LYRICS

It's about time that I learnt my lesson
It's about time that I burnt my skin (It's about time that I burnt my skin)
It's about time that I learnt some patience (Ain't it 'bout time that I learnt some patience?)
Just to give it to him
Yeah, my brother gave me a hug
Before a minute felt the safety of love
I never been the type to pray to above
But now I'm fallin' on my knees, no one's takin' 'em 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 feelin' when my belly all fuzz
And evеr since I caught that feelin' I've been chasin' that buzz
But I can't find it, ayo, I wish I could rewind it
Likе everybody, feel that tingle in my spine shit
You know that feelin' summin' up between your eyes
I put the words together 'til I pick that perfect rhymin'
It's timin', people tellin' me I changed
Like I'm doin' all this shit 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, I, yeah

It's about time that I learnt my lesson (It's about time that I learnt my lesson, yeah)
It's about time that I burnt my skin (It's about time that I burnt my skin)
It's about time that I learnt some patience (Ain't it 'bout time that I learnt some patience? Yeah)
Just to give it to him, just to give it to him, yeah

Don't tell me that you wouldn't do the same ('Cause you would)
If you had a chance to make a name
If you saw the beauty in the pain
I'm 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 shit where you live
And here I am, I take another shit in my crib
Say another fuckin' thing I know you couldn't forgive
They said my son needs a father, haha
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, like, yeah

It's about time that I learnt my lesson (It's about time that I learnt my lesson)
It's about time that I burnt my skin (It's about time that I burnt my skin)
It's about time that I learnt some patience (It's about time that I learnt some patience, ay)
Just to give it to him, just to give it to him
It's about time that I learnt my lesson (It's about time that I learnt my lesson)
It's about time that I burnt my skin (It's about time that I burnt my skin)
It's about time that I learnt some patience (Ain't it 'bout time that I learnt some patience?)
Just to give it to him, just to give it to him

(Are you finished?) Yeah
I'm finished (Daddy, put them down)
Okay, you want a go? (I wanna go home)
Wanna go home?
