    [Intro]
    Mmmmm, yeah
    [Verse 1]
    How do I not know that I am first?
    I put all much effort into everyone except the one who hurts
    Aim to please I got what you need
    Don't reject me I need validated worth
    Spread me thin, love to see you win
    Pray to God for the better or the worst
    [Hook]
    And I know I know I know I know
    I care about everybody else
    I should make some time baby, I need to make time for myself
    I know I know I know I know
    I worry about everybody else
    I should make some time baby, I need to make time for myself
    [Verse 2]
    Momma on my phone like... (Brr Brr)
    Boy you need to focus on your health
    Work out proper, eat more veggies, drink more water
    Tomorrows not promised for yourself
    I'm distracted this the last time I'm relapsing
    Earth & happy potions oh how swell
    Now what you up to oh not too much shit let's cut loose
    Match in heaven fires set in hell
    [Hook]
    And I know I know I know I know
    I care about everybody else
    I should make some time baby, I need to make time for myself
    I know I know I know I know
    I worry about everybody else
    I should make some time baby, I need to make time for myself..
    [Verse 3]
    Time
    All in due time
    I am like God in design
    I put my heart on the line
    No I'm not the worrying kind
    But I can not hurry what's mine
    My daddy made dishes & sent me well wishes black chicken rice curry & thyme
    Money don't matter my way
    Mentals been lathered in rage
    Compartmentalizing my judgement on others elitist when asked of my day
    They are not better than I
    But am I much better than self?
    What's better than you as you are?
    What's better than truth in yo heart?
    I pull up where niggas can't see me
    I need some space to move freely
    Just in case niggas go postal
    Fuck out my way I don't know you
    This is not twitter nigga do not be confused by the result of them protools
    Let's keep it civil & noble
    Gentrification & Whole Foods
    I wanna be more than expected
    I'm talking well & respected
    I'm talking vanity levels that might make the devil look back with obsession
    God got a lock on my heart, Lucy clench onto my flesh
    You give him the will to seek out on free thrills add a conscience & what you expect
    [Outro]
    I care about everybody else
    I need to make time for myself

    Sylvan sent me on a quest. A QuEst to find myself (as corny as that sounds). Man helped me lose 50 kilos with just this one song. My old man passed away and i got self destructive. Packed on the weight and tried to take care of my family. My mother started dating a 'beater' - I'm sure the name gives away what kind of man he was. She ended it 2 years ago Sylvan ( this song was a huge inspiration to her , since she asked me what I did to lose so much in such a short time) - Been doing great for myself and my mother since then. She got rid of the beater and re invented herself as the strong woman she is. Thanks man - even thought you might never see this or acknowledge it - you made a huge mark on my life and my mothers. Take care and will always follow you buddy.

    I'm just a random guy from germany and I wanted to say that Sylvan/Quest is my fav rapper, even if I have to look up his lyrics to understand the texts.
    His style is as individual as fluent and is skill is not comparable to many other partly more famous rappers. The beats are always individual and great, produced by people who know how to do it.
