[intro prince teddy]
What is time? time is when a man is trying to make time with your
Woman
But your doing time behind bars and your time is standing still. yo
Frost kick it to these people for real you know what iand'm saying?
[verse 1 frost]
Time sits through the hour glass through night and day
And i watch as the games people play
Itand's like do unto others than split
And if you canand't back up what you say then you ainand't shit (yeah)
Iand've seen the manifestations of the street
So why canand't i confess what i see on a drumbeat
Like just last night (yo what happened)
I watched these two vatos get in a crazy fight
One of them was quick to pull a knife
He stabbed him in the heart and now heand's doing life
In prison at the age of 21 (yeah)
Living on death row cause he couldnand't let go
Caught in the web of violence (damn)
Roll deep when they creep, and move in silence of the lambs (yo)
A tattooed tear dropped as the iron gates slam
[chorus - bill withers and frost]
Ainand't no sunshine - bill withers
Ainand't no sunshine - frost
Ainand't no sunshine - bill withers
Ainand't no sunshine - frost
Ainand't no sunshine - bill withers
Anytime, hey - frost
Ainand't no sunshine - bill withers
Ainand't no sunshine - frost
Ainand't no sunshine - bill withers
Ainand't no sunshine - frost
Ainand't no sunshine, anytime - bill withers
[verse 2 - frost]
Damn, damn ainand't that a shame?
Youand're lost so take the caution donand't play the game
Shouldand've listen to the frost when i was trying to come across to you
But no you didnand't think (sucker)
You just keep getting yourself more deep until you sink
So thereand's no one else to thank but yourself
So go ahead take bow for a job well done
But youand'll never see the day of the sunshine or the fun times
Just the old days and your old ways
Corrupt and wicked
Out there doing dirt, instead of just kicking it
Pow pow bang bang and all that noise (yeah)
Yeah you and all your homeboys
Take time to read between the lines
Cause ainand't no sunshine
[chorus]
[verse 3 - frost]
(yo kid) i know about being macho
Callinand' the shots the big time head honcho (yeah)
But hereand's something even more gacho
One of my homeboys is your old lady sancho
Yo shit happens
I know the lights of all these people right as iand'm rapping
While you sit in a cell writing a letter
Saying when you get out, your things will be better (right)
But man she couldnand't wait
So sheand's going out on a date
With every tom, dick, and harry
And if you ask me, your shitand's getting scary
So how you gonna handle this
When your homeand's in los angeles
Acting so scandalous
Yo, you canand't blame her you didnand't take the time
And now, ainand't no sunshine
[chorus]
Ainand't no sunshine - bill withers
Ainand't no sunshine - frost
Ainand't no sunshine - bill withers
Ainand't no sunshine - frost
Ainand't no sunshine - bill withers

So if you donand't wanna do no time, you better take time to try to draw
The line you know what iand'm saying? or youand're gonna be the next fool in
Line
