Patience

[Chorus]
All I'm asking for is patience (patience)
Never really wanna keep you waiting (waiting)
But I know that this will be worth it (it will be worth it)
We could be more than picture perfect
So just bare with me (bare with me)
Sit right here, pull up a chair with me (pull up a chair with me)
I know we're gonna make it (gonna make it)
All I ask is be patient with me (will you be patient with me?)

[Verse 1]
First things first, let me apologize
I'm sorry that I ain't working no nine-to-five
Sorry not sorry, man, that ain't my kinda life
I need time locked away with the things that make me shine
I'm sorry I don't have a five-year plan
To be honest I'm just happy that I'm right here, man
So I'm living in the present, progressing every second
'Cause I learnt a couple lessons when it hurts so bad
So I, make hay when the sun shines
And when it rains I pour the pain up in a long rhyme
And when it pays I'll be amazed cos for a long time
I never thought when putting pen to pages they'd be online
Aye, but now they are
And anybody that was doubting now they're lining up
And if you ain't climbing mountains you ain't high enough
So please bear with me while I'm climbing up
You know we're coming up, ayy

[Chorus]
All I'm asking for is patience (patience)
Never really wanna keep you waiting (waiting)
But I know that this will be worth it (it will be worth it)
We could be more than picture perfect
So just bare with me (bare with me)
Sit right here, pull up a chair with me (pull up a chair with me)
I know we're gonna make it (gonna make it)
All I ask is be patient with me (will you be patient with me?)

[Verse 2]
Ayy, you know you coulda had it easier than me
But you saw through and made it easy to believe
When I first told you this is what I wanna be
You never doubted for a second an' said, "Get it, Johniepee"
So I thank you from the bottom of mine
By my side like every time
All the late nights, paid flights, whenever I left you stayed right
Forever in debt, you never will get the level you bless me like day light
Aye, but you know what it's for in the long run
Ain't-in-it for the short haul, but the long one
So I'll be happy on tour like Pharrell's song
'Cause you know when I'm back home will be with bells on
So I keep at it, keeping your feet tapping
I pray when I cut this track that the beat will bleed magic
And it may seem tough when the money is short
But all I ever need from you is your love and support

[Refrain]
So please be patient with me
Please be patient with me
Please be patient
Be patient with me with me, yeah

[Chorus]
All I'm asking for is patience (patience)
Never really wanna keep you waiting (waiting)
But I know that this will be worth it (it will be worth it)
We could be more than picture perfect
So just bare with me (bare with me)
Sit right here, pull up a chair with me (pull up a chair with me)
I know we're gonna make it (gonna make it)
All I ask is be patient with me (will you be patient with me?)

[Bridge]
When the rain comes, knocks it all down
We gon' rebuild again (we gon' rebuild again)
'Cause we don't stop 'til we've got it on lock
I'ma be here 'til the end
When the rain comes (comes), knocks it all down (down)
We gon' rebuild again (we gon' rebuild again)
'Cause we don't stop 'til we've got it on lock (on lock)
I'ma be here 'til the end (I'ma be here 'til the end)

[Verse 3]
Thank you for everything, never been settling
You've always been around like a wedding ring
So I solemly swear that I'll be killing shit
I'ma put you in a good house, girl, I promise this
Everything you deserve, maybe a couple kids
Put a ring up on that finger like a hobbit did
And I'm glad I stole your heart like a robber did
Yeah, we gon' be alright, girl, I promise this
Ayy, here's a shout-out to my day one's, all the real friends not the fake ones
All my family, everyone who never doubted me, allowing me to just take off
So we climb, we climb, we climb to the top we never rest
And we find, we find, we find we struck Gold when we got our friends
Yes, gold medalists, homes higher than heaven is
Wings and a halo would underline my sentiments
So when I'm in town, we'll break bread like brethren
Your support has taken me places I have never been, ayy

[Chorus]
All I'm asking for is patience (patience)
Never really wanna keep you waiting (waiting)
But I know that this will be worth it (it will be worth it)
We could be more than picture perfect
So just bare with me (bare with me)
Sit right here, pull up a chair with me (pull up a chair with me)
I know we're gonna make it (gonna make it)
All I ask is be patient with me (will you be patient with me?)
