Patience

I was taught that patience is a virtue

I wish it were true

But sitting and waiting it only comes back to hurt you

I feel like destinations are greatest when you the first to

Reach it

Wise words from a hypocritical teacher

I won't take a shot if I stay in the bleachers

But maybe overlooked it and patience means something deeper

Whole time down

Man I thought I needed patience

Patience

But I started seeing profit as soon as I lost it

I gotta move cuz a cough can turn into a coffin

Like my homie, got the call and man the shit was shocking

I was shakin

Wanna bring my homies

But the train its gotta leave the station

Learned from Tre that that's the only way

That we can ever make it

And I believe you bro

I see you choo choo chuggin

But besides him pretty much my whole crew buggin

Saying that I got is me being modest

You can't name a single person that I couldn't body

I know I'm getting off topic

I'm aware of my potential

Know progressions incremental

Why is mine so incidental

I been fighting with my mental

Don't know if got the mettle

But I hope I do

I got some questions if you got some answers

Why don't I chase the things that I'm after

Quarter century and patience only thing I've mastered

So I been mixing

I know they tired of hearing me cry about places I should be

Burnt wicks for Chadwick repurpose this wasted energy

Impatience the disease and jealousy is the symptom

Westernized mind, can only rest when I sleep

Man I need patience

Patience

I got potential to spare, well that's potential despair

It's rare a **** meet a risk He's willing to take

Mistakes made by shots that I wasn't willing to miss taken

The mark of a man is how he deals with adversity

Feel like isolation got the worst of me

I could go to God but them thoughts never occurred to me

They think I got this drive but I barely got my learners B

Patience cometh from tribulation so I plead to y'all earnestly

Them thoughts burning me

If cream make it to the top then let these ashes be my trampoline

Make it there by any means

Scream it from the mezzanine

This zone made a better me

To and fro from my comfort zone

the place i go to espace doubles as an escape room

One way through and you aint making it far without drive

I always had the keys but these door lock from the outside
