The Patient

Passing past to the present tense, would prolly come off more comical
Even seem hysterical, though it be historical
Then when it's the future telling
Nah we don't wanna hear that
Cause we often feared that
But now look where we at
Big Dreams, Big things, Big facts
No more loose change
Just steps
Don't run from the pain, Accept
New reps, New gains, New flex
But aren't you upset
Like you ain't where you wanna be yet
Like you the one, nobody seems to get
The real & fake just mixed
Yet you remain concrete
No one to dance to your cadence
Feeling trapped inside this generation
Growing up watching others flourish
Yet you the one that's waiting
Where the fuck did we lose our patience
Time heals everything you know
But we don't

Look
Niggas weird and people come and go
Pain is inevitable, and you need that to grow
And they just want it fast, but l'll just take slow
Bad things only last, when you don't take the time to let it go
Let it go-o-o
Look
Niggas weird and people come and go
Pain is inevitable, and you need that to grow
And they just want it fast, but l'll just take slow
Bad things only last, when you don't take the time to let it go
Let it go-o-o

Patience is a virtue, so they say
But to us that shit's dismay
But imma find a way
Make these niggas and these bitches finally understand the play
That they gat no role in
Show goes on
The film keeps on rolling
Who gone stop the course of it, You
When it comes being this lax, we don't have a clue
Millennials coming through, and what to do
Stuck at a crossroad
Forgetting the God-Code
Where should I go
Idk
Where to find you
Idk
Who gone make it
We don't know
Who's gone give you
Don't have a clue
Is there a way
Maybe so
Is it up to me
I think so
But who am I to know
This here is your freedom and it's so beautiful
Till it becomes the usual

Though
People like us just in our own minds
I can attest to that
The pending fact
That if I don't do what I'm supposed to now
Then I'll reside where failures at
High Pride & Ego tends to kill your soul
& days go by and we just get older
Only wanting to break the mold, but
There's doubt & pain we shoulder
We should keep the goal up
But the person in the mirror ain't all that
Sometimes pressure make a nigga fall back
Thinking you ain't good yet
Thinking you ain't ready yet
World preaching you could do it
Go through shit, & say screw it
& it's a rocky to where the diamonds shine
Heartbreaks till you see the lines
Fuck ups till you refine
Took me 3 years of my time
Bronze life, with a Gold mind
And writing platinum hits with these silver lines, you know

Look
Niggas weird and people come and go
Pain is inevitable, and you need that to grow
And they just want it fast, but l'll just take slow
Bad things only last, when you don't take the time to let it go
Let it go

Look
Niggas weird and people come and go
Pain is inevitable, and you need that to grow
And they just want it fast, but l'll just take slow
Bad things only last, when you don't take the time to let it go
Let it go-o-o
Look
Niggas weird and people come and go
Pain is inevitable, and you need that to grow
And they just want it fast, but l'll just take slow
Bad things only last, when you don't take the time to let it go
Let it go-o-o

Look
Niggas weird and people come and go
Come and go
Pain is
Pain is inevitable
You need that to grow and they just want it fast, but l'll just take slow
Bad things only last, if you don't take
You don't take
You don't take
Time
Time to let it go
Let it
Let it go
You should let it go
You should let it go
