Tink addresses her man’s infidelity in “I Ain’t Got Time Today” video
The Chicago emcee’s latest is taken from ‘Hopeless Romantic.’
This past Valentine’s Day, Tink liberated her official debut LP Hopeless Romantic, her first since last year’s Voicemails. This week, she delivers a new visual from said debut for “I Ain’t Got Time Today,” which is aimed at a special someone who can’t seem to put a stop to their infidelities:
“I don’t wanna fight in the middle of the day, if there’s another girl, then you better come clean/
Actin’ real shady, tell me what we on ‘fore a b***h go crazy/
I hate when n***as be lyin’, especially when s*** be so small, if you ain’t gon’ ride, then don’t waste my time/
I told you I’m not to be f***ed with, I don’t understand ‘cause I thought we had a plan…/”
The accompanying visual brings Tink’s lyrics to life, as she explained to Complex for its premiere:
“This video is a visual representation of how easy it is to grow apart from someone you love especially when they can’t get right… A woman’s intuition is real, we can always tell when something isn’t right. Whether you like it or not, there comes a time when you have to choose yourself and leave that person you love behind.”
Keeping with the current theme, Tink was recently featured alongside Ari Lennox and 6LACK on K Camp’s latest single “Black Men Don’t Cheat.” The aforementioned Voicemails — which is approaching its one-year anniversary — saw 12 heartfelt tracks and a single appearance from DeJ Loaf on “Ride It.”
A former artist signed to Timbaland’s Mosley Music Group, Tink explained to The FADER why she needed to break free from the hip hop legend’s label back in 2018:
“There was stuff within the business side that messed up a lot of things. Like, you can love a person to death, but if the business isn’t right, there’s always going to be friction. I just felt like nobody was paying attention to what I had going on outside of me and Tim… For me, that was the red flag. I stepped into the deal just hoping that I would be accepted for whatever I created. It wasn’t that type of situation.”
