Malcolm London - Take Your Time lyrics

[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 n***as 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 n***a, 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 a**hole 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
