Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen to me
I can't wait to see you
I can't wait to be you
I can't wait

The pain's on me
I can't wait to be you
I can't wait to see you
I can't wait

Waiting's what we do
Not enough to give 'nough to you
Wish there was a place we remained since
A place where we could rest and we would know

The pain's on me
I can't wait to be you
I can't wait to feel you
I can't wait

Listen to me
I can't wait to see you
I can't wait to be you
I can't wait

It shouldn't take so long
Something that's so real to come along
I feel the pull
But I can't pay the price
That don't make it right
I'm here alone

What's left of me
I can't wait
I'm done here
And won't stay
Longer
And I can't wait

Listen to me
Is it right to be here
I can't fight
Can't win on my ground

Pain is what we do
Got enough to make some more for you
I can take so much before I bleed
Knowing what's the stake its all I do

The singer is feeling defeated by the waiting game and wishes to be in the position of someone who has already achieved their dreams and goals. The repetition of “I can't wait to be you” and “I can't wait to see you” speaks to a desire for change and a longing for the feeling of accomplishment.

@AngryLittleAmericans

I swear to God "No Fear" Goes waaaaay too hard

@Ty1Brown2Studioz3

This is such a classic tape . All of em are , the fourth tape i wasn’t a fan of . Volume 3 was the last of the decent ones . Just my opinion

@AlienRenegadeVideos

The fourth one wasn't a Hip-Hop Docktrine tape. It was a completely unrelated tape commissioned by Adult Swim that focused a lot on local Atlanta talent. That's why that one was different from these ones. I actually liked it. Different, but still fit the Boondocks vibes.

@Ty1Brown2Studioz3

Alien.Renegade Videos hey i stand corrected , but what i will say is , the first three just had that original Boondocks feel to them (in my opinion) , although i did like some cuts from the 4th tape ..

@trynchlyfetwyn

Yep and 5 is ok too if you haven't heard it yet 4 was crap completely
