Take time is the ninth song from Samm Henshaw’s Untidy Soul Album and features Tobe Nwigwe. The song features a triple narrative: (1) Samm sings to a potential lover and suggests taking time in their relationship and not rushing to the physical aspects that many relationships tend to enter too quick...
[Chorus: Choir]
All y'all thinking about is kissing and hugging
And loving
I just think we gotta take time
All y’all thinking about is kissing and hugging
And loving
I just think we gotta take time
[Verse 1: Samm Henshaw]
I've been noticin' lately there’s a shift in your way
Back and forth, these motions make our conversations sway
I just get the feeling that you're too stuck in that space
Think about it, just think about it, ooh, yeah, yeah
If I brought you flowers, made you coffee in the morning (Good morning)
Placed it on a plate so everybody sees me ballin' (He's ballin')
If that means I love you more, if that is all it takes
Baby, I would rather wait, aw yeah
[Chorus: Samm Henshaw and Choir]
All y'all thinking about is kissing and hugging (Yeah)
And loving (And loving)
I just think we gotta take time (I just think we gotta take time, hey)
All y'all thinking about is kissing and hugging (Oh, yeah)
And loving
I just think we gotta take time (Yeah)
Take a second, let it breathe
Take a minute, baby, just let it be
Oh, all y'all thinking about is kissing and hugging
And loving
I just think we gotta take time
[Verse 2: Samm Henshaw]
Yeah, get out your head, it’s alright
I know some days we waste all our energy
Caught in the web we weave
Picture perfect moments that we never had, pretending
Think about it, just think about it, ooh, yeah, yeah
[Chorus: Samm Henshaw and Choir]
All y’all thinking about is kissing and hugging
And loving (Aw, yeah)
I just think we gotta take time (Baby, we should take time)
All y'all thinking about is kissing and hugging
And loving (Oh-oh)
I just think we gotta take time (Yeah)
Take a second, let it breathe
Take a minute, baby, just let it be
Oh, all y’all thinking about is kissing and hugging
And loving
I just think we gotta take time, yeah
[Post-Chorus: Samm Henshaw]
If I bought you flowers (flowers), flowers
If I bought you flowers (flowers), bought you flowers
If I bought you flowers (flowers), flowers
Think about it, think about it, ooh yeah yeah
[Bridge: Tobe Nwigwe]
Look
Remember fiendin' to release my semen
Swear, I had a demon underneath my covers
And I remember chasing after hella boxes with a packet full of extra rubbers
They say palates that don't know good seasonin'
Probably prefer their dishes hella smothered
And hell, I ain’t different
There was years in my kitchen I ain't had nothin' but gravy in the cupboard
Or a cabinet
Either way, it's clear I was a magnet
For hypersexual, somewhat ravenous, savages
Described as immaculate, pristine beings
Yeah
It was like this since my mid-teens
So I write to smite the hype described as love
To those who have sight, but can't see (But can't see)
See (Clearly, clearly)
Yeah
[Chorus: Samm Henshaw]
All y'all thinking about is kissing and hugging (Yeah)
And loving
I just think we gotta take time
All y'all thinking about is kissing and hugging
And loving (Oh-oh)
I just think we gotta take time (Yeah)
Take a second, let it breathe
Take a minute, baby, just let it be
Oh, all y'all thinking about is kissing and hugging
And loving
I just think we gotta take time, yeah
[Outro: Samm Henshaw]
If I bought you flowers (flowers), flowers
If I bought you flowers (flowers), bought you flowers
If I bought you flowers (flowers), flowers
Think about it, think about it, ooh yeah yeah
If I do-do-do-do-do, da-da-da-da-da-da
If I bought you flowers (Flowers)
If I brought you flowers (Flowers)
If I brought you flowers
If I bought you flowers
Would you still love me the same, baby?

This song had so many different versions at one point. I went to different people, like, ‘We’ve got this hook, it’s really good, but we still need verses for this song.’ There’s parts from every person that’s contributed to the song—Anais is the vocal you hear on the chorus, Josh Grant, Trey Campbel...
