[Intro]
(Pipe that shit up, TnT)
All my life, oh
I know it was gon' be like this forever, I waited all my life
(Ayy, Elaye, you countin' up)
Ayy, if I told you I knew it was gon' be like this
Would, um, wou-would you believe me?
I promise, I seen it
[Chorus]
I know it was gon' be like this forever, I waited all my life (Uh-uh)
I know it was gon' be like this forever, I waited all my life
Oh, I know it was gon' be like this forever, I waited all my life
Oh, I know it was gon' be like this forever, I waited all my life
Oh
[Verse]
Bring out the red carpet, they know that I'm the man now
They told me, "Be patient, wait your turn," I understand now
They used to doubt me, say I couldn't do it, but I can now
Lil' woadie ride with all them sticks on him like he in a band now, oh, I
I wish I could fly
Sometimes, I get caught up inside my past and I just cry
I heard the good die young, but why my nigga had to die?
Just know we ain't coppin' no plea, all that pressure gettin' applied
Oh, one shot to his dome and he dead
"That young nigga ain't gon' never make it," that's what they said
I'm tryna take care of my people, gotta make sure they fed
Gotta keep my head on a swivel, I can't never be misled
Headshot for all them niggas who want smoke with me
Hide my scars behind these tears so they don't notice me
We livin' lovely, know that this how it's supposed to be
I doin' way better than what they expected from me
[Chorus]
I know it was gon' be like this forever, I waited all my life (Uh-uh)
I know it was gon' be like this forever, I waited all my life
Oh, I know it was gon' be like this forever, I waited all my life
Oh, I know it was gon' be like this forever, I waited all my life
[Outro]
Oh, I waited all my life
Oh, I waited all my life
Oh, I waited all my life
Oh, I waited all my life
Oh, all my life
I waited all my life
I waited all my life
Oh, I waited all my life
And if we make it out the struggle, we can do it all
And if we make it out the struggle, we can do it all
