It Takes Time

I just been stuck up on this road and I'm tryna make it home No distractions no friends around me no more Hard to admit but the thought of it all is long gone Stay out the way and keep quiet don't tell them nothing It be your people hating when you're up to something Guess when you start doing well they don't seem to like it I swear it's too much going on behind them smiling So keep your circle small as a cheerio Cuz you never know who's gonna switch for sure And life's a bitch so make sure you reap what you sow Do not trust nobody they gon' leave you on your own I had to break my back just to get what I want Stayed up late at night to put in extra hard work It wasn't easy I admit I had to go with the flow God kept on showing signs so I knew he had something in store For me Cuz how could I hold back Damn how could I stop I was taught to chase that bag Do you understand let's run it back And I couldn't hold back cuz damn how could I stop Had to run to get that bag And stack my racks on top of racks Life is a code and I'm cracking this shit Making hit after hit and I don't need no spliffs Rappers think they do better when they hit that shit Damn you gotta be dumb enough to think that shit Pen in my hand head down about to right all my wrongs Been asking Lord for forgiveness I hope he gimme more hope And I know it takes time 'fore you clean out your soul It's getting hard to get by with the devil leading me on It takes some time to shine It takes some time to shine Oh yeah So Give me some time to shine Give me some time to shine Oh oh
