about time lyrics

listen to 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 learnt some patience just to give it to him yeah my brother gave me a hug for 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 yo i wish i could rewind it like everybody feel that tingle in my spine **** 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 **** 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 it’s about time that i learnt my lesson it’s about time that i burnt my skin it’s about 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 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 **** where you live and here i am
i take another **** in my crib say another ******* 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 it’s about time that i learnt my lesson it’s about time that i burnt my skin it’s about time that i learnt some patience just to give it to him just to give it to him
