Statik Selektah - Take Time lyrics

[Verse 1: Termanology] Thinking 'bout my mistakes Bought a Jesus piece, diamonds poking out of his face Should have bought a big safe Life is just a big race, don't make it a big waste Trying to chick-chase, but its $600 to sip Ace She got a thick waste, then your loyalty is misplaced You chose a fatty over your family, get your sh** straight Talking how you spit great but look in your kid's face He wants a big cake, but you're worried about your mix tape A generation confused, skipped paying their dues Want to be in the shoes of a rapper with j**els Worry about your kid's school, not your YouTube views Instagram watching fools, but won't check out the news The only thing I ever lost and couldn't find was time So I hate wasting it, especially on some basic sh** Gotta admit, I love a party that's lit and a body that's thick But sometimes I'd rather sit and... [Chorus: Scratch x2] "Take time... We Should take... We should take time... We should take time and think" [Verse 2: Cane] Think about it, I linger, then ink it out While I'm sinking into the bottle, I figured I'd drink it out They tickle me pink with doubt, I supply a sink in a drought Gotta bring about change, ain't no time to sit and pout Them bigots out in a position of power Grew out a concrete rose, and they're kicking the flower The bigger the coward, the system get prouder Give them ammunition, and innocent citizen gets devoured And due to my skin, I've been given a voucher And I'm a sinner more than him, but they into the outer Another name we're singing about but No Lebron James game, chalk another king with the powder God he cowers, bodies tower by the hour Tough to hear, swelling on your ear, cauliflower Highly doubted that they'll ever understand When devils make rebels make a plan, take a stand And the media take a cam, paint it the way that they can To make it a negative brand, breaking us down to bring in the ends We're making them win when they see they can buy us Don't let them guide us through the fires, through their lens they're bias Now we're OD-ing off of preconceiving notions Even vegans beefing on us, we perceive it, they control us I blow this sh** down, get higher than falsetto What I nose grows, so I can't let them be my Geppetto N-O [Chorus]
