I Was Patient

It's gon' take a bit of that patience
Killing myself to find something to do
It took a bit of that lasik
Had to get through
We never just give in
Like a religion
We write quotes too
That's a type of commitment
Some call it ignorant
But I don't quote fools
I remembered my mission
So I make nothin but dope moves
I'm a pro tool
I know goats rule
Ima be patient wit it
I remember I was faking wit it
Now I'm off to the races wit it
We gon' start where the basses hitting

I remember I was lost when I called you
You ditched a nigga
I couldn't fall through
I needed my squad
You was involved too
You was the same after all
You left your dog too
For a quick buck
You cut a throat through
I guess it was luck
You cut your throat too
You said we was homies
You know what I go through
It's clear you was phony
You fuckin autotune
The top was so lonely
Headed for the moon
I plotted the stars
I couldn't count on you
You was focused on Mars
I said we'll get there too
Now you focused on cars
Sitting in your room
Now I'm focused on laws
They wanna get me too
But I focus on laws
To get my taxes smooth
Ain't no jury involved
When I swear to the room
I'm the man of honor
When I join in the zoom
I remember you
I remember crew
You used to spit that shit
Service lip by lip
I guess you slip that shit
To get us bent on it
Fuckin' trifling dick
Like a trifling bitch
It took patience too
Just to goodnight that shit
You showed your ass
It wasn't even night and shit
When I get that paper
I won't even write you shit
Hope this ignite my shit
I hope you like this shit

It's gon' take a bit of that patience
Killing yourself to find something to do
It's gonna take a bit of that lasik
If you wanna get through
My religion is wisdom
Old head told me to keep that
Repeat that
Remember everything that they showed you
They gon' repeat that
Got damn
You gon' need a bit of that patience
You gon' need to release that caged beast
Stay sharp with that lasik
Remember everything you seen
Remember everything you dreamed
Ain't no fun taking the backseat
Killing everything you believe
Remember patience is all you need

Shit I remembered that
That helped me get through all the lows
In fact
There really wasn't no lows
I just stayed on track
They said the roads was long
Don't be turning back
Ain't nothin back here
Ain't no greener patch
Just weeds and rats
I remembered that
I hit the pin for that
When I got out
I didn't win from that
That was a life lesson
Had to live with that
Ain't no sore feelings
Just speak the facts
When you play me dog
I don't speak to cats
I been through it all
Got my stripes attached
Like a badge of honor
Some applaud for racks
But I applaud the facts
I remember I couldn't get them
To call me back
I didn't get advice
They be falling back
When niggas stole my verses
And started performing that
I seen all the traps
Now I don't play with fools
They think that I be hating
But I don't play with tools
They say that I be skating
I be making moves
They say that I'm abrasive
They can see my mood
But you the fakest crew
And I just keep it cool
Old head told me chill out
And just play the tune
You don't really need niggas
The closest hating too
Just keep that shit thorough
They gon' need you soon

It's gon' take a little bit of that patience
Killing yourself to find something to do
It's gonna take a lil bit of that lasik
If you wanna get through
My religion is wisdom
Old head told me to keep that
Repeat that
Remember everything that they showed you
They gon' repeat that
Got damn
You gon' need a little bit of that patience
You gon' need to release that caged beast
Stay sharp with that lasik
Remember everything you seen
Remember everything you dreamed
Ain't no fun taking the back seat
Killing everything you believe
Remember patience is all you need

I mean
I was taking all of that time
Sublime in the rhyme
Had to write all the signs
I seen niggas dying
Off the shit they wrote
I seen niggas flying
Off the shit we quote
Ain't no discrimination
Wit no bad boys
Even Michael Jackson
Got it bad boy
Even Prince
Damn I feel bad boy
So I'm taking flights
Add the steps up
Keep the wind bout you
Keep your chest up
Watch them taxes nigga
Clean them bets up
If the baddest wit ya
Betta check her
They be running game
Queens in checkers
I don't run the same
Usually step up
I'm on the board
But you can't check'em
If I'm on a tour
Its for pressure
If I'm on the feature
There's a lesson
I remember slights
Can't forget them
So many touch heights
And lost lift then
Trusting people
Rather than the things learned
Burned your whole ass
Didn't need perms
I can see the crash
Before we leave Earth
I can see the path
In your leisure
I was told
To map out the scene first
Be patient wit it
You gon' see'em work

My religion is wisdom
Told me to keep that
Repeat that
Got damn
Remember everything they showed you
Don't lett'em repeat that
Damn
