Giveon - When It's All Said And Done... Take Time Album Lyrics

[Giveon's Mom:]
Giveon
I don't know if it was fireworks or gunshots, but the birds is in the air

[Giveon:]
She just let me know
Where they show no fear
It ain't safe 'round here
But she still gonna hold on
It ain't safe 'round here
But she doesn't run from right here
Lust, guns, drugs, violence
Lust, guns, drugs, violence, ooh

Oh, won't let you go, go, go (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Won't let you go, go, go (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Go, oh-oh, ooh (Ooh)

Your mama warned you 'bout 562
To tell you the truth, she ain't lyin' to you
Baby, you said you ain't scared
Oh, girl, I love how you care
I'll put your love on a pedestal (Pedestal)
Whatever you want I'ma get it for you (Get it for you)
Hop in the whip, we can go skrrt
Show you the city that made me like this
Ooh, ooh, ooh, made me like this
Ooh, ooh, ooh, made me who I am
Say, ooh, ooh, ooh, 24th street
Ooh, ooh, ooh, made me who I am

See, your mom told you about this side
It can get ugly
I'm just a boy from the east side
Do you love me?
Your mom told you about this side
It can get ugly
I'm just a boy from the east side, oh, no

[Giveon's Mom (Giveon):]
I don't know if it was fireworks or gunshots but the birds is in the air (Oh, won't let you go-go-go)
So don't come over here (Won't let you, oh, I won't let you go)
Hit me up and let me know you're safe and be safe
Why I always gotta call you a million times 'fore you call me back, son? (Oh, oh)
Anyway, call me back, I love you, bye (Won't let you go baby, yeah)

[Outro:]
Oh, won't let you go, go, go
Won't let you go, go, go
Go, oh, ooh
Pray and live your life, pray and live your life
Pray and live your life
Pray and live your life, pray and live your life
Pray and live your life
Pray and live your life, pray and live your life
Pray and live your life

Are you on your way?
Are you comin' soon to me?
No parking in LA
So I'ma send a Uber to your place
Is my secret safe?
Safe with just you and me
We can't leave a trace
This is my favorite mistake

Oh, look in my eyes
Can you find the lies? Do you feel alive?
Look in my eyes
Do you mind the lies? Do you feel alive?
Look in my eyes

We both know it's wrong but you're still comin' over
Even when you're gone the feelin' just grow stronger
Should leave it alone but you're still gettin' closer
We both know it's wrong, can't keep this for long
While it's going on, I'll put it in a song

Are you on your way? Are you comin' soon to me?
I'm gettin' impatient, look at what you do to me
Our secret's safe so you're my favorite mistake
That's why we gotta keep it on the low
Girl at home but she don't need to know
What's going on, it won't be on for long, no

Oh, look in my eyes
Can you find the lies? Do you feel alive?
Look in my eyes
Do you mind the lies? Do you feel alive?
Look in my eyes

We both know it's wrong but you're still comin' over
Even when you're gone the feelin' just grow stronger
Should leave it alone but you're still gettin' closer
We both know it's wrong, can't keep this for long
While it's going on, I'll put it in a song

Oh, won't let you go, go, go (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Won't let you go, go, go (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Go, oh-oh, ooh (Ooh)

Sometimes I wish you knew
But I disguise the truth
I say I'm happy but I'm still stuck on us, mmm, mmm, mmm
Does your mind play this game too?
Think 'bout me and you
I guess I'll just pretend
Until it all makes sense, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

See you face to face, I'm thinking 'bout the days we used to be
But I can't make a scene, but I can't make a scene
See you face to face, I'm thinking 'bout the days we used to be
But I can't make a scene, but I can't make it seem

Like I want you
You
Even if it's true
Even if it's true

I guess it's overdue
Tell me your point of view
Tell me, am I to blame?
You're so good with change, hmm, mmm, mmm
A table set for two
You got me waitin' but you ain't comin' through
Try to stay patient but gotta face the truth, mmm, mmm, mmm
Whoa, whoa

See you face to face (see you face to face)
I'm thinkin' 'bout the days we used to be (thinkin' 'bout the days)
But I can't make a scene (no, I can't make a scene)
But I can't make a scene (no, no, no, no)
See you face to face (see you face)
I'm thinking 'bout the days we used to be (oh, oh)
But I can't make a scene (no, no, no, no, no, no)
But I can't make it seem

Like I want you
You
Even if it's true (even if it's true)
(You, babe)
Even if it's true

There's no reason to believe I'll save us now
But if you really love me, say it now
Why is it so hard to figure out?
I need you every day, believe me when I say it

Like I want you
You
Even if it's true
Even if it's true

[Giveon's Mom:]

Not proud I called your for the fifth time

Try my hardest for this shit
But you, you don't give like me so I
So I'ma make this promise here
I promise I'm the best you'll get, oh, oh

So, y'all done for real?
Ah, that, that's, that's over real quick
That's what you said last time
Nah, seriously, nah, I mean

But, I'ma be good when it's all said and done

Are you serious?
Are you kiddin' me?
What's the deal?
Oh no, no (yeah)
This the one you talking 'bout that's supposed to take my place
Damn, is this for real? (hmm, hmm)
It's almost disrespectful

That's a downgrade and you know it
Still your best, me
Still your best, me

When you wanna come back? (yeah)
I lay you back on your back and do you just like that
Missed the way that I grabbed (yeah)
Your body knows me, yes
I'm still your best, best, best

I don't want your heart (heart)
Maybe once before ('fore)

Up in your room once again, tempted
Bad for me, it's the truth, but I can't miss this
Don't tell my friends that I'm here to visit
Don't tell my friends that I'm here, mmm-mmm-mmm, yeah

Waiting for you, even how you treat me
You're my baby even when you leave me
Maybe I'm the one to blame
Maybe I'm the cause of the pain
Waiting for you, even how you treat me
You're my baby even when you leave me
Maybe I'm the problem and the one that's causing all of this

I can't say I love you no more (more)
'Cause my friends gon' judge me for sure (sure)
It took some time but I realized
You do me wrong but it feels right
I can't say I love you no more (more)
'Cause my friends gon' judge me for sure (sure)
It took some time but I realized
You do me wrong but it feels right
Feels like I'm stuck on you
(More)
(Sure)
Ooh-ooh (more)
Ooh-ooh, ooh (sure)

Trust me, I do understand, this is
Bad for me, I'm a fool but I can't end it
Far from love, but I'm stuck
Staying while you kiss me, saying that you miss me
Hate it when you tempt me (oh)

Waiting for you, even how you treat me
You're my baby even when you leave me
Maybe I'm the one to blame
Maybe I'm the cause of the pain
Waiting for you, even how you treat me
You're my baby even when you leave me
Maybe I'm the problem and the one that's causing all of this

Feels like I'm stuck on you

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Wait
If this what you want, baby, okay
Okay, yeah
You don't say
Say what you want and now it's too late

'Cause you're right outside ('side), let you up (up)
Lay you down (down), it's just us (us)
He lost your touch, all to me, all to me

Oh, he still don't make you feel beautiful
I know, but I do, just know I got you
He still don't even give you enough
It's true, in my room, I ain't gon' stop you
Oh, he still don't make you feel beautiful
I know, but I do, just know I got you
He still don't even give you enough
It's true, in my room, I ain't gon' stop you

Wait
If this what you want, baby, okay
He give you his all but you have no patience (patience, patience)
You made the call so I ain't complainin'
Back on your wave
Wait, oh, oh-oh, you can't do it anymore
I understand just where he went wrong
So I got your hands where they don't belong (where they don't belong)
I do what he can't, so now you're

By my side (side), let's not rush (rush)
Lay you down (down), it's just us (us)
He lost your touch, all to me, all to me (all to me)

Oh, he still don't make you feel beautiful
I know, but I do, just know I got you
He still don't even give you enough
It's true, in my room, I ain't gon' stop you
Oh, he still don't make you feel beautiful
