PATIENCE

[Chorus]
Patience (wait), just give it some time
'Cause greatness don't come overnight, no
Patience, just give it some time (yeah, yeah)
'Cause greatness don't come overnight, no (yeah, yeah)

[Verse]
I need it all right now (whoo)
Man what's the point of waiting for this shit
I need it all right now
Money, fame, whips, chains
Tryna ball like Yao
I'm takin' every short-cut drivin' on my route
'Cause I need to be the first to the finish (yuh)
Yeah, this shit's a marathon but me, I'm tryna sprint it (runnin')
Always lookin' left and right at my competition
While my competition takin' time with the tunnel vision (whoo)
I'm just ridin' what's hot, just ridin' the wave
Nah I ain't never been too caught up in making my own lane
Just tryna be another synonym, who's sounding all the same
Until the label's like "Just put your Hancock on the page"
A little upfront bag
Getting fucked on the back-end
I ain't even read it 'cause I'm ready for the fashion
I get my neck flashin' (flashin')
All I know is that I'm about to go and push all my music to the masses
So why should I be concerned? (huh)
So what if I sold my soul to the devil for bezel and an Aston-Martin, now I'm goin' crazy, push starting
Down Holly Boulevard where my future star is
New model, bitch fixated with Neiman Marcus (she is)
But she says she loves me for who I am
Got me thinkin'
"Damn...music...it used to be my catharsis"
But now I'm only worried about the bands

First single comes out
That shit don't hit (don't hit) 'cause there's no substance
But no, I don't trip (don't trip)
'cause the label said they ain't gon' stop until I make it big (make it big)
Spend the money to make me pop while I was poppin' at my crib (at my crib)
Parties every other night, twelve a month for the rent (for the rent)
Advance goin' quick
Put another single out
No, it ain't married, it's a miss
Now I'm sitting on the shelf and I'm broker than a bitch
And my girl dipped off 'cause I didn't have

[Chorus]
Patience (wait), just give it some time
'Cause greatness don't come overnight, no
Patience, just give it some time (yeah, yeah)
'Cause greatness don't come overnight, no

[Verse 2]
(Everything I do)
Everything I do, yeah, it's up to me (yuh)
But it's only 'cause I made the right moves
Kept my circle tight
The trampoline you're jumpin' on is loose, no bounce
Meanwhile I'm dunkin on Antetokounmpo
Hublot on my wrist has never been the goal
But she know it's boutta be some pocket change when I do blow
Started in the basement makin' records with my homies
They're the only validation that I need, fuck you kudos
Dropped a song every week, forgot, who knows?
Built a catalog from the ground up
Gettin' love from the local scene
Did some shows, watched it add up
Put it back right into the rap, it's my passion
Fuck the Gucci fashion
Fuck, I don't need my jewelry flashin'
I'm whippin' in my Mazda, no Aston
Couple months pass and the labels start knocking
But right now that shit's not even an option 'cause I'm goin' on my own and I'm really about to blossom
I can feel it in my soul
Home alone, Macaulay Culkin
Working round the clock, I don't care how much guapo they be tossin'
Sign my life away? no I ain't waking up to coal inside my stocking
Now I'm poppin', independent tour around the nation off my own foundation that I built
Other rappers making money, disappear like Copperfield
While I'm dashing to the bank where you know it's sitting still
Got a milli in the safe, now I'm ready for a deal (I'm ready for)
But it's on my own terms, I ain't worried about no bonus
I want money on my back 'cause I know my shit's exploding
I'm controlling my career, the label helping me go global
Got my first hit up on the radio, this shit's in motion (motion)
Put the album out, tracklist, yeah I chose it
Now I'm selling out shows from New York to Nova Scotia
I ain't got no plans on slowing down, all I had to do was have

[Chorus]
Patience (wait), just give it some time (won't you just give it some time?)
'Cause greatness don't come overnight, no (don't come overnight, don't come overnight)
Patience (wait), just give it some time (won't you just give it some time?)
'Cause greatness don't come overnight, no (don't come overnight, don't come overnight)
