Waiting Lyrics by CHRIS YONGE

Presence

2015

[Intro]
Don't, waste your breath, waste your breath, waste your breath
Don't, waste your breath, waste your breath, waste your breath
Don't, waste your breath, waste your breath, waste your breath, on me
Don't, waste your breath, waste your breath, waste your breath, on me

[Chorus]
I know that times will get harder
And it's natural to hate it
But I don't even bother
I know one day that I'll make it
I think my life is in order
I just gotta keep patient
And I know what I'm missing
So why the fuck am I waiting
I don't know
I don't know know know know know know know know
Why the fuck am I waiting
I don't know
I don't know know know know know know know know
Why the fuck am I waiting
I know that times can get harder
And it's natural to hate it
But I don't even bother
I know one day that I'll make it
I think my life is in order
I just gotta keep patient
And I know what I'm missing
So why the fuck am I waiting
I don't know
I don't know know know know know know know know
Why the fuck am I waiting
I don't know
I don't know know know know know know know know
Why the fuck am I waiting

[Verse 1]
I don't got a lot of friends but it don't hurt
A life like mine, man it won't work
I'm tryna make rules all around
But I'm lost in the world got me feelin' like Joe Dirt
I got no time for the fake friends, yeah
'Cause that don't really make sense
I ain't really down with anybody that'll dip from the strip as soon as my cake ends
They smile in my face but I know that's it's fake
And I know that they hate that I grind
They see me out puttin' in work and they know I won't stop til I've taking what's mine
Looking for reason to stop what I'm doing but nothing is giving a sign
So I been out grinding as hard as I can
Cause you know that I'm driven to shine
I work hard so I play the part
The way I lay it down is a way of art
Thank god if they say I'm smart
But I still see the shade a lot
I do this shit for my whole team
Back in the day I lived without no dream
Life went slow, felt like codeine
Now I got a vision, hooked like a dope fiend
So I gotta get it, get it right now
Got some lines that I better write down
Rather have a smile instead of my frown
But I ain't gonna smile til I'm head of my town
Getting my crown is a short time goal
Reppin' that sound with a Northside flow
They telling me pause to tell me the odds
Forgetting that now but of course I know, of course I know

Don't, waste your breath, waste your breath, waste your breath, on me
Don't, waste your breath, waste your breath, waste your breath, on me

[Chorus]
I know that times will get harder
It's natural to hate it
But I don't even bother
I know one day that I'll make it
I think my life is in order
I just gotta keep patient
And I know what I'm missing
So why the fuck am I waiting
I don't know
I don't know know know know know know know know
Why the fuck am I waiting
I don't know
I don't know know know know know know know know
Why the fuck am I waiting
I know that times can get harder
It's natural to hate it
But I don't even bother
I know one day that I'll make it
I think my life is in order
I just gotta keep patient
And I know what I'm missing
So why the fuck am I waiting
I don't know
I don't know know know know know know know know
Why the fuck am I waiting
I don't know
I don't know know know know know know know know
Why the fuck am I waiting

[Verse 2]
Another damn night that I can't sleep
There ain't a damn thing that I can't leap
I been working so long that I haven't even left my own crib in a damn week
Depressed from the fact that I haven't made it
Think about my life got me agitated
Everybody tryna tell me what I should be doing at my age man that shit got me aggravated
I don't understand why they gotta judge a man on the way that he's choosing to live life
Working in my room, hitting up my phone, all of my homies tryna get hype
To celebrate what?
To light your weed so we elevate up
Telling my friends that we gotta chase dreams
How ironic that I always gotta tell em wake up

Don't, waste your breath, waste your breath, waste your breath, on me
Don't, waste your breath, waste your breath, waste your breath, on me

[Chorus]
I know that times will get harder
It's natural to hate it
But I don't even bother
I know one day that I'll make it
I think my life is in order
I just gotta keep patient
And I know what I'm missing
So why the fuck am I waiting
I don't know
I don't know know know know know know know know
Why the fuck am I waiting
I don't know
I don't know know know know know know know know
Why the fuck am I waiting
I know that times can get harder
It's natural to hate it
But I don't even bother
I know one day that I'll make it
I think my life is in order
I just gotta keep patient
And I know what I'm missing
So why the fuck am I waiting
I don't know
I don't know know know know know know know know
Why the fuck am I waiting
I don't know
I don't know know know know know know know know
Why the fuck am I waiting
