Waste
Jamil Nahdi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Don't waste all you got on a dumb idea
Don't waste all your time on dumb dreams
Don't waste all you got on a dumb idea
Don't waste all your time on dumb dreams

I said maybe my lyrics are week
Maybe I should stop to rhyme
But why come this far just to forget it all
I said why come this far just to forget it all
All All

Don't waste all you got on a dumb idea
Don't waste all your time on dumb dreams
Don't waste all you got on a dumb idea
Don't waste all your time on dumb dreams

I said maybe my lyrics are week
Maybe I should stop to rhyme
But why come this far just to forget it all
I said why come this far just to forget it all
All

Don't waste all you got on a dumb idea
Don't waste all your time on dumb dreams
Don't waste all you got on a dumb idea
Don't waste all your time on dumb dreams

I said maybe my lyrics are week
Maybe I should stop to rhyme
But why come this far just to forget it all
I said why come this far just to forget it all
All All

Don't waste all you got on a dumb idea
Don't waste all your time on dumb dreams
Don't waste all you got on a dumb idea
Don't waste all your time on dumb dreams

I said maybe my lyrics are week
Maybe I should stop to rhyme
But why come this far just to forget it all
I said why come this far just to forget it all
All All

I started a couple of years ago
Hoping I could grow
Yeah hoping I could grow
Working on my flow
Yeah hoping I could grow

Hoping I could grow
Yeah hoping I could grow
Working on my flow
Yeah hoping I could grow

Some don't know what they want
And they don't seem to want, to want

Hey Hey

Some want to learn
Some want to thrive
But some seem to don't
And some won't
Some want to learn
Some want to thrive
But some seem to don't
And some won't
