Give me some time
Give me some time
Give me some time
Give me some time
Smooth criminal shit
The only difference
Is I don't leave no witnesses
Fell in love with my bitch
You don't really see me much, that's who I kick it with
Living our lives through emojis
Material lifestyle winning but emotionally you don't ever see trophies
That's why niggas OD
I've been learning a lot these days, thinking about all the shit I did
You know I'm tryna change my ways
I'm a simple man, forgive me
And I've been going through a phase
There's light at the end of the tunnel
I know for sure we'll see better days
Life gave me limes, I made lemonade
They asking me how my life right now?
But my life's been great, been busy tryna navigate
Had to keep my mental straight through these ups and downs
What you're hearing is a brand new slate
Took some time away to reinvent myself
Find new ways to project my thoughts
And the different ideologies that I keep within me
I'm talking deep within me
Give me some time
Give me some time
Give me some time
Give me some time
Give me some time
Give me some time
Give me some time
Give me some time
Give me some time
Give me some time
Give me some time
Give me some time
Give me some time
I'll show you where I'm at right now
From the baseline grind
To the packed-out crowds
D1 lights but my mind was all in the dark
Had a queen in my corner
Thought she'd ride from the start
Lost my heart, lost my hunger
Had me lost in the fourth
Still laced up
Put all my pain on the court
Tears on the hardwood
Sweating all with the drills
Channelled all that hurt
And turning all into skill
Now I'm bigger, now I'm stronger
No distractions in my lane
Focused on the basket, no pain, no gain
Learned to channel every scar
Every L that I took
Turned heartbreak to hunger
Now I got them shook
I was down on the bench
With my mind in the past
Now I'm running up the scores
Leaving doubts in the trash
Every shot, every rep, man
It sharpened my grind
You'll see what I'm becoming
Just give me some time
"Your call has been forwarded
To an automated voice message system
At the tone please record your message"
"Ntukwa, I've been calling you and calling you
And you haven't been getting back to me
And I'm getting kind of concerned, you know
And I know, like, you're quite busy
And you're on your grind and everything, but
I just want to know if you're okay, man
Like, are you
Are you eating? Are you sleeping?
You know? Are you okay?
Like, are you really okay?
Get back to me
Soon!"
