J.i. Taken For Granted

J.I’s rise to prominence has been fun to watch and his consistency remains impressive. The artist is always rapping and singing about a variety of topics, and he isn’t afraid to show some vulnerability in his songs. As someone who has been through a lot in his young career, he wears his heart on his sleeve, and it makes for some great tracks, including his latest called “Taken For granted.”

With this song, J.I can be found performing a ballad of sorts as we are met with catchy melodies and some piano in the instrumentation. He sings about relationships and how he doesn’t want to be taken for granted anymore. It is something that many of us can relate to, and J.I does a great job at putting these thoughts on record.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, oh
Let me talk my shit

[Verse 1]
I guess they forgot about all the blood and tears, they were sheddin’ on me
‘Cause when I see ’em they act like they movin’ better than me
I shrug it off ’cause I know they ain’t doin’ better than me
And I ain’t even gotta talk about these scars ’cause they embedded on me
So stop it, got a bunch of dead presidents that I can’t even name in these pockets
And I walk around with that strap, you might get clapped if you try to rob me
You gotta keep it gangsta with these hoes, I ain’t showin’ love to no sidepiece (Oh, oh, oh)
And everything I did was off the strength
We pulled way too many muscles for us to work it out
And y’all can’t peak inside this window, I got the curtains down
Sometimes I let my shorty hold the grip, she be on point
Y’all niggas make a move, she pull that Birkin out
These niggas really think they spooky
It ain’t shit for me to throw some Benjis on that goofy
Wanna turn a good girl to a freak? Throw Benjis on that coochie
You gotta stand on what you said, don’t dap me up if we ain’t Gucci
You better know what’s up
And I still pull up to my hood sometimes to show ’em love
I think I popped too many Percs, I feel like throwin’ up
And even if there’s blood on my flag, I’m still gon’ throw it up
On some real shit, oh, oh

[Chorus]
So please don’t take my heart for granted
Please, don’t take my trust for granted
I’m at the edge, tryna get some space
I know I might take some time but fuck it, I’ll be okay
Please, don’t take my heart for granted
Got high expectations for someone with low standards
Please, don’t take my time for granted
Please, don’t take my trust for granted

[Verse 2]
Got a fall of with my dawg but there ain’t no beef
And if it’s war, we not gon’ keep in the streets
All these drugs in my system, I ain’t even tryna speak
Got withdrawals from your love, I ain’t ever feel this weak
Before I sweat you, I’ll forget you like it’s nothin’
You got no respect, you disrespect me like it’s nothin’
And I ain’t tryna get burned in my own flame
If I get caught up, I’m sayin’ no name
It’s a cold heart right under this gold chain
Double up my cup for this cold pain
In this big body, I’m swervin’ in my own lane
I’m racin’ for that heart, I want my old flame back
Had to isolate myself now I’m alone
It’s hard to remove all of these stitches from my soul
And if I think you on that bullshit, I’ma introduce you to this full clip, oh, oh

[Chorus]
So please don’t take my heart for granted
Please, don’t take my trust for granted
I’m at the edge, tryna get some space
I know I might take some time but fuck it, I’ll be okay
Please, don’t take my heart for granted
Got high expectations for someone with low standards
Please, don’t take my time for granted
Please, don’t take my trust for granted
