Take Your Time

[Verse 1]
Here we go
When I was nineteen, I felt forty-two
Now I'm in my twenty's and I feel immortal
Lost track of time but not my morals
Friends round purple like Crown Royal
But who am I to judge, how niggas lean with it
Them franchise boys, white tees, linen
Had cotton mouths since fifteen with it
Gone rock with it, it smell like teen spirit
Young, Black and gifted, been fighting for so long
Framed and acquitted, god damn I'm too strong
Nothing on me god damn I'm King Kong
Been to the UN and y'all just made songs
Yo, y'all just make songs
Hey, but tomorrows not promised today
But today I promise I'mma make it better
In the meanwhile, in the meantime, trust I mean well
I mean, it gets better
Patience is a virtue, every day is rehearsal
Girl I won't hurt you, gaining axis/access
Like when the earth move
I'm a new nigga, I don't know you

[Hook]
See I take my time but I don't waste my time
Tick tock, wrist watch, you gotta be late sometimes
Even on my own, I'm in my own way sometime
In my own way sometime
Punch in, Pink slip, It just don't work sometime
It just don't work

[Verse 2]
I'm only 30 percent of who I need to be
I'm on a slippery slope that I don't need to ski
I'm an asshole but I don't mean to be
You did a Ted Talk, you on easy street
Where them Starbucks come week to week
The whole neighbourhood changed
They got us all locked up, that's link to link
The whole neighbourhood chained
Go take your time, before your time take you
Better catch a break before they break you
Just make sure they don't change you
Will you make it? I don't know yet cause I got to make it quick
My to do list be they bucket list, uh

[Hook]
See I take my time but I don't waste my time
Tick tock, wrist watch, you gotta be late sometimes
Even on my own, I'm in my own way sometime
In my own way sometime
Punch in, Pink slip, It just don't work sometime
It just don't work, It just don't work
It just don't work, It just don't work, It just don't work It just don't work, It just don't work, It just don't work

[Bridge]
Filling out this paperwork to make this paper work
Filling out this paperwork to make this paper work
Filling out this paperwork to make this paper work
Filling out this paperwork to make this paper work
Filling out this paperwork to make this paper work
Filling out this paperwork to make this paper work
Filling out this paperwork to make this paper work
Filling out this paperwork to make this paper work
Feeling all this pain to make this paperwork, paper work
