Take Your Time
Mr. Argenis Lyrics

Chasing a goal; never cared about the net gain
I have always chased my goals without worrying about what I might gain from it.

But I had to have the balls to pursue it
I needed to have the courage to pursue my goals.

Stay focused and get a kick out of it
I stay focused and enjoy the process of achieving my goals.

Save face when they all keep moving, nah
I cannot let the actions of others discourage me from pursuing my goals.

See I've fallen all before, had the ridicule
I have failed before and have been ridiculed for it.

Matter fact had it happen that habitually
Failing has become a habit for me.

But see, when you fall flat that's typical
Falling flat on my face is a common occurrence for me.

Getting up's what I had to be committed to
I must be committed to getting back up after I fall.

Win or lose, shit's moot if you didn't do it
Success or failure does not matter if you don't try.

Give a fuck if you fail but did you chase it
It doesn't matter if you fail as long as you tried to achieve your goal.

All the scrunched up paper scattered in my room
The crumpled up papers scattered in my room symbolize my failed attempts at achieving my goals.

Evidence of a dead dream, I'm the living proof
The crumpled papers are proof that some of my dreams have failed, but I am still alive and trying.

Take some time; Take some time
Take some time to reflect on your goals.

And find something to believe
Find something you believe in and pursue it.

Try not to doubt
Don't doubt yourself.

It doesn't happen overnight
Success takes time and effort.

And when you fall
Expect to fail sometimes.

Get back up again
Just keep going and never give up.

Scared to succeed but sometimes you need to leap
I am scared to succeed but I know I need to take risks to achieve my goals.

Intentions clear but still fearing what I might never be
I am clear about what I want to achieve, but I still fear I may never achieve it.

Only occasionally
Sometimes.

These thoughts are dangerous see
These negative thoughts could harm my mindset.

Need to learn to put them out and let a record breathe
I need to let go of these thoughts and begin fresh.

Pick up, pick up
Get yourself back up.

A pen or book and take a seat
Grab a pen or book and start working towards your goal.

Spit a bit over a beat, yeah the future ain’t clear but it’s definite
The future may be uncertain, but it's clear that I need to keep working towards my goals.

Won’t make shit I don’t love to stay relevant
I won't do something just to stay relevant if I don't love it.

I do my own thing yeah and won’t change
I do things my own way and I won't change for anyone.

All for a dope ring or a gold chain
I am not doing this for fame or materialistic gains.

Gotta refrain from the surface bullshit cus in the end it all just washes away
I need to avoid superficial things, as they won't matter in the long run.
