These Things Take Time - Chaz French

I feel like I’m better off this time around

This time last year boy I was down

No cash no way no how

No love no ins no outs, yeah

Look, to the point where it was now or never

But I always knew I’d be bound to get it

If you want it bad enough let it go for a minute

Then if it come back to you it’s yours forever

Did all for mama told her that we’d see better days

She gon get that Bentley if it kill me on everything

I just want you happy not too into the finer things

You like then I love it just help out with some bills at least

Put some food in that fridge be a man to them kids

You already got two of them shit it is what it is

Expecting me to find it’s way I’m guessing that’s what he did

We back like remix so throw it back like flea-flicker cause

I know where I’ve been but I’m focused on where I’m going

I never gave in cause I know that these things take time

My story my struggle all made me who I am now

No worries no regrets cause I know that these things take time

So pop it for that nigga never quitting on his dream

Even though he got a long way to go

Be careful who you call your homies

Man everybody got motives on my mama life these niggas is old

Imagine being that nigga who made it up out the gutter

And all of a sudden your enemies your cousins and brothers

Who knew that you would succeed but it didn’t happen when they wanted to

Then you over achieve now they preaching to you be humble

But a shame on em

Claim I ain’t the same on homie

I’ll take the blame for it really I ain’t changed on em

I just outgrew you niggas you wanted just a name homie

What I got to do to prove I’m trying to I’m trying to pave a way homie

More than just a trend, just a thing, just a wave homie

But it’s tough love we can do it, we can bang homie

Toe to toe, blow for blow nigga gang, gang, gang

Homie bet I walk away big tuck not a stain on me look

I really feel for you niggas, I really fear for you niggas

When it’s bout hoes, when it’s bout shows, that’s when I hear from you niggas

When I gave clothes, when I gave food damn near real for you niggas

Risked my career for you niggas I brought my kid round you niggas

My mama’s crib with you niggas

When I broke bread with you niggas

Broke with no bread with you niggas I made it clear to you niggas

That if I got it then it’s yours and you still shit on me nigga

But knowing me through it all I’ll still be there for you niggas

Cause I’m the realest nigga ever ain’t no if, ands, or booties

Extra seasoning at Rudy’s that was back when I knew it

Wasn’t no budget from no job was really rappin for food

Awe yeah cause music saved my soul no matter what we been through

Man I done lost a couple niggas ever since we been on

But I can’t focus on the fake, gotta forgive and move on

Understand that when it’s work that certain things get prolonged

So don’t fuck up the high

Bitch don’t fuck up the zone cause

I know where I’ve been but I’m focused on where I’m going

I never gave in cause I know that these things take time

My story my struggle all made me who I am now

No worries no regrets cause I know that these things take time

These things take time

These things take time

These things take time
