Wait For You
Kanye West & Future Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Early in the mornin', late at night (I will wait for you)
It don't even matter what time it is (I will wait for you)
Presidential Rollie already on the way (higher, sayin', aye, yi, yi, yi)
Whenever I find time, it's okay (ayy)
(ATL Jacob, ATL Jacob)
You pray for my demons, girl, I got you
I'm knowin' the sounds of the storm when it come
She understand I can't take her everywhere a nigga goin'
I been in the field like the children of the corn
I can hear your tears when they drop over the phone
Get mad at yourself 'cause you can't leave me alone
Gossip, bein' messy, that ain't what we doin' (world was endin')
Travel around the world (would you cry or would you try to get me?)
Over the phone, droppin' tears (tell me now, I want you to be clear, yeah)
I get more vulnerable when I do pills (tell me now, I need you to be clear, yeah)
When you drunk, you tell me exactly how you feel (I will wait for you, for you)
When I'm loaded, I keep it real (I will wait for you, I will wait for you)
Need to tell a real one exactly what it is (I will wait, will wait, for you, for you)
Don't say it, 'cause you know that's what I wanna hear (I will wait for you, I will wait for you)
Yeah, I been trappin' 'round the world
I sit on my balcony and wonder how you feelin'
I got a career that takes my time away from women
I cannot convince you that I love you for a livin' (will wait for you, for you)
I be on your line, feelings flowin' like a river
You be textin' back, you at Kiki On The River (I will wait for you)
Message say delivered (I will wait for you), but I know that you don't get it
Why you introduce us if you knew that you was with him? (I will wait for you, for you, for you)
Made me shake his hand when y'all been fuckin' for a minute (I will wait for you, for you)
Walk me off the plank because you know that I'm a swimmer (I will wait for you)
Supposed to be your dog, but you done put me in a kennel
Girl, put a muzzle on it, all that barkin' over dinner
I was fuckin' with you when you had the tiny presidential
You got better when you met me and that ain't coincidental
Tried to bring the best out you, guess I'm not that influential
Guess I'm not the one that's meant for you
I can hear your tears when they drop over the phone
Get mad at myself 'cause I can't leave you alone
Gossip in messages, that ain't what we doin', yeah (world was endin')
Trappin' around the world (would you cry or would you try to get me?)
Over the phone, droppin' tears (tell me now, I want you to be clear, yeah)
I get more vulnerable when I do pills (tell me now, I need you to be clear, yeah)
When you drunk, you tell me exactly how you feel (I will wait for you, for you)
When I'm loaded, I keep it real (I will wait for you, I will wait for you)
Need to tell a real one exactly what it is (I will wait, will wait, for you, for you)
Don't say it, 'cause you know that's what I wanna hear (I will wait for you, I will wait for you)
Early in the mornin', late at night
It don't even matter what time it is
World was endin', would you cry or would you try to get me?
Tell me now, I want you to be clear, yeah
In the lyrics of "Wait For You" by Kanye West and Future, the song portrays a complex and at times tumultuous relationship. The repeated phrase "I will wait for you" suggests a sense of loyalty and commitment despite the challenges faced within the relationship. The song opens with a declaration of unwavering dedication, regardless of the time or circumstances. The mention of a "Presidential Rollie already on the way" emphasizes a sense of luxury and extravagance, but also suggests a sense of waiting for something significant or meaningful.
The lyrics delve into themes of vulnerability and struggle within the relationship. Future expresses his vulnerability when under the influence of substances, like codeine, suggesting that it is in those moments that he opens up and reveals his true emotions. He acknowledges the difficulties of his lifestyle and the limitations it places on his ability to fully commit or be present for his partner. The imagery of being in the field like "the children of the corn" suggests a sense of isolation or being trapped in a certain reality.
The lyrics also touch upon moments of conflict and misunderstanding in the relationship. Future reflects on the emotional turmoil experienced over the phone, where tears are shed and deep conversations take place. There is a sense of frustration and longing present, as well as a desire for clarity and honesty in communication. The mention of gossip and messy behavior highlights the external pressures and challenges faced by the couple, adding to the strain on their connection.
Towards the end of the song, there is a sense of reflection and introspection. Future contemplates the distance between himself and his partner, both physically and emotionally. He questions the depth of their bond and expresses a feeling of inadequacy in being able to fully express his love. The imagery of sitting on a balcony pondering the other’s feelings and the mention of missed opportunities for genuine connection further emphasize the complexities and challenges within the relationship. Despite the struggles and uncertainties, the refrain of "I will wait for you" continues to echo throughout the song, underscoring a sense of hope and endurance in the face of adversity.

She knows I can't bring her along on every journey
I been in the field like the children of the corn
I have been through difficult times like those in a horror movie
I can hear your tears when they drop over the phone

Get mad at yourself 'cause you can't leave me alone
You are frustrated with yourself for being unable to detach from me
Gossip, bein' messy, that ain't what we doin' (world was endin')
We don't engage in rumors or drama -- focusing on more significant matters

It's important to communicate honestly with someone genuine
Don't say it, 'cause you know that's what I wanna hear
Don't just say what you think I want to hear, be sincere
Yeah, I been trappin' 'round the world
I have been hustling and working hard internationally
You got better when you met me and that ain't coincidental
Your improvement after meeting me is no mere accident
Tried to bring the best out you, guess I'm not that influential
Efforts to help you succeed may not have been as impactful as hoped
Guess I'm not the one that's meant for you
Perhaps our destinies are not aligned

Response to Drake verse...
She was willing to wait for you too,
Didn't realize your attempt to pursue,
The meeting that should have taken place is far overdue,
Maybe she's just waiting on you,
You expected her to sit tight,
But that just dulls her light,
Everyone woman gets pushed to fight or flight,
Maybe she didn't feel like she was in your sight,
Line of vision getting blurred,
Basing it off actions and not on words,
Lyrically you sing your heart out,
But maybe she has no idea what you're really about,
She introduced you to second best,
Hoping you'd pass the test,
Real friendships don't die,
So the kennel was a sign for you to try,
Walking you down the plank,
Was the nice way to make you think,
Making sure you get the message before you sink,
The realization of what could have been,
Started turning into what should have been,
Better make one more move,
If she's worth it to you you gotta prove,
Before she makes her next move,
Before this girl you finally lose.

[Intro]
I will wait for you, for you
Early in the mornin', late at night (I will wait for you)
It doesn't even matter what time it is (I will wait for you)
Presidential Rollie already on the way (Tired, sayin', "Aye, yi, yi, yi")
Whenever I find time, it's okay (Ayy)

[Verse 1]
You pray for my demons, girl, I got you
Every time I sip on codeine, I get vulnerable
I'm knowin' the sounds of the storm when it come
She understand I can't take her everywhere a nigga going
I been in the field like the childrеn of the corn
[Chorus]
I can hear your tears whеn they drop over the phone
Get mad at yourself 'cause you can't leave me alone
Gossip, bein' messy, that ain't what we doing (Worried 'bout a Xanny)
Travel around the world (Would you brag, or would you try to get me?)
Over the phone, dropping tears (Tell me now, I know that you be braggin')
I get more vulnerable when I do pills (Tell me now, I need you so bad, yeah)
When you drunk, you tell me exactly how you feel (I will wait for you, for you)
When I'm loaded, I keep it real (I will wait for you, I will wait for you)
Please tell a real one exactly what it is (I will wait, will wait, for you, for you)
Don't say it 'cause you know that's what I wanna hear (I will wait for you, I will wait
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I been trappin' 'round the world
I sit on my balcony and wonder how you feelin'
I got a career that takes my time away from women
I cannot convince you that I love you for a livin' (Will wait for you, for you)
I be on your line, feelings flowin' like a river
You be textin' back you at Kiki on the river (I will wait for you)
Message say delivered (I will wait for you), but I know that you don't get it

Supposed to be your dog, but you done put me in a kennel
Girl, put a muzzle on it, all that barkin' over dinner
I was fuckin' with you when you had the tiny Presidential
You got better when you met me and that ain't coincidental
Tried to bring the best out you but, guess I'm not that influential
Guess I'm not the one that's meant for you
[Chorus: Drake, Tems & Future]
I can hear your tears when they drop over the phone
Get mad at myself 'cause I can't leave You alone
Gossip, bein' messy, that ain't what we doing, yeah (Worried 'bout a Xanny)
Trappin' around the world (Would you brag, or would you try to get me?)
Over the phone, dropping tears (Tell me now, I know that you be braggin')

Please tell a real one exactly what it is (I will wait, will wait, for you, for you)
Don't say it 'cause you know that's what I wanna hear (I will wait for you)
[Outro: Future & Tems]
Early in the mornin', late at night
It don't even matter what time it is
Worried 'bout a Xanny, would you brag, or would you try to get me?
