They keep asking for me when they hit the promise land
They been wondering where I'm at, but they don't understand
They keep looking for me everywhere the kings be at
They keep wondering where I
Been hiding my shine
They been checking for me when they cross the finish line
They been saving me a seat when it be dinner time
They keep praying that I'm safe, and I tell 'em I'm fine
They just been wondering where I been hiding my shine
I say I'm taking my time
I'm taking my time
I'm just taking my time
I'm taking my time
I'm just taking my time
I'm taking my time
I'm just taking my
I'm just taking my
I'm just taking my time

Trust me
Don't rush me
By the time I'm done, it's a must-see
The studio was all dusty
Had to scrub so much bleach
Now it's on
Now it's shots fired every song
Now I'm out here ringing the alarm
Now I'm finally hanging with the dons
Eating the prawns, keeping it calm

They know I'm a legend in the making
They know I been running outta patience
They know I should be on every station
Now I'm finally finished with the waiting
Gotta give 'em what they fucking want
Gotta take it to the very start
Apologies if it's been taking too long

They been checking for me when they cross the finish line
They been saving me a seat when it be dinner time
They keep praying that I'm safe, and I tell 'em I'm fine
They just been wondering where I been hiding my shine
I say I'm taking my time
I'm taking my time
I'm just taking my time
I'm taking my time
I'm just taking my time
I'm taking my time
I'm just taking my
I'm just taking my
I'm just taking my time

Time vines had me sidelined
I had nine lives, I was free
Oh, in my mind, it was high times
I was wide-eyed, look at me
I got by fine, sipping mai tais
I was sky-high
So was she
So we skydived, now my nine lives
Slipping by fine, now it's three

I was walking 'round in these places
They were rushing me to make moves
I was sizing up the big faces
I was punching up to pay dues
I was ready to get it and touch bases
I was growing into these shoes
Don't rush me, man, these ain't races
This life was meant to be cruised

They been checking for me when they cross the finish line
They been saving me a seat when it be dinner time
They keep praying that I'm safe, and I tell 'em I'm fine
They just been wondering where I been hiding my shine
I say I'm taking my time
I'm taking my time
I'm just taking my time
I'm taking my time
I'm just taking my time
I'm taking my time
I'm just taking my
I'm just taking my
I'm just taking my time

I'm just taking my time
I'm just taking my time
I'm just taking my time
