Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It takes time
It takes time
[Verse 2]
Man, I'm just waitin' on the reload
Take the time I need and I'ma blame it on the weed smoke
But how long before my mind just explodes?
Money on my mind, head gone, like a visit from the repo
[Verse 3]
Shit on my brain that they'd never think of
Bad bitch gettin' it and now they wanna see more
Told him that I'm busy, gotta take off
Makin' all this bread so you know that it's hard to keep the weight off
[Verse 4]
Hair laid, I'm waved, I ain't got shit to say
New wave, same shit, it's just a different day
Always busy, tell me when and, yeah, I'll clear the night
Said I'm a meal and it takes time to get this dinner right
[Verse 5]
Go ahead, call me mama
And you'd be my baby
I don't know for sure
Just how you make me
[Verse 6]
Takes time
Takes time
Takes time
If you wanna look good, girl
[Verse 7]
Oh shit, I heard you get round here a bit
I heard we got some things in common, baby, yeah, we click
But penny for your thoughts if you're thinkin' you were slick
You need to get your vetting done before you come back to the bit
[Verse 8]
But I could change your life and take you out your sitch
I love to play the game 'cause, babe, I'm reckless on the pitch
And you can do me right, baby boo, that's what they all say
Giddy up because I'm done with all the horseplay
[Verse 9]
Babe it's only right that I show you what you'll miss
Like it or love it, yeah, you know it's hit or miss
Never knew you wanted something like this, I call that cold play
Come round here and you ain't goin' back the old way
[Verse 10]
Go ahead, call me mama
And you'd be my baby
I don't know for sure
Just how you make me
[Verse 11]
Baby, I've been workin' for days
I gotta stay cool, gotta stay in the shade
It takes time
If you wanna look good, girl
[Verse 12]
Baby, I've been workin' for days
I gotta stay cool, gotta stay in the shade
It takes time
If you wanna look good, girl
[Verse 13]
Give me a ring on the telephone
And I'll come round
I know it's hard sometimes
Life can bring you down
[Verse 14]
Give me a ring on the telephone
And I'll come round
I know it's hard sometimes
Life can bring you down
[Verse 15]
If you wanna make that call
I'll be at the west side mall
Take time
If you wanna look good, girl
[Verse 16]
Babe it's only right that I show you what you'll miss
Like it or love it, yeah, you know it's hit or miss
Never knew you wanted something like this, I call that cold play
Come 'round here and you ain't going back the old way
[Verse 17]
It's about time that I'm here for you
I know that you always said let me in
I wanna be a friend to you
Give a little smile, baby, let me win
