Loyle Carner 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
Before 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 evеrybody feel that tingle in my spine shit
You know that feeling summing up between your еyes
I put the words together till I pick that perfect rhyming
It's timing
People telling me I've changed
Like I doing 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
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 (‘cause you would)
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 shit where you live
And here I am
I take another shit in my crib
Say another f..cking 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
