Well there used to be a time
I would sit up on my terrace dumping roaches trying to die
Cockroaches in my mind
Long before I knew these rhymes
Give my heart a brand new beating now it’s four years since was high
But in those days
I would cling on to each line
Folks like boogie ain’t just cool peeps y’all is heroes in my eyes
Mac and Ab-Soul helped survive
Full entranced pure mystified
Told the kid who’s weird and lonely there be hope on other sides

I remember a time when I thought there would not be
Another tomorrow like life worked against me
But you push through that sorrow learn to live with the grief
And sometimes it subsides and you will find yourself smiling

Foreboded so long my childhood park turned to a parking
Used to all gather round talk about nothing on a Friday
The want to be rapper and the homie about Miami
While the school trying to slam us like we would not see our results meet
Most of my bros probably wind up in economics
When deep in they souls that is the last thing they have been wanting
But constant pressures else disowned to make money
The biggest killer and expiry of the artist

I wait so long for you
For a chance to feel loved by somebody
I wait so long for you
But sometimes it be feeling like a rat race
I wait so long for you
Feeling like ain’t nobody here to call me
I wait so long for you
Need a pick me up let the music lift the large weight

To even think where we are after years being convinced I would never reach anyone
Ain’t seen the crib in a minute been going after this dumb
Should not work like Tom Lister odds are one in a million
The odd one does it for fun
A touch is reciprocal
There’s too many drugs and guns that been killing us
They strip our futures not colours it’s we human
In this type climate stay sharp man need vigilance

I remember a time when I thought there would not be
Another tomorrow like life worked against me
But you push through that sorrow learn to live with the grief
And sometimes it subsides and you will find yourself smiling

From drowning feel mountains main thumb print’s just persevere
From hospital gowns dang near dying to in the clear
Impact’s too profound to sum you up it needing tears
That’s true love I threw up like two times to write you this
All screwed up our screws tug depending what’s happening
Done screwed up insurance this music the place I rest
Recluse since my youth found my group in the words you lend
Your truth songs consume heart I’m moved cause

I wait so long for you
For a chance to feel loved by somebody
I wait so long for you
But sometimes it be feeling like a rat race
I wait so long for you
Feeling like ain’t nobody here to call me
I wait so long for you
Need a pick me up let the music lift the large weight

Somebody come get me
Just pulled to the side got caught on the road while running on empty
I’m running on empty
Still ain’t did enough if I ended it now they would probably forget me
Like take my advantage you know how much shit I done did for the city
Know how much shit
Yo yo
Lord protect me from my idle time
When dark become your home you build resentment until you’re light inside
Hate to look up and you see nobody by your side
On this drive
Know it’s hard to stay inside the lines

Don’t ask me how I’m coping
Brodie stuck up in his ways because he broken got no motion
Surprise myself I find the strength to keep on going uh
Surprise myself I find the strength to still be open uh
Yo yo
Uh
Told myself I had to make it
I leave my stamp so all this work I did be validated
Glad I faced this pressure
Only made me better
Made me to the point to where I can say I’m with whatever

Whatever it takes
Go for ages no results just the price that you pay
And my real people know me
Swear all of them homies
It’s not about what you make but going out as an og
Depends on what you make
This a stretch it’s aerobics
In studio we slaved summersaults tears been salty
It’s been so many days
We weren’t heard so unnoticed but gave this thing my word and it was birthed once we spoked it
Living for the moment
These sinners kind of roadless
At least you got a road I heard of cities that been blown bits
Sticking out it’s morbid
Can’t kick it like a goal wish
You’ll see yourself hit it if you swing it less the culprit’s

I wait so long for you
For a chance to feel loved by somebody
I wait so long for you
But sometimes it be feeling like a rat race
I wait so long for you
Feeling like ain’t nobody here to call me
I wait so long for you
