[Intro]
Where do I begin?
It was 1993 when I was maybe six or seven
And my mom and me was driving
Listening to music I've been singing all the time
Just to see my momma smile, my momma smile

[Verse 1]
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 it
And my momma said

[Chorus]
"It takes time
It takes a little time, baby
It will be fine, yeah
It takes time, baby"

[Verse 2]
Remembering '02
Boy, I really hated school
I wasn't the same as you
I just wanted to be cool
I remember when my only friend left me for a cooler gang
I finally got a taste of what it feels like being betrayed
[Verse 3]
I was fifteen when I lost my sister
She was battling cancer
Damn I really miss her
We moved up north to start over
A little town and I was a big girl
And I got myself into trouble
I was angry with the world
My momma said

[Chorus]
"It takes time
It takes a little time, baby
It will be fine, yeah
It takes time, baby"

[Bridge]
I've learnt and lost along the way
Yeah, I made mistakes
Yeah I felt all kinds of pain
And the reason why I'm here to stay
Is because my momma said
For things to be alright

[Chorus]
"It takes time
It takes a little time, baby
It will be fine, yeah
It takes time, baby
It takes time
It takes a little time, baby
It will be fine, yeah
It takes time, baby"
[Outro]
Takes a little time, baby
Takes a little time, baby
Takes a little time
Takes a little time
Yeah, oh
