Things Take Time

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
