Time It Took Songtext
von Kamakaze

Yo, if I think you′re hot then I'll tell you
I don′t care if you're a fan of my work
If we shake hands then it's a deal, real boy
′Cause you know I′m a man of my word
What drummers haven't I merged
What drummers haven′t I merc'ed?

Man know me, count up the waviest thing
The name on the back of my shirt
And I′ve been with my girl for a long time
So when I'm ′round tings I don't flirt
I'm at a cocktail bar on date night

Drink look like the the girl, I tassle my shirt
What drummers haven′t I merged
What drummers haven′t I merc'ed?
Open doors and then feed the mandem
Just how the kitchen cabinet works
Yeah, yeah


So let me switch the flows a bit
Underrated tag, yeah I′m over it
Connect the dots and get the dough for it
One thing I know that I got, that's ownership
Over time when you deal with loads of shit
Gotta stay real in the highs and lows of it
Over time when you deal with loads of shit
How you gonna gamble your last poker chip?
Hmm, yeah

Stick it all on red, I don′t care if it don't make sense
′Cause I'd rather make vibes instead
I've spent too much time in bed
I′m alive, I′m alive, I'm alive, I′m alive
So I know that grime ain't dead
Yeah, yeah

You don′t know 'bout the time it took
This year I′m tryna write this album
Next year I'm tryna write this book
Right now I'm tryna write this hook
What man can′t see, who′s the waviest
Just tell them, open their eyes and look
No I ain't grinding, but if you′re ridin'
Just make sure you ain′t ridin' shook


Just make sure that you ain′t no capper
Easy, no, just like family I'm on next chapter
Sustain the beat like Bangra
Cool off, me and I just make bangers
Why things that I'm doing up, jealous
I′m doing up hard work, pays off, palace
And a big up man, they finally caught my energy
So I′m fierce not baggin'

Put luggage on me like campin′
Lockdown's out and I can′t get carried
Old school, light's off, beg him
Man used to run that bar like Peggy
Can′t get married, then we'll get merry

Life's a bitch, life′s scary
Start of the year, I′m gassed up baby
I ain't tryna lose, I want that milli′s
CBD and my CD sellin'
When you see me doin′ milli', don′t bell him
Don't bother keeping it L-O-key like, uh-uh
And the return of the match from Leicester
Bringin' it back like Trayson Bigga

If not where brother, how you figure
Different when your vibe′s all bigger (yeah)
Come through and just make my mirror
Igloo, come for him, make man shiver
Feedin′ the fanbase, sportin' the figure
Keepin′ it stuck like Glue Gorilla
Are you telling me, who's real or can′t win him
I'm a demon killer

You don′t know 'bout the time it took
This year I'm tryna write this album
Next year I′m tryna write this book
Right now I′m tryna write this hook
What man can't see, who′s the waviest
Tell them, open their eyes and look
No I ain't grinding, but if you′re ridin'
Just make sure you ain′t ridin' shook

You don't know ′bout the time it took
This year I′m tryna write this album
Next year I'm tryna write this book
Right now I′m tryna write this hook
What man can't see, who′s the waviest
Tell them, open their eyes and look
No I ain't grinding, but if you′re ridin'
Just make sure you ain't ridin′ sh-

You don′t know 'bout the time it took
This year I′m tryna write this album
Next year I'm tryna write this book
Right now I′m tryna write this hook
What man can't see, who′s the waviest
Tell them, open their eyes and look
No I ain't grinding, but if you're ridin′
Just make sure you ain′t ridin' shook
