Bm
You twist & you turn
You got the urge to burn
          Em
The government should really be
the least of your concern
    Bm
The privilege to do is what you earn
          Em
To be yourself & free yourself is what
I've come to learn
           Bm
No more political dreams or elusive schemes
   Em
A reeferlution outbreak is what it seems
Bm
Gimme consent, yes to vape or steam
Em
Burn to redeem

                      Bm
I've been playing too hard for way too long
            Em
Burning the candle at both ends & now it's gone
       Bm
I feel broken
Busted-open
   Em
I thought I was a baller but my body has spoken
Bm
No joke, we go for the glory
         Em
But I'll probably have another
'fore I finish this story
Bm
And one more inside of me
             Em
Then both my body & my mind, don't need apologies

Gmaj7             Bm            Em
Well, who's sorry? I'm not sorry (Who's sorry?
I'm not sorry)
Gmaj7       Bm            Em
Who's sorry? I'm not sorry (I'm not sorry)

Chorus:
                            Bm
I guess It's time to take a time
                               Em
Time, time, time to take a time out (Time out)
                   Bm
Slow down & take-a time
                               Em
Time, time, time to take a time out (Time out)

I've been working overtime for way too long
I gave it everything I had till all emotion was gone
And now I'm hoping (Hoping) to move along
Away from any voice that makes me think I am wrong
I need focus
No hocus pocus
I'm gonna throw my phone in the ocean

Who's sorry? I'm not sorry (Who's sorry?
I'm not sorry)
Who's sorry? I'm not sorry (I'm not sorry)

Chorus:
                            Bm
Because it's time to take a time
                            Em
Time, time, time to take a time out (Time out)
                  Bm
Lay down & take-a time
                            Em
Time, time, time to take a time out (Time out)
                    Bm
It's time to take a time
                            Em
Time, time, time to take a time out (Time out)
            Bm
4:20 is the time
                            Em
Time, time, time to take a time out (Time out)

           G
Out of respect-a
I request-a
        Bm
That we take a little time to siesta
         F#
Save the drama
For your mama
        Bm              D
'Cause this ain't Broadway
        G
I'll remind ya
I require
            Bm
Time to re-stoke proverbial fire
      F#
And retire
A la playa
                  Em       F#
Because life is a beach anyway

              Bm
I'm taking it easy (Taking it easy)
               Em
I'm taking it slow (Taking it slow)
                      Bm
You bet I'm taking it easy (Taking it easy)
              Em
I'm taking it slow

Bm
Tick a tick a tock a dis is no time to rock
Em
Tick a tick a tock a this a must Spliff-a-clock
Bm
Excuse me while I light mi likkle ting upon the dock
Em
Time fi mi self ah man a mi nuh need nuh flock
Bm
Undivided & provided by mi brethren 'round the block
     Em
The sky-grade a my-grade, it loud like a Glock
Bm
Sticky like a sitten whey dem have inna the stock
Em
Time to meditate a mi seh time to get knock
Bm
Are you medicated & the answer is yes
     Em
Too bless to be stressed & even when mi penny less
Bm
Mi nuh worry none at all a chaos mi nuh digest
Em
Light another one & circumnavigate the stress
Bm
Sorry everybody but mi haffi confess
Em
Product of the ghetto now mi living in the west
Bm
Mi nuh hesitate when mi burning the best
N.C.
Mi nuh hesitate when mi burning the best

Chorus:
It's time to take a time
Time, time, time, to take a time out (Time out)
Slow down and take a time
Time, time, time to take a time out (Time out)
Take a time
Time, time, time, time to take a time out (Time out)
Slow down & take a time
Time, time, time to take a time out
