[Intro (Sampled): Erykah Badu]
Oh my—my—my
I'm feeling high
My money's gone
I'm all alone
[?]
The world keeps turning
Oh, what a day
What a day, what a day
[Ad-Libs]
[Verse 1]
Just got off the phone, it's official, man, I got the deal
Should I pinch myself? I can't believe it, this cannot be real
Sign, sealed, delivered in the morning, ask me how I feel
This time last year I was eating [?] with [?]
This is what they talk about, yeah, this is what dreams are made of
You would feel real emotional too if you really knew about where I came from
Put my girlfriend through a hella lot, and my family through even more
Sacrifice [?] sacrifice, I did the groundwork and now [?] at the door
No, no, [?] thought I wasn't coming down, did you?
Want my fair slice of the cake, so don’t try to play me for a little
Cause I'm gon' eat that up, take my time, want that shine, it's all mine
All my grind, no stop signs, all green lights, [?]
[Chorus]
I know they waitin’, waitin’
Wait—wait—waitin’, waitin' on me
‘Cause I hear they’re waitin’, waitin’
Wait—wait—waitin’, waitin' on me
Ayy, and it’s okay
It's alright, I had to grow so I took my time
It’s okay, it's alright, I had to grow so I took my time
I know they're waitin’, waitin’
Wait—wait—waitin’, waitin' on me
[Interlude]
"Yo, as I look down at—at my wrist at this new timepiece I was given as a gift, it reflects the day of when things were about to change, and I'll always remember that time."
[Verse 2]
International call, my dad is on a speakerphone
Talkin' 'bout the news, he said to hold it down, he's coming home
I've been patiently waitin' till I can go and tell my town
Elefant Traks, B Wise, you know it's going down
Shoutout to my old supporters, wassup to my brand new fam
This shit's gonna be a movie, I'm gon' rep it how I can
Felt like I was gonna be here, knew it from the start
Cause everything I talk about I say right from the heart
Whether playing shows to three people or them packed arenas
I'm gon' take this shit so global, I won't stop until they see us
I'm a really big dreamer, turn them doubters to believers
So I say, Semi-Pro EP is on the way
