TAKe your time
In reality of conformism and nonconformism, we are the latter. Passing the baton to the listener. I (Edy) remember a social science class in high school where a nice lady opened my eyes to those two positions one takes in society. She said something like, "Society is this living, breathing organism. The only time it makes progress is when a nonconformist decides to take a stance instead of going along with the crowd." That changed me forever.
This world is not your friend
It will squeeze you to the end
Where are you running youth
Broad is the path away from the truth
You will never keep up with your soul intact, babe
This earth spins so fast you’re dazed out of your mind
Never underestimate your attention span, babe
Technocrats will eat your body, soul and mind
Take Your Time
Take Tour Time
Take Ya Time
You’re moving too fast
Take Your Time
Take Your Time
I said you move too fast
Children play still unaware
That life will strike its blows
What are we teaching them
With our faces in our phones
Teacher said something that changed me forever
Nonconformists make this world reset its heart
Why are you following with the leader in you
Take yo mama’s Bible
And set yourself apart
Take Your Time
Take Tour Time
Take Ya Time
You’re moving too fast
Take Your Time
Take Your Time
I said you move too fast
You cannot trust those who want to do the thinking for you
Question everything is your new attitude
This world needs leaders with their eyes to the sky
Revolution came and it is not televised
Not televised
Not televised
Not televised because it happens inside
Not televised
Not televised
Because it happens in your mind
When you chose to walk away from the mainstream
Mainstream
Mainstream
(Don’t you get go, take your time)
Take your time
Take your time
Take your time
Take your time (moving too fast, uh)
Take-take-take-take yo time, come on
