Time (is) Lyrics

[Intro: Solange]
Oh, no
No, no
No, no
No, no
No, no

[Verse: Solange]
I was getting to feel
All the way (By the way you comb your hair)
Keepin' it real
"Give your all," you would say to me
Only way to know your heart (If I call you now)
And it gives me hope for the trials
And the fear of the unknown that moves too close (Real close)
But we gotta go
Yeah, we gotta go
But the way to do it
Just (Yay)
Do us just
Then you’ll know
Go

[Refrain: Solange]
You gotta know
You gotta know
You gotta know
You gotta know
You gotta know
You gotta know
You gotta know
You gotta know
You gotta know
[Pre-Chorus: Solange & Sampha]
Ooh, ooh, know (Tried to let it go)
Ooh, ooh, know (Tell me where you go)
Ooh, ooh, know (Tell me where you are)
Ooh, ooh, know (Tell me where's the storm)
Ooh, ooh, know (Tell me drive this out your mind)
Ooh, ooh, know (I was only yours)
Ooh, ooh, know (I was only yours)

[Chorus: Solange & Sampha]
You've got to know (You’ve got to know)
You've got to know (You've got to know)
You've got to know (You've got to know)
You've got to know (You've got to know)
You've got to know (You’ve got to know)
You’ve got to know (You've got to know)
You’ve got to know (You've got to know)
(He's got to know)
You've got to know (You’ve got to know)
You've got to-

[Outro]
Ohh, ohh
Yeah, ohh, ahh

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 [?]

“Time (is)” is the 10th song on Solange’s album featuring Sampha with additional vocals by Tyler, the Creator and Panda Bear. This song is a much slower pace compared to the previous song “Almeda” with Playboi Carti. This song really showcases Solange’s range and techniques that set her apart from other artists.
