Waiting

Been rapping for two years, that's how long I've been writing
Fast forward to now the music's way too enticing
I mean, takes me a couple minutes to write it
Man, I'm not tryna fight it, but I don't think I been righteous, man
I'm down like I'se a pawn, front line warrior cuz' I'm the first person to fall
But gravity ain't a law, yet we put it on a pedestal
And build defensive walls and think success is with medical
What?
What makes your leaders out here credible, huh?
I mean honestly, they dub themselves a novelty
Think that women are property and don't know who you are
Probably, honestly, be honest to me please
Cut the drama, cut the slack, we don't need any of that
What we need are real people who truly will give a crap
I'm tryna help, but I need that, don't tell me I should relax
I've got a purpose and it's worth it, I don't need your chit chat
I remember my past, I know all the facts
But what I'm feeling right now, it's worse than those tracks
All I see is black and it ain't looking that beautiful
And all I see is trapped, I just hanging like a cuticle, man
Feels like I pass out and I die
My thoughts are running my mind, school is wasting my time
And people without the evil ain't people I realized
So tell me, am I a fool or do I just have open eyes, man

Oh
Oh, Oh
Oh
Oh, Oh
Oh
Oh, Oh
Oh
Oh, Oh

Yo it ain't easy being me and it ain't easy being you
But how are we gone get through if we don't help each other dude
A house, without its beams will fall, and that's the truth
So if you isolate yourself then how will I produce my fruit
When everyone's beating down on you it's hard to keep on breathing
So how will I get the "W" if people keep on leaving
Just because your life is bad, doesn't mean that it's all good
To yell at me when you're mad and tell me everything I should
Isolation, Desolation, Motivation, Contemplation
On all of the different outcomes of every situation
You're focused on a vacation? I'm still on determination
I ain't tryna get a bag, I'm tryna defeat the hatred
But these are just written statements
If I don't act on anything, then I'm just out here faking
I've been working in basement
And forever Imma last, so I guess I'm out here waiting
