[Intro: Aremaich & Goat Smuggla]
Patience, a virtue, a test, a trait
Carved in stone, or etched in fate?
A mirage in the desert, driving me insane (Uh, uh)
[Chorus: Aremaich]
I’ve seen the fast lane, the reckless and bold
Living life in overdrive, stories yet untold
But the finish line’s blurred, the prize, a deceit
A hollow victory, a soul incomplete
Slow down, they say, find your peace of mind
But the world’s a treadmill, hard to leave bеhind
[Verse 1: Aremaich]
Days turn to nights, and nights to dawn
Hopes and dreams, a fragile pawn
In this grand chеss match, time’s the king
A calculated move, a subtle sting
The promise of better, a distant star
A flicker of hope, to keep us afar
We yearn for tomorrow, a brighter day
But today’s the battle, where courage lay
Resilience is armor, against doubt's cold steel
A steady heartbeat, a heart that’s real
The world moves fast, a relentless pace
But inner peace is found, in this sacred space
The grass may seem greener, on the other side
But growth happens here, where roots abide
We chase illusions, of perfect life
Ignoring the beauty, in the midst of strife
Good things come to those who wait, they say
But how long is forever, in this endless fray?
[Chorus: Aremaich]
I’ve seen the fast lane, the reckless and bold
Living life in overdrive, stories yet untold
But the finish line’s blurred, the prize, a deceit
A hollow victory, a soul incomplete
Slow down, they say, find your peace of mind
But the world’s a treadmill, hard to leave behind
[Break: Goat Smuggla]
Hahahahaha!
Patience, a virtue, they say
[Verse 2: Goat Smuggla]
Now I'm reaping the whirlwind, a harvest of pain
Yearning for stillness, to find my way again
Good things come to those who wait, they say
But how long is too long, in this endless fray?
Days turn to weeks, weeks to months, years fly by
Hope dwindles, replaced by a cynical sigh
I question the worth, the value of time
Is it a currency, or just a cruel crime?
Tick-tock, the seconds slip through my grasp
A countdown to something, a future yet to clasp
I'm caught in a paradox, wanting it all now
But knowing the journey is where growth somehow
Resides, in the waiting, the learning, the strife
The quiet moments, that give life its life
So I'll sit in silence, and let patience preside
Embracing the unknown, wherever the tide
May lead me, I'll follow, with a steady heart
Trusting the process, tearing down the start
To finish line mentality, a flawed design
It's about progress, not perfection, a state of mind
I'm learning to savor the wait, to appreciate the pause
To find strength in stillness, to honor life's laws
[Chorus: Aremaich]
I’ve seen the fast lane, the reckless and bold
Living life in overdrive, stories yet untold
But the finish line’s blurred, the prize, a deceit
A hollow victory, a soul incomplete
Slow down, they say, find your peace of mind
But the world’s a treadmill, hard to leave behind
[Break: GeniusThaG & Goat Smuggla]
Patience, a virtue, or a prison cell?
Tick-tock of time, a haunting funeral knell (Uh-huh)
Delayed gratification, a bitter pill to swallow
Or a seed planted deep, a growth to follow (The genius)
[Verse 3: GeniusThaG]
Good things come to those who wait, they say
But what's a good thing in this fading gray?
Success, acclaim, the fortune and the fame?
Or peace of mind, a different kind of game?
I've chased the carrot, the dangling prize
Ignored the whispers, the silent cries
Of a soul yearning for something more
Than material gain, to unlock the door
To inner peace, a sanctuary deep
Where shadows retreat and spirits sleep
But the world keeps spinning, a relentless pace
And I'm caught in the gears, a vacant space
I've traded moments for milestones reached
Lost in the climb, a forgotten speech
Of dreams deferred, and hopes concealed
A heart grown colder, a spirit revealed
As fragile as glass, easily cracked
By the weight of the world, badly attacked
[Chorus: Aremaich]
I’ve seen the fast lane, the reckless and bold
Living life in overdrive, stories yet untold
But the finish line’s blurred, the prize, a deceit
A hollow victory, a soul incomplete
Slow down, they say, find your peace of mind
But the world’s a treadmill, hard to leave behind
