Takes Me a While

I’m the man, the man that wants it all
I’m not that original
Better men than me have tried and failed
Others wait around for miracles
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there…
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
Broken loser in a high school hall (It takes me awhile)
I never seem to have the wherewithal
My tongue is tied, my eyes locked up in jail (It takes me awhile)
Busting out just like a wrecking ball
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there…
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there…
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there…
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
I got nothing in the race
Where everybody’s just saving face
So tell me how long 'til they reach a higher place
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there…
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there…
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
It takes me a while
But I get there…
