Takes Time

I know it takes time
But I'm good where I'm at, cause I'm progressing, ain't no second guessing

What make it so good, it's staying off the streets cause it's no love
And Ben, baby, take your family out the hood, just keep your head up
I know it takes time, but I'm good, one man, cause I'm progressing, ain't no second Guessing

What make it so good, it's staying off the streets cause it's no love
And Ben, baby, take your family out the hood, just keep your head up
See, nowadays I look back, I remember so vividly, next door to me
In the room, I'm a-crying, it was so sick to me

Couldn't get the bills paid, I hope we make it through the week
Years later, to this day, they really get to me
I'm the man at the house, I've been working ever since to put food in the mouth
And hoping one day I finally get a chance to make it out

I took a different route, in certain days, it was really rough, but I have never doubted
Always stay no business, but I be chilling, I just move silent
Stop the violence, but never cross that line, I can show you I can finalize it
I'd rather take a trip, see the island, flyin' in with a pilot Always gon' remain silent

I know it takes time, but I'm good, one man, cause I'm progressing, ain't no second Guessing

What make it so good, it's staying off the streets cause it's no love
And being there, be taking your family out the hood, just keep your head up
I know it takes time, but I'm good, one man, cause I'm progressing, ain't no second Guessing

What make it so good, it's staying off the streets cause it's no love
And being there, be taking your family out the hood, just keep your head up
I was hard-headed at the time, I finally understand it

Never take this life you live in all for granted
And when you got a family, all they really need is your presence

Staying tall, ain't no panic, we all make mistakes, but certain things need correcting
Sometimes we neglect, but take a chance to accept
And that is bad right now, but it'll all get better

I was told to be the bigger one and always set examples
Every situation I never run, I really had to handle
Before things got good, I watched so many people scramble
Never would've thought I'd come this far, I know they really baffled

Tryna make it to the top, but it's gon' be a real hassle, real hassle
I know it takes time, but I'm good, one man, cause I'm progressing, ain't no second Guessing

What make it so good, it's staying off the streets cause it's no love
And Ben, they be take your family out the hood, just keep your head up

I know it takes time, but I'm good, one man, cause I'm progressing, ain't no second Guessing
What make it so good, it's staying off the streets cause it's no love
And Ben, they be take your family out the hood, just keep your head up
Just keep your head up, just keep your head up
Just keep your head up
