“Don’t You Wait” directly addresses Solange’s previous audience which celebrated her successful 2012 EP True. During her four year hiatus, she realized white critics felt entitled to music which avoided uncomfortable discussions of her racial politics, because of True’s rock/indie influences. This...
[Verse 1]
I gave it all away that night, it was taking a little time, oh
I gave it all I got but now you better know that I know for sure, oh
[Refrain]
You made my bed, dealt with it when the lights went out
Now looking back for temporary nothings
But I bet on it, you'll all be here when the lights come out
Still looking for nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave it all I got to know now
I don't want no part of it no longer, no longer
Looked around this place enough to know now
I don't want to waste the time to know you, to know you
[Chorus]
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
[Verse 2]
Now, I don't want to bite the hand that'll show me the other side, no
But I didn't want to build the land that has fed you your whole life, no
Don't you find it funny?
[Refrain]
You made my bed, dealt with it when the lights went out
Now looking back for temporary nothings
But I bet on it, you'll all be here when the lights come out
Still looking for nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave it all I got to know now
I don't want no part of it no longer, no longer
Looked around this place enough to know now
I don't want to waste the time to know you, to know you
[Chorus]
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
[Bridge]
I don't wanna, wanna, wanna wait
I don't wanna, wanna, wanna wait
[Chorus]
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me

Well, the New York Times invited me to be a part of a podcast on “cultural tourism"…Although the podcast was to discuss all of that, I declined because it didn’t feel like a safe space to me. It didn’t feel like a healthy discussion, and I felt like it was going to be a debate. During the podcast th...
