Menkare - Patience Lyrics

They wouldn't pick up the phone when I call
But they calling me back when they hear that I'm on
Off of that ledge and I jumped too soon
Love's steady sharp as a dark harpoon
They weren't hearing me back in the room
Beautiful visions with paper maches
Smoking a blunt for the stress that I saved
Everything's clear when I smoke that loud
Found myself when I turned 16
I lived on my lonely it felt like a dream
I had a girl and I had her for years
Ducking the crushing, ain't trusting the tears
I had a girl and I should've held close
Close with the fam and we doing the most
Now we don't talk like we finna be strangers
Fell in love but this shit's so

Taking the credit for all of the change
I promise I'll make it out, staying the same
Putting my n*ggas in better positions
Taking the money, investing in visions
Stopping the killing, start loving each other
Showing that love that you show to your mother
I gotta make sure all my family is fed
I wanna live strong, getting wealthy instead
I wanna famous, I wanna be rich
Cuz no one can say that I ever had switched
All of the people just lacking the focus
I was on top, then they fall and I noticed
Writing the songs that be stuck in head
Cuz I was so suicidal on the meds
Dropping the songs, I'm tryna get bigger
Building it up and then double the figures
They wouldn't give me the time for the listen
Now I got Cubans and all of them glisten
I got all of this shit but I'm letting it go
I'm really not happy I'm letting you know
This life is worth living on every occasion
Focus on you and your motor to make it
Education, I've been waiting but you gotta have this
Patience, I do this for the kids with they assed out feelings
I do this for the feinds on the street pain sippin'
No real God in the sky saying Hi to him
All I see is opps on the block saying Bye to him
Kids on the street making fun of him
But the little they know, he was just like them
Then I talked to that man for a couple of minutes
I threw him a five, I hope he doing better right now
But, I gotta have Patience

Yeah, I can see the crowd and I can see the faces
Missing Mali but he's never changing
He only hit me for the studio
But he never asks me what I'm really facing
20 year and now I'm growing up
People use me like a brillo pad
They gon hear me when I'm blowing up
They gon see what they really had
Now, I gotta put fault to what I did
God takes, homie God gives
Patience
