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
