Can’t Wait

[Verse 1: Gradient]
Before the Red Sox lifted the Bambino curse
Before a childish Donald ever spit a Gambino verse
Before Obama gave a speech at the DNC and proceeded to inconvenience the GOP and its leaders who dream to see the day that he’ll be deceased or at least impeached
Before they split us and divided with Citizens United
Back when pot smokers in Colorado had to hide it
Before Miley Cyrus had ever tried it
I been tryin’ to be the best version of myself
Sacrificing physical and mental health
For the things that my soul longs for
I used to wait so long for an opportunity to knock on my front lawn door
But it was all wrong consequences fall on you
If you do not crawl through; if you want it
Don’t be caught up in the politics, media, all of the things
Be a follower but be one who follows a dream

I ain’t trying to preach or be profound
I've just found that some lessons aren’t leather-bound
You can sit around askin’ how they do it
Or you can follow your passions, maybe make music
Two of us are doing that – me and Sammy Warm Hands
You can learn to take your life into your own hands
It ain’t easy believe me, it’s just the hardest thing
But the world’s waiting to receive what you’re gonna bring

I don’t think I have time to wait around anymore [x4]

[Verse 2: Sammy Warm Hands]
Before Russell and Darryl and Jay Mizell
Were famous, rocking Adidas apparel and raising hell
Before Steve made jobs and iPods sell
Before Hugh Hefner was ever chasing tail
Every acclaimed face had to blaze a trail
They just made the decision and weren’t afraid to fail
To face defeat and still reach the bravest feat
From Farmers Blvd on to Beacon Street
We cease to be defined by the lines
We feast our eyes on the brighter side
Blinded by the plight? Strife is multiplied
So either climb the high road or hope to die
Take your time, find a place to hide – rest easy
‘Cause you’re ready for everything that life leads
Being it higher education or Exiled weekly
You can reach your dreams if you believe it deeply

I ain’t trying to preach or be profound
I’ve just found that some lessons aren’t leather-bound
You can sit around asking how they do it
Or you can follow your passions, maybe make music
Two of us are doing that – me and Gradient
Only saying don’t stop until you’re rocking stadiums
It ain’t easy believe me, it’s the hardest thing
But the world’s patiently waiting for what you’re offering
