KXNG Crooked
Take Time
[Intro: Joell Ortiz]
Now, they be needing reminders sometimes
Sometimes I think they don't know, Crook
It's cool, though (Woo)

[Verse 1: Joell Ortiz]
Your views are unwanted, you're soon to be haunted
For every list that you comprised without the two of us on it (Uh)
Made the words on this thing sting like a beautiful hornet
Or Gordon Sumner in the summer playing music in August
It's the dynamic duo (Woo), no cape crusaders
Just bars, layers and layers like space invaders
Too independently wealthy to partake in majors
That Hemi engine is healthy, it would wake the neighbors
If we wasn't acres apart, if it's late and it's dark
Just spend the night, you gon' get lost between a lake and a park (Haha)
Plus, breakfast private chef shit, state of the art
Pancakes, steaks and eggs, have a bagel with lox (Ha)
I know you fellas mad, I just got FAA approval for a helipad
All for pilot pens and like hella pads
My real estate portfolio ain't bad
Try and keep up with the Joneses, nah, just try and sell 'em pads (Haha)
Lyrical rappers is broke and old school's dusty
That's irrational, my grand national is chunky
The internet just gave voice to the flunkies
When it's time to defend that noise, them boys get uncomfy (What's up?)
They laptops a lap of luxury
They'll run laps around they office if I pop up on 'em suddenly (Mhm)
Whatever, though, that's that industry business
Me and Crook sowin' them seeds, 'bout to be in the tree business
At this point in my life, I'm only competin' with Guinness
Like I'm breakin' my own record for the DJs who didn't, damn
Feels good not tryna hold back nothin'
Your boy came a long way like try and hold back nothin' (Ah)
Don't live in the past, Thursday I don't throw back nothin'
'Cept sips of aged wine
While hearin' Marvin Gaye truly through the grapevine
A mid-verse break's fine, them type of lines take time
[Interlude: KXNG Crooked]
Like crow's feet around the eyes, them lines take time
Hold up, my n***a buried y'all with that shit he was just talkin'
Let's acknowledge that part first before we go any further
Okay? Okay

[Verse 2: KXNG Crooked]
Like crow's feet around the eyes, them lines take time
If they come from a lot of smilin', I wanna raise mine when they land
Even when both of my palms are wrinkled, then I got a lot time on my hands
I'ma still be the man (Uh), ridin' in a Lamb' (Uh)
The most important words are those that follow "I am"
I am healthy, I am wealthy
Nobody helped me with the odds the cards dealt me but God
Goddamn, since energy never dies, how can I let a coffin win?
Still thinkin' outside the box when they boxed me in
I ain't out here Bill Cosbyin'
You new n***as can't breathe without a pill, this the Oxy gen
I used to think it was better to hit a n***a with hollow tip
Got it together, now I'd rather hit a n***a with a scholarship
I ain't got no problems with you opps out here poppin' shit
Pull up, put your pride in your stomach after you swallow it
Acknowledge it, I don't get pressed by the fraudulent
I just get pressed when I'm droppin' shit, I'll admit
Yes, this is opulence, stress, I be blockin' it
Like a shot when it hit a chest with a vest on the top of it
Dominik's the best, got you rearrangin' your playlist
I barely hear A-list rappers display this alien language
So I'm the greatest to paint pics since that paleont cave shit
Gettin' paid 'cause it makes sense
Gettin' paid 'cause it makes sense
Gettin' paid 'cause it makes sense
[Outro]
Yeah (Uh), yeah (Uh), yeah (Uh), yeah
Yeah, uh, yeah
