maybe he'll understand when he's older /
but when she called him to tell him it was over /
with that on his shoulders /
wished he could be somebody else like the end of october /
thought the westside couldn't get colder /
a dream he didn't want to wake up from, Folgers /
you wanna see love, ask any soldier /
got love for his country like we will never know of /
and this is his pledge allegiance /
if you jump off the ledge have a damn good reason /
i mean she tried to please him /
you know keep keep keep her clothes in season /
hair did, nails done looking quite nice /
still cheating his wife, got caught twice /
pastor said till death do us part /
all she want to know is why he don't he do his part /
understand that pain is temporary /
i know what you going through is kinda scary /
but it just takes time, it just takes time /
just takes time, its just takes time, just takes time time /
everything will be fine, it just takes time, just takes time, just takes time /
what happens when you don't know what happens next /
laid off from the job no more paychecks /
now things unstable like when baby first stepped /
all you want to be is happy like when baby first stepped /
and i know that you going through some problems, yes /
and you don't have an answer, at least take a guess /
can you call the cleaning lady when your life's in mess? /
really think a cigarette gonna clear that stress? /
if i could i would, i would trade you places /
ain't nothing better than seeing familiar faces /
denied the loan cause of bad credit traces /
need money for the rent and your baby girl's braces /
seem like the world crooked as her tooth is /
you want the top, other side where the roof is /
cashed out on the 401k /
might never see your retirement day /
understand that pain is temporary /
i know what you going through is kinda scary /
but it just takes time, it just takes time /
just takes time, its just takes time, just takes time time /
everything will be fine, it just takes time, just takes time, just takes time /
her mother was an angel, her father he was korean /
separated at birth, both her parents she never seen 'em /
and in the back of her mind she never stop believing /
wants to know if they loved her and why did they leave then /
she thinks about it when she's sleeping /
any other words when she's dreaming /
and maybe that's the reason she dealing with some weak men /
'cause she can't handle when real love sneaks in /
so she lives for the weekend /
like "what you doing girl, we going out this weekend" /
all in the club like "i think that might be him" /
you know mr. "can i buy you a drink then?" /
and they just friends, and it's just sex /
'cause to her a real relationship is complex /
or maybe she afraid of the concept /
once again, to get left on the doorsteps /
understand that pain is temporary /
i know what you going through is kinda scary /
but it just takes time, it just takes time /
just takes time, its just takes time, just takes time time /
everything will be fine, it just takes time, just takes time, just takes time /
just takes time, just takes time , just takes time /
just takes time time, everything will be fine /
just takes time, just takes time /
