TerminallyILLMusic - How Long Do I Gotta Wait lyrics

[Intro: Nas & Rakim] "I seen so many of the peers I really loved Turn to strugglin' artists because they not benefited Where - it's dudes that ain't got no talent is benefited You know what I'm sayin'? So... It's been there, I'm just bothered up to say." "It was never, um - the money that was my main desire To do this, it was always um - my pa**ion to stand up As amongst of - one of the best." Man - at this point I don't even want the money I just wanna rise, because here it's just - so frustratin' I wanna be out there Let me rise yo, here I go: [Verse 1] Mama says "wait a bit more", friends say I got talent I appreaciate that but that's no outlet for the cycle The Bible shows there's a forgive for The Good Thief Goddamn dawg, so where's my trophy? I say this 'cause I see cats blow away to success Name it jealousy but I only wanted to get blessed With that victory and make heavy history Is to me or that sh** just happens to me? It's a kind of emptiness, a lack drown in a lotery Someone enlisted me and the motherf**er made me win Catch me in the streets thinkin' how to fit These rhymes in these lines to have a lil' benefit Called respect by the concept I gave To friend and foes of Xplicit Damn Man, in my life things where equivalent But now I wonder how long do I gotta wait to say... [Hook] (It's all good, same number, same hood) I don't want the goods You never understood how I want the game But still don't blow away How long do I gotta wait to say (It's all good, same number, same hood) I don't want the goods You never understood how I want the game But still don't blow away How long do I gotta wait [Verse 2] I need a redemption, a savin' election Someone's hand straight to the profession's perfection A bit of perception, please, to lyrical tears No peers cried with music in their ears By no fear, just thoughts of [I] couldn't make this true And I started to refuse to make myself outdo They say it's on you or serch your opportunity Yeah, it's on me but I ain't seein' it comin' in How I'm doin' this if [they] never understood this? So don't criticize if you got your crew, b**h! Trynna be able to do it Heavily inspired by be a misunderstood kid In them kind of things so I try to cranck Surroundin' sh**s and get outta here through the last Chance they give to Eidrien but damn, man My question still is how long do I gotta wait to say... [Hook] (It's all good, same number, same hood) I don't want the goods You never understood how I want the game But still don't blow away How long do I gotta wait to say (It's all good, same number, same hood) I don't want the goods You never understood how I want the game But still don't blow away How long do I gotta wait [Outro] Yo, shout out to everybody out there in their struggle We gon' make it yo, we can't stop now! Keep your head up, keep your head up Keep your head up...
