Wait!

"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength

They shall mount up with wings like eagles

Shall run and not be weary

They shall walk and not faint"

Haha, sounds good, don't it?

Don't get me wrong, I believe Your word, but

Living Your word and walking Your word is something else

The weight, the struggle, the frustration

I'll try to wait on my time

Let me talk to you

Standing on my knees

The posture of the gospel

And I'm broken-hearted

News from my doctor's such a shocker

Heavenly Father, my soul is sick from sitting the sideline

Celebrating others but inside I'm screaming, "When is my time?"

I'm frustrated with time

Enough with making these rhymes

My trust is waiting in line

And my bus is taking its time

I'm held together by stitches in the seams

That's unseen but it seems

I'm unraveling daily

Thought your ladder would take me higher

Wired like four-12's in the trunk

Got my help when I come

'Cause they don't fail where I'm from

My ship sailed but it sunk

The results of rapping for man

Spit guns for claps from my fans

My tongue was packing them cans, uh

Spirit and flesh constantly at war in my head

Pillows were hard on my head

Back was so scared 'cause my bed

Was the concrete, so I waved the white flag

You replaced it with my towel

My heart your notepad, but oh dad

I'm tired of it

Sitting here trying to hold my peace

And you say wait

But these are the songs you wrote in me

But I must wait for it, wait for it, wait for it

I'm sick and tired of the wait

My hourglass an hour pass my time

You said, "It takes time"

How long do time take?

Walking by faith in hopes

To marry this blind date

A dream I didn't choose

This woman I didn't pursue

This match was made in heaven

And I just got the news that I'm nailed to her

Why is this relationship so stressed?

It's because hell knew her

Way before she picked her dress

She chose a failed loser

I'm a discouraged quitter

An impatient patient

Lord, where's my doctor? I'm sick and tired of waiting trying to glory in tribulation

Knowing it worketh patience

I'm building on this experience

That spoke the hope that's updated

But popularity celebrated

Should I throw in the towel

That caught me tears?

Perform for the crowd and walk the peer

Die a hypocrite

Do what I never said I would

It's time to hit the bricks

True story lied in his book

Said he'll never put fame

Above the name of Jesus

Saints pray for your boy

I'm 'bout to shame the name of Jesus

Lord catch me

I'm on the edge of the window ledge

And you say wait

Not trying to get over just get ahead

But I must wait for it, wait for it, wait for it

I'm sick and tired of the wait

My hourglass an hour pass my time, Lord

Catch me

I'm on the edge of the window ledge

And you say wait

Not trying to get over just get ahead

But I must wait for it, wait for it, wait for it

I'm sick and tired of the wait

My hourglass an hour pass my time, Lord

Lord, this is here the true story, yeah, that's what you want

You said to cast all my cales upon you

So I won't apologize for tellin' you how I feel

Help me to hold on to you, Father

So much is pullin' me away

Help me, You told me to keep it real

Tell you just how I feel

If I'm wrong, please, forgive me

Help me to do your will

Believing while grieving

Mama's no longer here

She passed the torch to

Kesha, now she must catch my tears

Oh Father, look at me

My feet are slipping slowly

Justice threw the book at me

'Cause I failed to live holy

I'm just trying to look happy

An actor Oscar-worthy

Since prison booked my daddy

And doctors told mama to murk me

Suffered pain you couldn't imagine

So fame wouldn't hook this rappin'

I came to cook for the captain

His name's on the book of my tablet

I don't want your glory

Just want to tell my story

How you filled this broken vessel

With so much power you had to pour me

Standing behind the curtain

Lord, when will it open?

Age about to turn my page

I'm still locked and I'm loaded

Here we go, curtains open

It's time to hit the stage

I notice my concerts of people

With a painful praise

I now understand why I had to hurt

Hard and heavy during the wait

You made sure every single bar

Was ready while I wait for it, wait for it, wait for it

I'm so glad you made me wait

Carried my bushel now here's my bag

I now understand why I had to hurt

Hard and heavy during the wait

You made sure every single bar

Was ready while I wait for it, wait for it, wait for it

I'm so glad you made me wait

Carried my bushel now here's my bag
