Wait For Me Lyrics by Verbalicious

0

[Verse 1]
Like Bonnie & Clyde, they’d ride hand-in-hand
Girl was the daughter, the father—the man
Legitimate business to cover the scam
But he tried and he suaved to succeed as the plan
And they matched, girl was a catch
His mind was a minefield of plans to be hatched
And dispatched as he came from the gutter
He swerved and he snatched
As he slowly created an orderly craft
Tryin’ to survive, not a cent to his name
The boy from the streets played a dangerous game
And his fame, grew through the alleyways
‘Til the future became and he reigned the domain
Fast forward in time, years down the line
A wife and a son and the daughter, his pride
But a twist in the plot, least expected of all
The day when this era-less hero would fall
[Chorus]
I can see you, I can hear you
It’s like you’re standin’ next to me
I’m mistaken, I’m shakin’
I know that life is testin’ me
I can see you, I can hear you
It’s like you’re standin’ next to me
Too late now, but I pray now
All I need is you to wait for me
[Verse 2]
The family were tighter than fists
Envy faced them daily and God dismissed
But his friends were jealous, the way he progressed
So they plotted to stoppin’ his role in success
He was stitched up, trust kept him blind
To the darkness in mind, what the cops would find
As he stepped in the car, the trunk had been lined
With the drugs, police were discreet when they spied
He stopped, searched, his sad face changed
He tore as he saw it had all been arranged
And they led him away, his life was a daze
To the years he would waste and the price he’d pay
[Chorus]
I can see you, I can hear you
It’s like you’re standin’ next to me
I’m mistaken, I’m shakin’
I know that life is testin’ me
I can see you, I can hear you
It’s like you’re standin’ next to me
Too late now, but I pray now
All I need is you to wait for me
[Verse 3]
Mama said big girls don’t cry, but she lied
They hide it inside, so their cheeks stay dry
But I’d take off my makeup in pride
Face all my demons and speak what is on my mind
Before the chord with a cross in the hand
She visited daddy while on remand
But he sat in the corner, half of the man that he had been
Life like the fragments, it’s sad
Cops confiscated everything they owned
Barricaded the house and they raided the home, they were broke
Their family and friends had disowned them
A hope would descend when they needed it most
This part I believe, God intervened
The words "not guilty", a miracle scene
But the business remains, he can’t get away
The problem with gangsta, you’re never cut free
[Chorus]
I can see you, I can hear you
It’s like you’re standin’ next to me
I’m mistaken, I’m shakin’
I know that life is testin’ me
I can see you, I can hear you
It’s like you’re standin’ next to me
Too late now, but I pray now
All I need is you to wait for me
I can see you, I can hear you
It’s like you’re standin’ next to me
I’m mistaken, I’m shakin’
I know that life is testin’ me
I can see you, I can hear you
It’s like you’re standin’ next to me
Too late now, but I pray now
All I need is you to wait for me
[Outro]
Hey boy, what you comin’ from?
Hey boy, what you runnin’ from?
Hey boy, what you comin’ from?
Hey boy, what you runnin’ from?
