Take Time For Myself

[Verse 1]

I used to want to save the world 'till I realized saving the world don't do much for a nigga

At the end of the day I could die for the cause, folk still won't fuck with a nigga

I seen it real time

Both eyes during my deal signed

Transformation, cancellations, amputation

Antics taking over

Damage made

Run rampant round my soldiers

Pray to god salvation find it's way

Salvation never found

Instead of me plotting course for project three

My landlord taking me to trial

Hide what I been through behind every grin

Perfected the way of faking smiles

Accepted the weight of fate and now

The lessons created break me down

To my core

To my bone

At the edge

I'm at war with my dogs

Over bread

Seen enough for a lifetime

Clean cut on my lifeline

I really believe paranoia creeping around

I really want to be so much more for those around but right now I need to

[Chorus]

Take time for myself

Think about just myself

Can't give who I am away until I see myself

Take time for myself

Break away from this hell

Can't give who I am away

[Verse 2]

I used to want to save the world 'till I realized saving the world don't do much for a nigga

Cursed out by the folk I done fell out with

I'm trying to fix what's been done to my niggas

Martyrdom don't do shit but it gets you harassed and faded

Outcome: Be attacked and hated

Balcony assassination

Martin seen it

Malcolm seen it

Hampton seen it too

Dampened dreams encamped inside my crew

Insecurity led to insurrection

CXR had broken into two

The niggas who hate vs. niggas who chase progression

Look

It's as easy as that

Scape goat for all the grievances

Greasy shit sent to my phone when I needed to chat

Ain't had much peace since I seen us detach

[Refrain]

I know the truth 'bout it all

Greed was the root of the problem

Nobody left here to solve

Cuz threw me out to the dogs

[Verse 3]

But I bite back

Mike Vick 'way I fight back

A bundle of dread on head like locs in nightcaps

Backed away to strive for isolation

On find my friends I'm hiding my location

If I offend, apologies for sure

Extend my hand and watch as I get burned

I realized only thing that I done learned is to

[Chorus]

Take time for myself

Think about just myself

Can't give who I am away until I see myself

Take time for myself

Break away from this hell

Can't give who I am away

[Outro]

An umbrella can keep you dry when it starts to pour

But it's a struggle to get it closed and into the do-

I wanna do that thing like

I wanna make you scream

I wanna make you come alive

I-
