[Pete Rock]
 Zone out now  one two  yo
 This goes out to all coasts
 East coast  West coast
 And all across the nation  worldwide
 Know what I mean? Relax  kick your feet up
 Spark one  let me show you how it's done
 Blow lady

 [Jane Eugene]
 Sunrise  starts the day
 Lay back  ease your pain
 Don't sweat  simple things
 Take your time  do your thing

 [Pete Rock]
 As grains of sand pass from hand to hand
 I watch time stand still I'm just one man
 That's out for all so all should be for one
 Grew up on the drum with the J.B. "Unh!"
 The son, who spun the record that his pop's collected
 Went on to create and perfect the unexpected
 Funky beat sound watch the family "Get down!"
 Slide with the right and give cousin a pound
 Watch the young ones play and think back in the day
 When fresh was the style, plus the word to say
 It's all love now, let me show you how
 to take time out, and show you what life's about

 Chorus: Jane Eugene and Carl McIntosh

 Take your time walk the line just a matter of time
 Take your time walk the line just a matter of time
 Take your time walk the line just a matter of time
 Wo oh just a mattter of time

 [Jane Eugene]
 Feel the flow, and let it go
 Unwind, relax your mind
 Stay a while, take your time
 Bet you'll find, peace of mind

 [Pete Rock]
 With a, douse of soul, I'm back in control
 My goal sees the world pass from young to old
 Unfold a new tale, see yourself on scale
 2000 the year my black people prevail
 Yo straight up and down I got love for this son
 Nine years in the mix and if time permits
 I'll continue to make my melody for the tapes
 And walk the fine line between love and hate

 Chorus 4X
