Why do they want me to wait
Why shouldn’t I bring the hate
Because my life is at stake
I just need to let my words vent for a second
Cause I really feel threatened
All I want to be is a legend
But people keep telling me to wait
So I’m going to bring the hate
I been writing since I was eight
How long do you want me to wait
I got to make it big before I wait
I got so many things to do
I’m ruthless when I speak because I’m tired of waiting
And I just keep on hating
I didn’t have to wait when I was put on the field
I didn’t have a shield
So don’t tell me to wait
Waiting is why I got so much weight
I just want to be great
But my family bringing the hate
I just dropped the journey collection and I didn’t see no smile
Make me want to run for miles
Or change my style
But why do I got to change me to change you
I change myself once and named myself Delane
Because I thought I was running from my lane
But I’m stuck here like a stain
If you not with me get off the train
Man I’m fed up
I feel like a volcano about to erupt
I am corrupt with anger
I wish I were raised by strangers
Cause right here I feel like I’m in danger
In danger of quitting to fill others need
People mad because I’m a new breed
I guess I wouldn’t have to wait if I do what you want
If I go to culinary school it would be no wait
If I go to college it would be no wait
If I go play college ball it would be no wait
I guess when it’s my own dream then it got to wait
How long should I wait
Maybe I should stop everything
And be nothing
Because God put me here to write
So I must strike
Despite all the odds, I will make it
There is no wait when trying to make it
Did MLK wait
Did Muhammad Ali wait
Do rappers wait
Do football players wait
No, they go and chase greatness
So all the fakeness must wait
While I be great
The wait
