I read somewhere that she's 5'9(as tall as Whitney & Mariah) and the brotha is 5'2. Oh no she's def not shorter than him, you must be a building tho 
I love that song, hell I alove the whole album. Stripped down production-wise but pretty expressive. | |

There certainly was a "feeling" presented on that album that's very noticeable.  | |

I agree wholeheartedly. I think Mama's Gun was the best album released in 2000. The artistic growth she showed between her first studio album and Mama's Gun was astonishing. Green Eyes, Kiss me On My Neck (Hesi), Didn't Cha Know, In Love With You and Penitentiary Philosophy are classic tracks on a damn near perfect album. | |

Might've been her breakup with Common. I didn't care for that album at first, but finally I've warmed up to it, well after seeing her do those tracks live made me appreciate them a lot more! If you haven't seen Erykah live make sure you check her next time she comes around! Her live sets are Ill! I've seen her 4 times and haven't been disappointed yet! SHIT the last time I seen her she was about 7 months pregnant and the was the best show I ever seen her do! | |
