The Time is the 1981 debut album by The Time. The album proper was produced and arranged by Jamie Starr, which was one of Prince's many pseudonyms. The Time produced three singles: "Get It Up", "Cool" and "Girl", with the first two charting within the top ten on the R&B charts. "Cool" was covered by Snoop Dogg for his ninth album, Ego Trippin'.
All songs written and composed by Prince, except where noted.
The Original 7ven (also known as The Time as well as Morris Day and the Time) is an American musical group that was formed in Minneapolis in 1981. Their work has been a part of the formation of the 'Minneapolis sound', featuring a mix of soul music and dance music with funk, rock n roll, and more. Led by singer-songwriter Morris Day, the band members are close Prince associates, and the group is arguably the most successful artist who have worked with him, achieving particular popularity with R&B fans with tracks such as "Jerk Out" and "Jungle Love". Band members Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are also long-time collaborators with Janet Jackson, producing all of her most successful albums.
The band was assembled under a clause in Prince's contract with Warner Bros. that allowed him to recruit and produce other artists for the label. Inspired by the 1980 film The Idolmaker, Prince decided to put together a pop-funk group that would serve as an outlet for material in the vein of his own early albums, while he explored other genres and styles in his own career.
(Intro)
You better get ready now
You better prepare
You better get ready now
You better prepare
(Verse 1)
I've been waiting
Now's the time
I'm ready to do my own
I don't know where I'm going
My destiny's unknown
I've been hating, never mind
I think I've found my even flow
Now my love's forever burning
While evil souls die alone
(Chorus)
Now's the time
The serchers find
But who am I to say
When all I know is the world is cold
And love's the only way
Love's the only way
(Verse 2)
Evil is sowing the seeds of fear, trying to multiply
And you're the only one who knows me
The reason why I try
'Cause I 'm unknowing, you're aware, observing in your disguise
How I wish that you would show me the wisdom in your eyes
Nature's soothing
When I'm hurt, no one is there to feel
When the stars are talking to me
They tell me to prepare
Times are moving throught the dirt
Heaven is everywhere
Making music for me
My comfort through the years
(Chorus)
(Rap)
(Chorus)
(Outro/Fade Out)
You better get ready now
You better prepare
You better get ready now
