Time Lyrics

[Produced by Thelonious Martin]

[Verse 1]
I got all the time in the world
I'mma shine on you girl, I'mma shine on you
If you ever grow tired then I'll shine for you
You don't want to see the future, I'll go blind for you
That's love, that's love
When you hate me, I still come home to a back rub
When I hate you, I still say yes when I mean no
It's me though
Couldn't buy snacks at the movies so I brought Doritos
Just for you
We came a long way since
Our first kiss went French, we planned to curfew miss
Broke up to see what we missed and then came back after all
Every kid makes that mistake like wearing shades in the mall
Or talking back to they mom, fo' she slap you in the neck
Life provides a pimp hand, it'll keep that ass in check
When I could I came correct, when you could you proved me wrong
Or I pretend that you're right, whatever helps us move on, but

[Hook]
Before I knew myself
I knew I had the time
Before you said hello
I knew that you were mine
And when I met your momma
Girl I knew that you'd be fine
We just had to give it time, yeah
We just had to give it time
We just had to give it time
Every now and then you said forever was in mind
And I swear I didn't mind, we just had to give it time

[Verse 2]
Young and stupid only take you so
Far, I mean we got to grow, I vote we take it slow, I
Know your jobs and grades important, shol' would help you study, but I
Flunked out of algebra studying money
Look I'm becoming, great
Just had to stay calm through some bad times
I found my idol's style took a while to find mine
Like when you got new hairdos but had the same mind
Internet was landline, so much was different I mean
We just pretended since we, ain't know the difference between
Love and addiction, lust and repetition
Told my myself you gotta treat dates like auditions
Guess I did well, look at Denzel
Training days that I passed with no pencil
Who'da thought seven numbers from a flip cell
Take it this far, now your mother's in law
And I bought your first diamond, pray for my credit card
I love you

[Hook]
