Take Time

[Intro]
If I come up, and I fall off, that's on me
That's on me
If I come up, and I fall off, that's on me
That's on me

[Chorus]
If I come up, and I fall off, that's on me (That's on me)
If I fold, and I sell out, that's weak (I know that's weak)
That's why I take my time (That's why I take my time)
Before I make my mind up (Before I make my mind up)
And I do this, like seven days of the week (I do this daily)
And I grind so hard, I don't get much sleep (I'm goin' crazy)
I had to earn my stripes (I had to earn my stripes)
So I don't have to work no 9 to 5, yeah (So I don't have to work no 9 to 5)

[Verse 1]
We be takin' everything for granted, no lie (Uh-huh)
'Cause I remember days that we could barely get by (Oh-yeah)
Used to use the negativity to get high (Weed smoke)
But now the comments we reading can ruin our lifes
Why, it used to be easy back on Easy Street
Hollywood ain't that good, it's goin' down like it's on a need-to-be
Even though now it's lobster all on top of my pasta (Lobster, pasta)
I could still feel locked up like the head of a rasta (Locked up, yeah-yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause they'll take your soul from right up under your nose
And make you feel like you did it just to obtain your goals
Oh, yeah, it's good when you get it, but it don't last that long
'Cause I promise you can't take it when you gone, I swear

[Chorus]
If I come up, and I fall off, that's on me (That's on me)
If I fold, and I sell out, that's weak (I know that's weak)
That's why I take my time (That's why I take my time)
Before I make my mind up (Before I make my mind up)
And I do this, like seven days of the week (I do this daily)
And I grind so hard, I don't get much sleep (I'm goin' crazy)
I had to earn my stripes (I had to earn my stripes)
So I don't have to work no 9 to 5, yeah (So I don't have to work no 9 to 5)

[Verse 2]
We can learn from other peoples' failure sometimes (Uh-huh)
I used to make-believe and tell a plethora of lies (Oh, yeah)
Now I see how actions take affect on my life
'Cause I don't even have a portrait of this family of mine (Man)
I used to be speedin' back on easy street
Hollywood ain't that good, it's goin' down like it's on a need-to-be
Even though I got options, every tree in this garden (Options, garden)
I can still feel lost 'cause every day I wonder, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Will they take my soul from right up under my nose?
Or make me feel like I did it just to obtain my goals?
I mean, it's good when you get it, but it don't last that long
'Cause I promise you can't take it with you when you gone, I swear

[Chorus]
If I come up, and I fall off, that's on me (That's on me)
If I fold, and I sell out, that's weak (I know that's weak)
That's why I take my time (Take my time)
Before I make my mind up (Before I make my mind up)
And I do this, like seven days of the week (I do this daily)
And I grind so hard, I don't get much sleep (They gon' think I'm crazy)
I had to earn my stripes (I had to earn my stripes)
So I don't have to work no 9 to 5, yeah (So I don't have to work no 9 to 5)
