Jadakiss - "Shoot me in the watch, I got time to kill" - On The Carter IV
Lil Wayne - "I get money to kill time, dead clocks" - On The Carter IV
J. Cole ft Jay-Z - "Mr. Nice WATCH" - On J. Cole's new album

These are just the ones I know off top and some of the easiest ya'll can find since these albums/songs leaked all over the internet. & I think the reason rappers talk about time is because Time = money.

Time is a concept invented by man to keep track of when the sun goes up and down. It's not something existential to the world we live in. What do the people with A LOT of money have? Free time. If you disagree, even the busiest celebs have time. With that money they can spend it however they want, whereever they want, whenever they want, etc.

What about the average person? We get $$$ by giving time. Think about it. You work a 9-5 and are rewarded at the end of the week with money. You get money for giving up your time, because time is limited on this earth & this is something EVERYONE knows. And those that don't have alot of it, want alot of it. Those that have a lot of it, want more. (The rich & the powers that be)

If you commit a crime, you do time. If you evade taxes, you do time. Why? Because taxes are $$ that you owe the government, and if you can't pay it - they take time away from you.

Time = money, except it's more valuable, and those at the top know they'd trade all the wealth in the world for some extra time.

Dude.

You read way too much causality into things.
