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 falling on my knees

No one’s taking them 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 feeling when my belly all fuzz

And ever since I caught that feeling I’ve been chasing that buzz

But I can’t find it

Aye yo, I wish I could rewind it

Like everybody feel that tingle in my spine shit

You know that feeling summing up between your eyes

I put the words together till I pick that perfect rhyming

It’s timing

People telling me, I've changed

Like I'm doing 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 like

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

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

Imma 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 fucking thing I know you couldn’t forgive

They said my son needs a father

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

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

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
