Where do I begin? He was nine, and I didn't
I was maybe six or seven
And my mom and me was driving
Listening to music I'd be singing all the time
Just to see my mama smile, my mama smile
She said I got talent, and she took me to auditions
But nobody paid attention
I was too young for rejection
Never too young for a passion
'Cause music kept me going
And I knew one day I would make my mama say
It takes time, it takes a little time baby
It would be fine, yeah
It takes time, baby
In my memory looked too, boy I really hated school
I was in as same as you
You just wanted to be cool
I remember when my only friend
Left me for a cooler gang
I've finally got a taste what it feels like
Being betrayed
I was fifteen when I lost my sister, she was battling cancer
Damn, I really miss her
We moved up North to start over
Little town, and I was a big girl
Then I got myself into trouble,
I was angry with the world,
My mama saying
It takes time, it takes a little time baby
It would be fine, yeah
It takes time, baby
I've lost and learned along the way
Yeah, I make mistakes
Yeah, I've felt all kinds of pains
And the reason why I'm here to stay
It's because my mama said
If things to be alright will change
It takes time, it takes a little time baby
It would be fine, yeah
It takes time, baby
It takes time, it takes a little time baby
It would be fine, yeah
It takes time, baby
