Chris Patrick - TAKE TIME FOR MYSELF Lyrics

I use to wanna save the world
Till i realized savin the world
Don't do much for a nigga

At the end of the day
I could die for the cause
Folk still won't f*ck with a nigga

I seen it real time
Both eyes during my deal signed

Transformations,
Cancellations,
Amputations

Antics taking over
Damage made
Run rampant round my soldiers

Pray to God salvation find its way
Salvation never found
Instead of me plotting course for project 3
My land lord is taking me trial
Hide what i been thru behind every grin
Perfected the way of faking smiles
Accepted the weight of fate for now
The lessons created break me down

To my core
To the bone
At the edge

I'm at war
With my dawgs
Over bread

Seen enough for a lifetime
Clean cut on my life line

I really believe paranoia creeping around
I really wan be so much more for those around
But right now i need to take time for myself

Think bout just myself
Can't give who i am away
Till i save myself

Take time for myself
Break way from this hell
Can't give who i am way


I use to wanna save the world
Till i realize saving the world
Don't do much for a nigga

Cursed out by the folk
I done fell out with
Tryna fix what's been done to my niggas

Martyrdom don't do shit
But it get ya harassed and faded
Outcome be attacked and hated
Balcony assassination
Malcolm seen it
Martin seen it
Hampton seen it too

Dampened dreams encamped inside the crew

Insecurity led to insurrection

CXR had broken into 2

This niggas who hate vs niggas who chase progression

It's easy as that
The scapegoat for all the grievances
Greasy shit sent through to my phone
When i needed to chat
Aint had much peace since i seen us detach

I know the truth bout it all
Greed was the root of the problem
Nobody left here to solve
Cuz threw me out to the dawgs

But i bite back,
Mike Vick way I fight back
A bundle of dread
On head, like locs in nights cap
Backed away to strive for isolation
On find my friends im hiding my location
If i offend, apologies for sure
Extend my hand and watch as i get burned
I realized only thing that i done learned
Is to take time for myself

Think bout just myself
Can't give who i am away
Till i save myself

Take time for myself
Break way from this hell
Can't give who i am way
