Wasting Time Lyrics

Hook x2: [Liam of Kids These Days]
Look back, cry, and I think of tears
Hope I haven't wasted all these years

Maybe I'm a waste of time, but tell me I'm not wasting time x2

[Verse 1: Chance The Rapper]
My darling Nicki, damn I love you
Don’t know what that means now, but I love you

I know that I was nowhere around, holding you down, doing shows knowing hoes was around
Should've had you 'til it was no one around, til I turned old, had a stroke, thirty toes in the ground
Through the fake smiles, you could’ve chosen to bounce
Before the wills and the lawsuits and the frozen accounts
Putting water under a bridge 'til it froze and we drowned

Shouldn't have paid for all these birthdays, the clothes, and the clowns
And balloons, and as June prom time, girl’s clothes in the gowns
And if, I don't know if it should go that far

But to see it and then to wake up and not is such a heart break
I don’t know if I should have started but

My darling Nicki, damn I love you
Don’t know what that means now, but I love you


[Hook]

[Verse 2: Vic Mensa]
Yeah, Namaste
I was calling out
Hopefully heard the sound
Would've been writing, but we was too busy tossing words around
I guess it's all connected
At the end of the day I can't be mad, cause more than anything its self reflected
I shine a light into the foreground
I hope you see the floor now
Not to mention, give it a couple of months and I'll be tour bound
She'll be waiting for me like she always was
But for now, think about who number you dialed when you got out that courthouse

I wish that this was any consolation
For every sentence missed and lost and missing conversation

I think of you, you think of me
I think we've grown impatient

Should've used the reappointed time I feel like we could waste in
But before my aid becomes my ways man
I'mma keep it real, I need two or three mill
If not, I'ma flip, probably kill myself

We don't ever wanna see it go down that route
At the end of the day, what's the point in living life
If all your time is for you and nothing's given away?
What a waste

[Hook]
Look back cry and I think of tears
Hope I haven't wasted all these years
Maybe I'm a waste of time
Maybe I'm a waste of time

I don't know who I'm supposed to be (Maybe I'm a waste of time) x4

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
