Suppose to Be
Oswin Benjamin Lyrics

Verse 1
Uh
God in the flow, Stepped off the boat,
And kept on the humble uh
All of this hate, and all of these promises you adjust too uh
Lost your way to find who you are
Teddy Bruckshot ya gone to far
Found myself in estates with bricks of foundation build with fake love on God eyy

I know pain like Martin name
It's finally paying off
What's the point of knowing what you know if you ain't saying some
Why the one that's lacking the foundation always make up some
Come up out your face, I'm cross your face 
Like Chris Benoit
I been way to humble y'all ain't on the shit I'm on
Hop up out my DM I ain't tryna do no songs 
I ain't tryna work
Bitch I'm unemployed
I ain't tryna link
Zelda just the ploy
Daddy been deployed
I ain't playing victim, every girl that ever said I lead her on was off for real
Kept it real and went in raw like Eddie Murphy with the red leather on for real
Vision clearer than a Huxtable and now it's off the cliff with all of y'all summer times on the rise I can't wait to see you fall for real 
For real







Hook
Uh
I just took my time with it,
I just took my time.
She told me take my time with it,
So I took my time
(Repeat)

Verse 2
If I buy it once, I afford it twice
Lucky lefty never rolled the dice
I'm living proof you can duck 12 and still be real
Word to Obie Trice uh
So influential 
Nice wit a flow so disrespectful 
But y'all
Hear the mellow tone in these instruments 
And sleep on credentials
Better check your dental when you talking to me
Fee when I speak nigga talk isn't cheap
Gotta mouth full of gold and a mind full of coal niggas die for a turn to diamonds in a week
Let a bygone be a bygone no beef
With a right arm leave the ice on your cheek
Don't sleep, 
When the lights on I'm all me
No gas, but you'll never see my tank on E 
Nigga no way
Came a long way
From the spray paint chipping off my jays in the hallway
Clowned me all day
Parked my civic in the wrong place
Shit seen more boots then a 3 train headed to the Barclays
Now I'm way way way up
Got the flame now
Pussy niggas David Blaine now
I done found the beauty in a good thing
All these bad bitches looking plain now
I ain't been feeling so out of place 
Since I got the keys to my own place
Turned them cold days into Colgate 
Learned to put smiles on my own face on God!

Hook
Uh
I just took my time with it,
I just took my time.
She told me take my time with it,




So I took my time
(Repeat)
