According to Awon, “Take Time” is about dude selling weed who falls for a customer with a man. She seems interested and lets him have “it” but she tries to have her cake and eat it too and he plays her out."

I'll take time to understand you
When nobody else will care
I'll take time to understand you
When nobody else will care
[Verse 1: Awon]
He might be what you want, but I'm what you need
A glass of Merlot and some Sour D
And I'm a better role model for your seeds
Knowledge, wisdom, understanding, girl I got degrees
And like my man Dicap say, "tell a friend"
With compliments I'm sparking up your estrogen
That pretty brown round full of melanin
The way it jiggle looking like some gelatin
I want to touch you taste you, your pudding pop
Is motivation relations we couldn't stop
Electric relaxation was on my box
Your heart beat is racing when you on the top
Your nails dig into my skin when you climax
Looking at my watch wishing to turn the time back
I'm watching you, watching me, watching you
With the same expression like what we just do word
[Hook]
I'll take time to understand you
When nobody else will care
I'll take time to understand you
When nobody else will care
[Verse 2: Awon]
You text me the next day while I was at work
Using up all my data time for that jerk
Didn't even mention last night and that hurt
All you wanted was a fat sack of that purp
So I tell you I got you like always do
Give you a roundabout time when I'm coming through
To be thoughtful I bought you some flowers
I'm at your crib in a couple of hours
I'm surprised his car is parked outside
I didn't even get the roses out of my ride (my ride)
He even answered your door, I had to dap him up (dap him up)
We like the same ball team, I had to chat him up (chat him up)
I said hello and goodbye the bag is on me (on me)
Maybe you want to work it out with homie
Even though when you're with him you feel lonely
Even know you won't be his one and only
[Hook]
I'll take time to understand you
When nobody else will care
I'll take time to understand you
When nobody else will care
[Verse 3: Awon]
You hit me up the next day tryna explain (explain)
No need I ain't got no time for head games (games)
It's a simple choice, either me or him
See I could just fall back and I could be your friend (be your friend)
But it's complicated 'cause you let me have it
I ain't Elmer Fudd, baby I don't chase the rabbit
Curiosity of you and I provoke this
We both know what's best, so I propose this
You figure out just what you want to do first
I ain't rushing you baby girl the truth hurts
And yo, touching you, yo that ain't right
If you gonna fuck your man on the same night
[Hook]
I'll take time to understand you
When nobody else will care
I'll take time to understand you
When nobody else will care
