T.I.M.E. (The Inner Mind's Eye) is the second and final studio album by American hip-hop group Leaders of the New School. It was released on October 12, 1993, via Elektra Records. The recording sessions took place at Apollo Studios, Platinum Island Studios, The Music Palace and Chung King House of Metal in New York. The album was produced by group members Busta Rhymes, Charlie Brown, Cut Monitor Milo and Dinco D, as well as the Vibe Chemist Backspin, Raheem Isom, Rampage, R.P.M., and Sam Sever. It features guest appearances from Blitz, Brittle Lo, Collie Weed, Cool Whip, Jeranimo, the Capital L.S., Pudge God, Rampage, and Sha-Now.

The album peaked at number 66 on the Billboard 200 and number 15 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts in the United States. It was supported with two singles: "What's Next" and "Classic Material". Its lead single, "What's Next", made it to number 77 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, number 1 on the Hot Rap Songs and number 7 on the Dance Singles Sales charts. The second single off of the album, "Classic Material", reached number 20 on the Dance Singles Sales chart.

The album did not fare as well as their debut album, garnering a mixed critical reception. After the album's release, the group began having both creative and personal problems, resulting in their disbandment.
