Give me time, I've been doin' this alone
In due time, I'll be bringin' hope back home
And I, I'll make it all be alright, ooh

Give me time, give me time
I've been on the grind
It's only gettin' harder but I'll take it as a sign
It'll all be worth it when I make it through the climb
I'm workin' with a purpose but it's getting out of line
Those that are hatin' they be tryna take a stab
I've been through the worst, I ain't never scared of that
They will never get it, it don't matter what they say to me
I ain't here to argue, I'm just workin' for the family
Damn, there's some real life pain
Some put the work but they do not gain
Some put the worst out and do catch fame
But I'll put my best out and will not faint

Give me time, I've been doin' this alone
In due time, I'll be bringin' hope back home
And I, I'll make it all be alright, ooh

Today, you say that you got the energy
Already got the new way to come and get this bread with me
The next day, you stayed, too tired
You try to use the excuse that it's too high
My goals always seem insane till I do fly
High hopes, harder to maintain but I do try
I hope it's soon, I refuse to let you die
I hope this tune finds a room where a dude cries
It's definitely happenin', somebody hasn't had enough hope
It's really saddenin', every time you think that you're close
You're back to battlin', I'm here to tell you
To keep focused on the grind and have faith in God's timing

Give me time, I've been doin' this alone
In due time, I'll be bringin' hope back home
And I, I'll make it all be alright, ooh
