Where do I begin? It was 1993 when I was maybe six or seven And my mom and me was driving Listening to music I've been singing all the time Just to see my momma smile, my momma smile She said I got talent And she took me to auditions But nobody paid attention I was too young for rejection Never too young for a pa**ion Cause music kept me going And I knew one day I would make it And my momma said... "It takes time It takes a little time, baby It will be fine, yeah It takes time, baby" Remebering '02 Boy, I really hated school I wasn't the same as you I just wanted to be cool I remember when my only friend left me for a cooler gang I finally got a taste of what it feels like being betrayed I was fifteen when I lost my sister She was battling cancer Damn I really miss her We moved up north to start over A little time and I was a big girl And I got myself into trouble I was angry with the world My momma said... "It takes time It takes a little time, baby It will be fine, yeah It takes time, baby" I've learnt and lost along the way Yeah, I made mistakes Yeah I felt all kinds of pain And the reason why I'm here to stay Is because my momma said For things to be alright "It takes time It takes a little time, baby It will be fine, yeah It takes time, baby" "It takes time It takes a little time, baby It will be fine, yeah It takes time, baby" Takes a little time, baby [x2] Takes a little time [x2] Yeah, oh
