Take My Time
e-dubble. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Better catch me before I swerve off
Know some niggas wanted beef
They wasn't out here in the streets
They only talk about shit they heard of
Had to focus in on me
Cause you know out here how it be
They never loved me like you do
So just keep playing it cool
You can do what you do when you move how I move
I won't ever let them snake me how I move
If you wonder why i'm staying with this tool
My lil brudda want a big check
Other brudda doing time
And he tells me all the time
He wonder why I still ain't rich yet
All I want to do is shine
And all I ever did was grind
Cause I know
I know
I won't lie
I know we want everything
It takes time
I know
I realized
How could you want everything but hate trying
I never let them play me like no fool
And my bruddas know i'm with it I go crazy with this tool
Don't approach me like you crazy I ain't playing we gonna shoot
If we catch the opposition we gonna raise a nigga roof
I ain't playing with them dudes
I wasn't tripping they act different I got in my bag
I know what's different I lost feeling I ain't ever had
I know you mad and I know them niggas upset
But I ain't tripping that's them niggas we don't fuck with
My lil brudda want a big check
Other brudda doing time
And he tells me all the time
He wonder why I still ain't rich yet
All I want to do is shine
And all I ever did was grind
Cause I know
I know
I won't lie
I know we want everything
It takes time
I know
I realized
How could you want everything but hate trying
Other brudda doing time
And he tells me all the time
He wonder why I still ain't rich yet
How could you want everything
But hate trying
I won't lie
I know we want everything it takes time
All I want to do is shine
My lil brudda want a big check
Other brudda doing time
And he tells me all the time
He wonder why I still ain't rich yet
All I want to do is shine
And all I ever did was grind
Cause I know
I know
I won't lie
I know we want everything
It takes time
I know




I realized
How could you want everything but hate trying

Well I'm taking my time, I'm just moving along
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
It's just outside of your front door-

[Intro]
They wanna rush in, cause a stampede
No handles, flying like a banshee
They use cheat codes, but we don't cheat though
No cliff notes homie we don't need those

[Bridge]
Well I'm taking my time, I'm just moving along
Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just moving along
Well I'm taking my time, I'm just moving along
Well I'm

[Verse 1]
Come on, come on, come on, come on and just
Take the high road, I'm trying to fly though
Wanna touch the sky, but still lie low
Never watered down even with the hydro
Vaporize the hate so I don't have to keep my eyes low
Hit Oslo, get it in in Norway
Cleanse palates with a callous man's sorbet
Doorways open up, yup more cake
Soon enough the sweet turns sour more court dates
We burn it down though, and just live it up
It sucks ass when they ask about a living trust
I don't have one, 'cause I don't have shit
And when I do I'm probably gonna just stash it
It takes time for the interest to make cents
It makes sense for the linguists to invest
I've been blessed with a brain and some rhythm
Those hares too square I'm the tortoise and I'll win it, come on

[Hook]
Well I'm taking my time, I'm just moving along
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
It's just outside of your front door-

[Verse 2]
Get on the plane but
No carry ons but we carry hope
No politics but y'all should prolly vote
Don't involve me I live for the stereo
Right side, left side, middle path adios
No label when you living independent
Rent is too damn high for my pension
Like the lottery the way it just rubs off
Opposite of Jimmy McMillan I take the gloves off
And take some cheap shots, fighting for the beat box
I'm throwing down harder than the dude who beat Brock
I'm more able though, but still murderous
On the beat at least I'm bleeding the encouragement
Living like a rebel all intents and purposes
Practically a rapper who's broke but still virtuous
At least I hope so, y'all can be the judge of that
I know you're on a special team so just run it back

[Hook]
Well I'm taking my time, I'm just moving along
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
It's just outside of your front door-
Well I'm taking my time, I'm just moving along
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
It's just outside of your front door-

[E-Dub's Rambles]
