Things Take Time - Jahmiel

Envy her

When mi buy mi madda house

Mi nuh waan' nobody envy her

Far mi a come from

My sufferation real, mi a nuh story tella

Nuff time mi go days without meal

My madda a nuh bank tella

Rat cyaan do without cheese

Mman cyaan do without cheddar

Dem nuh know yuh when yuh broke, but when yuh up

Hear dem, «yo bredda!»

Long time man a suffer but things take time

Time, time, time, time

Eyes on the money, family deh 'pon mi mind

Mind, mind, mind, mind

It mess up fi see yuh work so hard

And dem nuh waan' see yuh shine, see yuh shine

But mi have mi guards up and mi nuh drop mine

Mine, mine, mine, mine

Rafael we haffi smart inna di road,

Nuff a dem waan' fi stop yuh heart inna di road

Man will smile and man will laugh inna di road

And then dem fulla negative thoughts inna the dome

Nuh mek dem trick mi fi kill me

Pray to the Kings of Kings fi di victory

Believe it or not, Ripley

Life ain’t all fun, Disney

Enough mi learn, enough mi learn

If dem a try hold mi back, den I must mi turn

Left the yard mi know mi must return

Jah guide mi, mi have nuff fi earn

Long time man a suffer but things take time

Time, time, time, time

Eyes on the money, family deh 'pon mi mind

Mind, mind, mind, mind

It mess up fi see yuh work so hard

And dem nuh waan' see yuh shine, see yuh shine

But mi have mi guards up and mi nuh drop mine

Mine, mine, mine, mine

When mi buy mi madda house

Mi nuh waan' nobody envy her

Far mi a come from

My sufferation real, mi a nuh story tella

Nuff time mi go days without meal

My madda a nuh bank tella

Rat cyaan do without cheese

Mman cyaan do without cheddar

Dem nuh know yuh when yuh broke, but when yuh up

Hear dem, «yo bredda!»

Long time man a suffer but things take time

Time, time, time, time

Eyes on the money, family deh 'pon mi mind

Mind, mind, mind, mind

It mess up fi see yuh work so hard

And dem nuh waan' see yuh shine, see yuh shine

But mi have mi guards up and mi nuh drop mine

Mine, mine, mine, mine
