Shabazz The Disciple - Take Your Time lyrics

* EP on Red Hook Records [Shabazz The Disciple] Impressive times, everybody lives the fast life Running around, selling d**, living trife In order to survive, we have to strive For perfection and have a direction to guide The young ones, out of the darkness of reality It's rap standing for this mic brutality Cuz if we don't got them, where will they end up In a situation where they get sent up For selling d** or possession of weapons Forcing and sending thier own mankind back to the essence Bust shots at the cops for props Low down shots, run the spots So, I'm damn near every block Making it hard to live at your residence Brothers who k** brothers for past experience Let me break it down to my point of view Designed for a white man who didn't die for you I know money is the roots of all evil And worst is the devil, it controls people It has your mind in a state, so negative That to get more, you'll even murder your relatives The drug game took a lot of my brothers And others, but all I could do was think about their mothers They can't bear that thought that their son was shot dead In the ghetto, on the ground with holes in his head All those years of chastizing, advising He really wasn't realizing and open his eyes And looking at life as a meaningfull experience And take the dreams a lot more serious Stop pleading for the opposite race Taking life for a waste and chase in space The latter of success is what we have to climb With the strong mind and yo, take your time [Chorus: "sample", Shabazz The Disciple] "Take your time, young man" Take your time, all you gotta do is just take your time "Don't you rush to get old" "Take your time, young man" Eh, yo, take your time "Don't you rush to get old" [Shabazz The Disciple] Sometiems, I just sit back and wonder What can I do to keep myself from going under In the ghetto, yo, it's hard to stay alive So I keep a strong mind and strive to survive Seems hard at times, but I guess I slipped Cuz I'm here and my mind is equipped I walk past the brothers that be dealing And a negative eye appears glady appealing They drive fancy cars tinted up with a kit How many brothers did they k** to get it They rule the streets on a temporary basis And everyday they live life at fast paces And in the end they go out and fight caucasians Peep smiles on the white mans faces You sell d**, brother, I don't have to I'd rather make fly beats I could rap to Red Hook is infested with capsules But that's one lifestyle I can't adapt to Because the living is lame, who's to blame It's damn shame, but after you're illusion to maintain And entertain, so use your brain Stop walking all around as if your brain has been drained Stop rushing to get to the top Cuz you might get shot or knocked by the cops Then you'll be sitting in the cell everyday Reminiscing about your life and how you could've got away The only way that you could've escaped Is if you wouldn't have got yourself involved in the first place But it's too damn late to think backwards Think about the sentance you're about to get slapped with So, young brothers, here's a reason to think About how the positive rise and the negative stink They'll become memories of the past The main reason's cuz they're living their lives too fast The latter of success is what we have to climb So, orcastrate line and yo, take your time [Chorus: "sample", Shabazz The Disciple] "Take your time, young man" Take your time, all you gotta do is just take your time "Don't you rush to get old" "Take your time, young man" Just take your time "Don't you rush to get old" [Shabazz The Disciple] As the world revolves, our people dissolve Create more problems not getting solved We struggle just to survive We struggle to stay alive Innocent are dead, our freedom is deprived Kinifes in fear, yo, we all under stand this Freedom, not d**h, yo, all must ammend this Your minds were diluted, heavily polluted As far as I'm concerned, we've all been excluded Took of our knowledge, but I'm here to speak it Your must love it, before you must seek it Destroy devilish snakes and never be a rebel Instead of all of us falling victim to the devil Don't let them hold you, don't let them control you Don't let no one in the negative state of mind own you Don't fall for the tricks of the 666 Cuz they first specialized in the crucifix Now is the time to strive and be wise Where we reach the horizon and we all disguising It's up to us to keep the strong mind So that the light can shine on all mankind Take surprise and in your grands, young man But hwatever you have to do, take your time Listen up boy and take your time [Chorus: "sample", Shabazz The Disciple] "Take your time, young man" "Don't you rush to get old" "Take your time, young man" Eh, yo, take your time "Don't you rush to get old" "Take your time, young man" "Don't you rush to get old"
