Wasting Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a pimp, you can check my stats
And roll in a Fleetwood, that's how I mack
I rock all the tracks, so the world knows
I love all the girls, smack all the hoes
Show love to those who come real with it
Life's a bitch, but I deal with it

I'm in it to win it like Yzerman
Could drink about 15 Heinekens
I'm not born again, but if I was
I'd ask to come back with a little more love
Well I'm puffing a Winston, drinking a four-oh
Kid Rock, and I'ma let you know


[Chorus]
I've been sitting here just wasting time
Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind
I've been sitting here just wasting time
Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind

[Verse 2]
It's been a couple of months in this smokey room
Eating shrooms drinking Boone's, writing tunes
And hoping to get one of these motherfucking songs to hit
A little bit of love, that's all I need
A little inspiration and a bag of weed
A seed to plant so my tree can grow
You know I left my girl 'cause I need that hooooo-ld up
Wait a minute I'm about to flow
Like a breeze through the trees you can watch me blow
Puffing a Winston, drinking a four-oh
Kid Rock and I'ma let you know

[Chorus]
I've been sitting here just wasting time
Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind
I've been sitting here just wasting time
Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind

[Bridge]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Free my mind

[Verse 3]
I ain't no rough guy, ain't no tough guy
Don't get out much and don't dress up fly
A pawn in the game that's all I am
Giving all my ducats to Uncle Sam
Fuck it, I'm free to do what I please little lady
I was born at night, but not last night baby
I've been around, seen some things
I slept in dumpsters, got high with kings
I don't bring much, ain't gotta lot to say
But I got more time than Morris Day
Puffing a Winston drinking a four-oh
Kid Rock and I'ma let you know


[Chorus]
I've been sitting here just wasting time
Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind
I've been sitting here just wasting time
Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind
(Smoking and drinking)
I've been sitting here just wasting time
Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind
(Trying to free my mind)
I've been sitting here just wasting time
Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind
[Outro]
Wasting my time
Hey, I'm smoking
Hey, I'm drinking
Trying to free my mind
I've been sitting here just wasting time
Drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind

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 [?]
