Patience
What if you just wasted
Patience
What if you didn't take it the opportunity you saw
And the chance you had all of it was lost
What if you don't make it
PatienceWhat if you just wasted
Patience
What if you didn't take it the opportunity you saw
And the chance you had all of it was lost
Tell me am I wasting my time
Doing what being on the grind
Doing what I don't know I don't mind
If you tell me that I've lost my mind
I got to be honest I don't know what I'm doing
Is this really my calling or am I clueless
Am I going to be a rapper or a pastor or the two
Man I'm so confused on what I should really do
Am I going to be on this 9 to 5
Sometimes it's hard to feel like
I'm doing right especially by my wife
In here sitting up all night
Conflicted
Wonder if these lyrics
Will ever touch a soul
Will they even hear it
Will they hear you and how you've been to me
Or am I crazy trying to chase this dream
What if you don't make it
Patience
What if you just wasted
PatienceWhat if you didn't take it the opportunity you saw
And the chance you had all of it was lost
Tell me am I wasting my time
Doing what being on the grind
Doing what I don't know I don't mind
If you tell me that I've lost my mind
Don't see fruition after time and time again
Maybe I wasn't meant for it or maybe this the end
Maybe I pretend like all my friends like what I do
Or maybe I depend on what comes in is based on how I do
All the while forgetting God it's always been you
Man I be tripping cus every good gift is from you
You're a Father who takes care of his kids
No matter if I'm broke or I'm rich
That's not what's going to fulfill this
It's only you
What if you don't make it
Patience
What if you just wasted
Patience
What if you didn't take it the opportunity you saw
And the chance you had all of it was lost
What if you don't make it
Patience
What if you just wasted
Patience
What if you didn't take it the opportunity you saw
And the chance you had all of it was lost
