Lyrics
A ha ha-ha-ha
A ha ha-ha-ha
A ha ha-ha-ha
A ha ha-ha-ha

Just stop takin me for a ride
(c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
All I wanna do is take my time
(take your time baby, take your time baby, c’mon)
Just stop takin me for a ride
(A ha ha-ha-ha, A ha ha-ha-ha)
All I wanna do is take my time..

I’mma stand up for art express, do mic test rehearsals
Eight years of man livin', ain’t no edits or commercials
Flick the God like mummy, but my own want a debit
Tossin facts and how they axis don’t, spin on a limit
Ain’t no need to dwell, to health I’m fakin your jax
Ride niggas get to sittin' to rear, so play the Parks of Rosa
Suppose I have my whole life on it
Funny how those you love love the evil they do
I brew the medicine to heal, a bit of verbals we had
But your ideas of heal, is left the surface of it scabbed
Navigations nearly took me on some cruise type expense
Dispensing me some shitty canal, I took the juice
Because I’m used to one-ways, detours and destinations
Of ways in life, I pretends the knife
Stuck in my spine’ll be a symbol, how jack can be nimble
But it’s time to make that foggy vision crystal
We gots to get the crystal right?

Just stop takin me for a ride
All I wanna do is take my time
Just stop takin me for a ride
All I wanna do is take my time (take my time)

Well I don’t wanna go that far
To sell my soul, I ain’t gonna go that far
I’m takin minds and hearts beyond the shining star
Raw dick, honey I don’t wanna go that far
So listen why you risking your mentality against mine?
Sick of leading love
Sick of leading love, leaving love loudfaced
In the vehicle of mine
Them wanna do awards, be nine ninety-nine, watch em
Profile the true fall out for so-called friends
Like mercury and water, we just don’t blend
I end the game technically, you wanna stop me
True gems show affection like Jody Watley, so..

Just stop takin me for a ride
All I wanna do is take my time
Just stop takin me for a ride
All I wanna do is take my

Take my, take my time
Take my
Take my, take my time
Take my (but I don’t wanna go that far)

I recall kissing on my lady, talking ‘bout making babies
Now we made the baby, but cannot connect as legal spouses
Now me and my daughter reside in different houses
What louses up the structure, is leaving things up to
The child lesser, than a child runnin wild from mild pressure
Mega (mega) nega (nega)tive
To live a master plan when that plan has no master
You stare at false tongues, leadin the youngin to disaster
Postures of this world is seen as mad crooked
Want your manhood, but man, your dad took it
We used to swallow 40s and a whole lot of pride
Nice mc’s be frontin on some whole other vibe
Just because them albums are sealed, doesn’t mean
Them lyrics are untampered with, let’s kill the myth
That as MC’s we know it all, we all children still
No tricks for ninety-six, it’s due time we build man

Just stop takin me for a ride..
(Yes, stop gassin me, stop gassin me)
All I wanna do is take my time..
(All we want to deal, is reality)
Just stop takin me for a ride..
(Stop gassin me, stop gassin me)
Cause all I wanna do is take my time..
(Take my time, take my time, c’mon)

I been on the streets for about..a little over two years (right), uh occasionally I mean I’ve had uh ya know high- some nice moments, ya know, where I thought I might get somewhere (right) but then something else, something other occurs and I get sidetracked (right) and then some days it’s just, it’s just like uh you can go two-I can go two three days, at a time, before I start thinking again optimistically or whatever because things just happen, I don’t-I don’t make any money uh panhandling or something like that, or hardly any money. I don’t get a, ya know, a whole lot of good food to eat for a couple days or something like that or anything even halfway decent. I mean it’s not so much uh people hitting on ya or something like that cause there hasn’t been a whole lot of that, but it’s just cause more depressing and depressing as you go on (right) and you ss-even, I even start thinking uh - not a hallucination actually, not a visual or an auditory but it’s just sorta like mental-mentally depressing, like I’m in a dark fantasy where I even starting thinking about that I want to do this to myself, and it, ya know, just just really bad depression, ya know somedays. Stakes Is High.
