Patience (feat. Lil Baby)

(I just need my space right now)

Patience was the key, I stayed down 'til I got it
Money, power and respect, could tell you all about it
Man, I swear it ain't come easy, that's on God
I climbed some mountains, should've seen momma face
When I bought her that new Audi
2020, motherfucker, I bought it with no mileage

I was born with the drip, so I never need no stylist
Back-to-back Lambos, me and Baby, we be wildin'
Can't wait to take my family on a trip, we be all on the island
Money ain't change me, changed niggas around me
Old friends hatin', got some niggas wanna doubt me
Don't know why they hatin', to be real that shit be crowdin' me
I feel my whole hood, but I know my city proud of me

First one of Arkansas to get a major deal
They ask me how I do it, man, I tell 'em, "God is real"
I'm in the booth with Gucci Mane, I swear that shit gave me the chills
Got me scratchin' on my head like, "God damn, this can't be real"
Real

And patience was the key, ayy, I'm the livin' proof
I swear to God, ayy, look at me
Whoever thought that boy from back then off of sellin' weed
Would be all on a stage, rockin' crowds and on TV
Man, you gotta be patient, you gotta be patient
I say you gotta be patient, and waitin'
On what's mine, it's my time, I'm finna take it, take it

Gotta have patience with this shit, I took a chance
I was havin' fun with my other money, I still got my advance
Ain't never takin' no bars, man, it's like Big Rod on a Xan'
I dropped out, then moved out, let my momma think that was the plan
I'ma be the man, sell all of these bags and ain't no bad bitch I ain't have
We have so many guns online, I put my phone inside the trash

I see the stove, man, word to my dad
It wasn't that good, but it wasn't that bad
I told my agent, "I want cash, them checks be takin' too long to come"
She's like, "Baby, just have patience, this is a hell of a lot of money"
I'm Lil Baby, I don't like waitin', I don't pay you to make comments

I'm bein' honest if I can be
I know my opps can't stand me
From level five penitentiary to Grammys
Only way to stop me is probably to ban me, and I still won't quit
She know I ain't no good for her, but she still my bitch
I got my records, okay, I'm legit
Now we really got sticks
I sold my whole city pounds, I really been in that mix

(I just need my space right now)
And patience was the key, ayy, I'm the livin' proof
I swear to God, ayy, look at me
Whoever thought that boy from back then off of sellin' weed
Would be all on a stage, rockin' crowds and on TV
Man, you gotta be patient, you gotta be patient
I say you gotta be patient, and waitin'
On what's mine, it's my time, I'm finna take it, take it
