Take My Time Lyrics by J.Lately

The Campfire EP

2020

[Verse 1: J.Lately]
Don't buy no shoes that I'll trip if I put a scuff in it
Don't like to use the word love if I'm not in love with it
Don't gotta be on my (whew) if you don't like sucking it
Don't like to twist on your arm, I'll keep my distance and charm Probably better sharing feelings than fixing cars and shit
I'm bad at making new friends than the ones I started with
I'm tired of fucking with strangers at every bar we hit
They try to tell you that's life but it's just a part of it all
They only see our nights, they rarely see our mornings
I've been staring at the ceiling rather be out touring
I've been known to give it all whenever we out for it
Even when the fucking rain gotta be out pouring
I should be out more and I should learn my lessons
Never good at placing blame think I deserve my stress and
Never good at pretending that I was good at shit nah
I'm bad at lying sometimes I wish I was good at it all

[Hook: J.Lately]
But you can bet that I'ma take my time
Want a problem wouldn't make my day
Oh what a world if they would all just leave
Lock the door and let the daylight stay
You can bet that I'ma take my time
Want a problem wouldn't make my day
Oh what a world if they would all just leave
Lock the door and let the daylight stay

[Verse 2: Ian Kelly]
In my life I take 60 hours and turn them to 60 seconds
Don't ever start guessing the way my blessing work
J, tell them lately ain't worried bout expectations
Like Mrs. Jackson, still so nasty with rhythm nation
These verses, reflections from scriptures off revelations (church)
All my future women resemble Sanaa Lathan (work)
Speak it to existence the world is all for the taking
It just take a little time big dreams and bold statements
I, just keep it moving while ducking these loan payments
I be high off life playing cards and smoking aces
Boy you cutting up like cutting decks in the basement
Percy Miller told me wasn't no limits I got them shaking
Should have been a doctor I'm always working on patience
(Me) I'm just pacing like Reggie against the Lakers
(We) Add all the numbers like being stuck in The Matrix
Or maybe I'm just me I should say less
