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)
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 yeah
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
Why my competition takin' time with eternal vision (whoo)
I'm just writin' 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 sinner, name whose sounds 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 embezzling
An Aston Martin, now i'm goin' crazy, push start and (yuh)
Down Holly Boulevard where my future star is
New model, bitch fixated with Neiman Marcus (she is)
But she said she loves me for who i am
Got me thinkin'
Damn music ain't 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 it's 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 now when they married
It's a miss
Now i'm sitting on the shelf and i'm broker than a bitch
And my girl dipped out 'cause i didn't have
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
(Everything i do)
Everything i do, yeah, it's up to me (yuh)
But it's only 'cause i made the right moves
Got my circle tight, trampoline you're jumpin' on is loose, don't 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 your 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 aired up
Put a bag right into the rap, my passion
Fuck the Gucci fashion
Fuck, i don't need much to be flashin'
I'm whippin' in my Mazda, no Aston
Couple months passed 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 around the clock and 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 of my own foundation that i built
For the rappers making money disappear like Copperfield
While i'm dashing to the bank where you know i sit instill
Got a milly 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
All my money on my back 'cause i know my shit 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 is have
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)
