[Verse 1: Pdot O]
Lights please Blak, please get the light switch
I done seen a lot of trials in this life shit
So I might quit 'cause I feel depleted, defeated
My words spark hope when ever needed
So I dream and I never look back
Paper chase, never stop til it's chasing me back
And I still show no fear incase of the fact that
I've been down with a fat ass monkey on my back
I think I broke a shoulder, but a soldier keeps moving til the war's over
Never had much coming up
Promoters still duckin' us
Runners up? Hell nah, we Kings til the clock is up
It's a man's world, I got my chucks on
I'm more than you can stand girl, that's why we need a rubber on
And on another song, I'll tell you all about it
I carry the scripture, cause I am nothing without it
God bless us, and God bless you
I need a pastor, someone I should confess to
It gets better yes, despite the weather yes
But these demons keep telling me to let her rest
I mean give up, hoping my heart live up
The truth and the flesh, my Lord just walk with us
I've been waiting all my life for this
Sometimes I question, "I wonder if I'm right for this?"
[Chorus: Kimosabe]
This can't be life
I can't believe this
And so I think twice
Check if I'm breathing
I've been waiting for so long
I've been waiting for so long
I've been waiting for so long
I've been waiting for so long
I've been waiting for so long
[Verse 2: Pdot O]
I never cry much, when I'm going through it
I just bottle it up and put it through the music
And I can't wait to do it, take the drama use it
I'm the best, I'm just waiting for my chance to prove it
It's been so long, remain so strong
And I carry my city on back, now we gone, gone
Harder days, we was struggling bad
Now we toast to that good life, hustling mad ways to get paper
Of course the sky scrape up, flows
Might take up your hoe, so wake up and go
Get yours till the sun come up
We still hungry, so we feed till the blood runs out, damn
Mr. I Try, you need to try harder
Work myself to the bone, I need to fight smarter
Sometimes I feel all alone, I need the right partner
To keep me composed and calm when the storm light up
We seen the concrete
We grew up in the streets
We seen 'em drunk fiends, they six feet deep
So hold your head, keep your family close
I need success so I wanna see my family boast about me
They lost without me
Cut crack, I'm a force but of cause I'm a dog I'm rowdy
Yes, momma open your eyes, Your son alive living the dream
I [?] to the sky, the sky
[Chorus: Kimosabe]
This can't be life
I can't believe this
And so I think twice
Check if I'm breathing
I've been waiting for so long
I've been waiting for so long
I've been waiting for so long
I've been waiting for so long
I've been waiting for so long
This can't be life
I can't believe this
And so I think twice
Check if I'm breathing
I've been waiting for so long
I've been waiting for so long
I've been waiting for so long
I've been waiting for so long
I've been waiting for so long
