Chris Patrick Take Time For Myself Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to want to save the world 'till I realized saving 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
Transformation, cancellations, amputation
Antics taking over
Damage made
Run rampant round my soldiers
Pray to god salvation find it's way
Salvation never found
Instead of me plotting course for project three
My landlord taking me to trial
Hide what I been through behind every grin
Perfected the way of faking smiles
Accepted the weight of fate and now
The lessons created break me down
To my core
To my bone
At the edge
I'm at war with my dogs
Over bread
Seen enough for a lifetime
Clean cut on my lifeline
I really believe paranoia creeping around
I really want to be so much more for those around but right now I need to
[Chorus]
Take time for myself
Think about just myself
Can't give who I am away until I see myself
Take time for myself
Break away from this hell
Can't give who I am away

[Verse 2]
I used to want to save the world 'till I realized saving the world don't do much for a nigga
Cursed out by the folk I done fell out with
I'm trying to fix what's been done to my niggas
Martyrdom don't do shit but it gets you harassed and faded Outcome: Be attacked and hated
Balcony assassination
Martin seen it
Malcolm seen it
Hampton seen it too
Dampened dreams encamped inside my crew
Insecurity led to insurrection
CXR had broken into two
The niggas who hate vs. niggas who chase progression
Look
It's as easy as that
Scape goat for all the grievances
Greasy shit sent to my phone when I needed to chat
Ain't had much peace since I seen us detach
[Refrain]
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 dogs

[Verse 3]
But I bite back
Mike Vick 'way I fight back
A bundle of dread on head like locs in nightcaps
Backed away to strive for isolation
On find my friends I'm 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

[Chorus]
Take time for myself
Think about just myself
Can't give who I am away until I see myself
Take time for myself
Break away from this hell
Can't give who I am away

[Outro]
An umbrella can keep you dry when it starts to pour
But it's a struggle to get it closed and into the do-
I wanna do that thing like
I wanna make you scream
I wanna make you come alive
I-
