about time

It's about time that I learnt my lesson It's about time that I burnt my skin (it's about time that I burnt my skin) It's about time that I learnt some patience (ain't it 'bout time that I learnt some patience?) Just to give it to him

Yeah, my brother gave me a hug Before a minute felt the safety of love I never been the type to pray to above But now I'm fallin' on my knees, no one's takin' 'em drugs

They say, "It is what it is", I say it was what it was You did for money, yo, I did it because I like that feelin' when my belly all fuzz And ever since I caught that feelin' I've been chasin' that buzz

But I can't find it, ayo, I wish I could rewind it Like everybody, feel that tingle in my spine shit You know that feelin' summin' up between your eyes I put the words together 'til I pick that perfect rhymin'

It's timin', people tellin' me I changed Like I'm doin' all this shit to stay the same Like you couldn't find beauty in the pain If I had a second chance, I'd do it all again, I, yeah

It's about time that I learnt my lesson (it's about time that I learnt my lesson, yeah) It's about time that I burnt my skin (it's about time that I burnt my skin) It's about time that I learnt some patience (ain't it 'bout time that I learnt some patience? Yeah) Just to give it to him, just to give it to him, yeah

Don't tell me that you wouldn't do the same ('cause you would) If you had a chance to make a name If you saw the beauty in the pain I'm tryna make a little money for my people who remain

And still, I take the blame for everything that we did My mother said you shouldn't shit where you live And here I am, I take another shit in my crib Say another fuckin' thing I know you couldn't forgive

They said my son needs a father, haha Not a rapper, can I give him what he's after? I shrug, I couldn't give a response Yo, for my son I do whatever she wants

You could consider me gone, and I consider me strong But I could never move on Yo, I just sit here and right my wrongs The only way I get to write these songs, like, yeah

It's about time that I learnt my lesson (it's about time that I learnt my lesson) It's about time that I burnt my skin (it's about time that I burnt my skin) It's about time that I learnt some patience (it's about time that I learnt some patience, ay) Just to give it to him, just to give it to him

It's about time that I learnt my lesson (it's about time that I learnt my lesson) It's about time that I burnt my skin (it's about time that I burnt my skin) It's about time that I learnt some patience (ain't it 'bout time that I learnt some patience?) Just to give it to him, just to give it to him

(Are you finished?) Yeah I'm finished (daddy, put them down) Okay, you want a go? (I wanna go home) Wanna go home?
