I've Been Waiting
C.R.I.$.I.$. Lyrics

I've been
I have experienced

Just so many trouble
Numerous challenges and difficulties

Who would believe me
It's hard for others to understand or believe

Just taking things easy
Approaching life with a relaxed attitude

Fighting those feelings
Struggling with emotions

Trying to find the meaning
Seeking purpose and significance

Fresh outta Gidi with a bundle of cash
Recently coming from Gidi with a significant amount of money

See am trying to celebrate put the twist on grass
Trying to enjoy and have fun, adding excitement to the ordinary

Check it have seen highs and have seen lows
Experiencing both moments of success and moments of failure

Get high when we feeling low and now
Finding happiness in difficult situations

Do many things to see this dough
Taking various actions to acquire money

Maybe I just hide around this fancy cloths
Possibly finding comfort and security in material possessions

Cos when I didn’t have I had a pen and a pad
During times of lack, I relied on writing as my creative outlet

Without a book bag or a reason to brag
Without material possessions and without the need to boast

See now I tell it cos I travel around
Now I share my story because I travel and perform

Performing in front of crowd they be loving the style
Receiving positive reception and admiration from the audience

SA to USA they be loving the P
From South Africa to the United States, they appreciate my talent

NY to LA I got a bunch of freaks
From New York to Los Angeles, I have a group of dedicated fans

They love me and am loving them back
I appreciate and reciprocate the love from my fans

Proud to marry a fan just for having my back
Grateful for the support of my fans, willing to commit to them

Didn't always used to feel good saying I rap
There was a time when I didn't feel confident identifying as a rapper

But anyway this is dedicated to the struggle and days
Nevertheless, this song is dedicated to the hardships and past experiences

Yes boss
An affirmation or agreement

Naeto C
The artist's name or identity

You know my P
Referring to himself, emphasizing his presence or existence

Serious music
This song is sincere and meaningful

WFA world famous
Representing the World Famous Akademy crew

Hard time turn a man to a mover
Difficult circumstances transform a person into someone with determination and action

Talking about pain and you feeling like tuner C
Addressing the topic of pain and relating to feeling like a tuner C (a musical instrument)

Even though I have fake friends
Despite having insincere or unreliable companions

I don't want better cos I still represent
I am content with my current situation because I continue to stand for something

Now if you ain't about rap or sland in two
If you are not involved in rap music or slang culture

You probably had to deal with the shity attitudes
You likely had to handle unpleasant or negative attitudes

I never did malls I did avenues
I didn't spend time at shopping malls, but rather on the streets or smaller venues

Now you can be the judge but who is judging you
Now others can form opinions, but who has the authority to judge you?

See storm put me on cos this issues reform
Being given an opportunity due to the storm (significant event), leading to personal growth

Show this little dudes how they suppose to perform
Teaching younger individuals the correct way to present themselves or perform

Or should I give her when I do it for greed
Should I disregard authenticity and do it solely for personal gain?

And all the little shorties who got something with P (Have been)
Referring to the younger individuals who have a connection or bond with P (the artist)

From the back of the bus
Starting from a less significant position or status

All this young dudes trying to ask wassup (Gidi)
These young individuals inquiring about what's happening in Gidi

Stay willie with a till on the philli
Remaining fashionable with a cash register in Philadelphia

You gat to have swag if you represent the city
Having a stylish and confident demeanor when representing the city

From being broaden house from being mass
Transitioning from being overlooked or disregarded to gaining recognition

I circulate town with my kind of sound
Promoting my unique style of music throughout the town

World famous so the haters have to hate a lot
Being recognized on a global scale, which results in increased negativity from haters

And I ain't worried about the dude trying to take my spot
I am not concerned about someone attempting to replace me

But how this ain't the first joint your boy done did
However, this is not the first successful project I have completed

See now I only do it if am making some sense
Now I only engage in activities if they have a meaningful impact

From being under the ground to being up on the ground
Moving from a position of obscurity to one of prominence

What you know about greyhounds that be making them rounds
Do you understand the experience of tirelessly traveling like greyhounds?

See I strengthen on the field am just paying my bills
I improve and excel in my field, simply earning a living

As long as I keep it real everybody should chill
As long as I remain authentic, everyone should relax

You see now am about the bills so it does get real
Currently, my focus is on earning money, which makes things more serious

So if you ever felt real you know how I feel
If you have ever experienced authenticity, you understand my perspective
