I been waiting for day- no I’ve been waiting for this minute/
The weak say what’s in mind- but the brave say what they feeling/
And I’m running out of time- I doubt I’ll meet my children/
They say I’m next in line- but I don’t see the fucking vision/
The shit was just a dream until I went and lived it/
They took me overseas- and I then proved that I could kill it/
But time and time again – I felt confused and almost quit it/
Mothafucka happy ending lord I need a new beginning/
Never give yo heart to women- cause them hoes know how break it/
And it ain’t bout yo position- its about how well you play it/
It ain’t bout yo religion- its about how strong yo faith is/
It don’t matter what his name is- cause we all in need of saving/
They told me look for god- but I only found the devil/
And just cause I ain’t a slave- don’t mean that I’m a rebel/
And just cause my ass ain’t paid- don’t mean I ain’t the greatest/
Van Gogh only sold one painting- and he ain’t live to be famous/
You can say I’m under rated- but I’m patient and in time/
The one’s who turned they backs gon have face it- when I shine/
Just like the fucking strip in Vegas- they could hate me when I die/
I’ma live on through they playlist- drop the beat I come alive/
Mothafuck living a lie- ask about me I’m the truth./
Everytime I pass em by- mothafuckas just salute/
And every time I spit a line- I feel those mothafucka move/
And I cannot ever deny that I am thankful for it too/
HOOK
This is lightning in a bottle- treasure in a chest/
Lost within the moment- this is pleasure at its best/
Our only enemy is time- the last time that I checked/
And once again that proves that I am human in the flesh/
VERSE 2
But I don’t I think I owe you shit- like who the fuck is you?/
You say that you my chick? Who the fuck is boo?/
You better come correct- and what you say better be true/
Because last time that I checked- you told me we were through/
Emotionally a wreck- and spiritually too/
Everything I did- I did that shit for you/
When everything you said- wasn’t everything you’d do/
In the mothafucking end I hope you see what you gon lose/
Cause I swear I kept it real- but I ain’t never have to/
Yo pussy is a bonus- but yo heart is what I’m after/
The feelings that reside I try to hide em all the through laughter/
Better keep yo pace up cause one day it’s gonna catch up/
HOOK
I hope he never treat you like you treat me/
I hope he never see you how you see me/
Replaceable- baby its unmistakable- all your actions unchangeable/
And karma is a bitch so you better pray you unbreakable/
To say the truth- yo make up- could never make up the fake in you/
I hope one day you wake up and notice that there’s a change in you/
Break up all this potent- and wait for the day it faces you/
You losing all yo people- yo friends can’t even relate to you/
But I won’t wait for you- fuck I look like? Protein?/
I’m on my way and you only up in my way won’t you/
Stay the fuck from my waiting room/
Please- now baby I’m on knees- and begging for you to leave/ (leave, leave, leave)
Now back to chasing you- this what the game’ll do/
But I don’t understand why the fuck I’m here tryna play it through/
All the time we spent- it was really time that was wasted/
This is what you call “The End”- ain’t no sequels up in the making/
