Big Boi - In Due Time lyrics

* explicit version only appears on a promo 12" [Hook: Cee-Lo] Just keep your faith in me Don't act impatiently You'll get where you need to be In due time Even when things are slow Hold on and don't let go I'll give you what I owe In due time [Big Boi] When that n***a be thinkin' of cruisin, the Braves cap is to the side Thinkin' the police gon' pull me over with this herb off in my ride So I hide the brick of weed, under the arm rest, under the leather And thinkin' of startin' ways to make my life a little bit better Than the dope peddler Never to pay no f**ing taxes Takin' a chunk up out of my checks and makin my rhymes just look like practice Buying clothing, Range Roving with my folks Don't speak about the Dirty South, my crew ain't bout no jokes I know some people don't like the way we flow because they envy They talkin' bout how they f**ed my hoes and that they could have been me You lookin' to be the bu*terfly Without the caterpillar Take your time and do it right cause you gon' make it, I swear my n***a Or collapse one Fallin' a victim to your greed, boi You're lookin' to be Big Willie, but you're still a seed, boi The information in my skull be pokin', some of y'all on the shoulder But on the other side of the fence, they got y'all n***as breakin' boulders For quick money [Cee-Lo] Strugglin's just a part of my day Many obstacles have been placed in my way I know the only reason that I make it through Is because I never stop believing in you Some people wonder why we here in the first place They can't believe cause they ain't never seen your face But even when you pray, the next day you gotta try Can't wait for nobody to come down out the sky You've got to realize that the world's a test You can only do your best and let Him do the rest You've got your life And got your health So quit procrastinating and push it yourself You've got to realize that the world's a test You can only do your best and let Him do the rest You've got your life And got your health So quit procrastinating... [Hook] [Verse 2: Andre Benjamin] Uh Who said good folks is not supposed to die The same n***a that said n***as is not supposed to cry United States giving out milk and cheese to pacify I'm sure they got a cure for A.I.D.S., but yet it's cla**ified You wonder why I spit the truth and not to make no dough To make a difference for this motherf**er up and blow In pieces I could think of many reasons Only when sh** is goin' bad, you want to holla Jesus f**, I pledge allegiance, they got my knuckles bleedin' From crawling Got these n***as thinkin' they really ballin' When they isn't Don't take my word, there's n***as off in prison That will tell you That's locked up for long time and won't sell you No flex So congregation, will turn you text To the book of OutKast Chapter two, verse one The first one that feel me Jump up and make a joyful noise You'se OutKasted Meaning You now have a choice, like that [Hook] - 2X
