Waiting Is A Drug
K'naan

So good things comes for those wait, sure

I've waited about pop pop pop pop

That's four cousins shot

I got grudges, let's discust this

My music needs no touch ups

I got a long record of fuck ups, trust me

You don't know who has this weight of mine,

Or a life as hard as mine

I had to hustle, chop, sell drugs, grind

Whatever you wanna call it is fine,

But just listen

And don't prejudge

I don't want anyone dissmissin' me as another thug or some shit like that

No sir, if I fall I will get right back

I got circumstances, but let me stop dancin' around the issue

And tell you straight forward, I'm poor

A refugee been in prison and survived the war

I come from the most dangerous city in this universe

You're likely to get shot at birth

So how could rap quench my thirst?

I don't even hear verses no more!

I hear jerkin' off punks with lip glosses and purses!

I don't see nobody operating shit anymore I see nurses!

Fuck that! I'm gonna stay alive! I'd rather do a stage dive!

And if rap gets jealous

'Cause I rock heavy

It don't worry me if motherfuckers don't get it

Yo if rap gets jealous

'Cause of where I'm headed

I used to be public enemy, don't forget it

And if rap gets jealous, 'cause rock heavy

It don't worry me if motherfuckers don't get it

Yo if rap gets jealous

'Cause of where I'm headed

Aggression! Obsession! With pain! Live a game!

So yeah

Basically I gotta release, occasionally

I gotta let you know what's goin' on with me

And facing me, 'are some tough choices

I got a good side and bad side, inside my head

I hear screams and loud voices

And I can't lie I ain't got shit, I ain't got to brag,

I'm hard pressed for some cash to send to my I'll dad

You're so superficial?, of course it's for shizzle?

Now my choice is to piss on you, boy

'Cause my mission is the world

To know, my name, my aim, is plainly success

But I still gotta come fresh!

So how could rap quench my thirst?

I don't even hear verses no more!

I hear jerkin' off punks with lip glosses and purses!

I don't see nobody operating shit anymore I see nurses!

Fuck that! I'm gonna stay alive! I'd rather do a stage dive!

And if rap gets jealous

'Cause I rock heavy

It don't worry me if motherfuckers don't get it

Yo if rap gets jealous

'Cause of where I'm headed

I used to be public enemy, don't forget it

And if rap gets jealous, 'cause rock heavy

It don't worry me if motherfuckers don't get it

Yo if rap gets jealous

'Cause of where I'm headed

Aggression! Obsession! With pain! Live a game!

That's what it is, it's pain, you know what I'm saying?

I don't know man it's like

You spend years developing your artistry

Know what I'm sayin'? Perfecting your skills

Yeah, you can't do shit with it,

That has gotta be Fucked up!, know what I'm sayin'?

That's gotta be Fucked up, you know

Just imagine like, imagine you build a Fuckin' castle

And you can't live in it, That's what it is

You can't live it, you know

And you got problems, you got family

I got family, moment of truth right?

And I still gotta come fresh!

So how could rap quench my thirst?

I don't even hear verses no more!

I hear jerkin' off punks with lip glosses and purses!

I don't see nobody operating shit anymore I see nurses!

Fuck that! I'm gonna stay alive! I'd rather do a stage dive!

And if rap gets jealous

'Cause I rock heavy

It don't worry me if motherfuckers don't get it

Yo if rap gets jealous

It don't worry me if motherfuckers don't get it

Yo if rap gets jealous
