Wait & Hope

Lyrics

[Intro] Hey I'd like to Welcome you to- I mean... Well, it's self-explanatory Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah Yeah [Verse 1] Can I get a finger snap? Wait, never mind, that's wack Tryna make a million of the million things that you lack Pat those, eat those, am I appealing? Tryna be bigger than world-famous in New Zealand Writin' bars on the way to a bar- am I a drunk poet? That's my life at twenty-one Soul searching at 2:22 AM On a Manhattan-bound train, like fuck it, nigga, I'm young I'm a thousand feet below, [?] waves On my Atlantic sea flow, bones are overthrown slaves Rest at my feet, lately, that's how deep I been Wishin' my enemies a day job and better friends A mortician, more vision than a remote Your favorite rapper's dead, I'm killin' his beats on shuffle mode Damn, and that was me freestylin' I'm a dropout, so when they're sayin' "You're my best friends", all about to graduate from college I'm in the studio, makin' my debut project Everybody cashin' out, but few makin' deposits All my progress and profits depend on my inner conscience Firefighters inquired to the calls of a bonfire Cemetery, and buried, was the body of young Shad Damn, that was Inkie's nigga And now, the small estate got me thinkin' bigger [Hook] I tell my niggas, "Just wait" (I tell my niggas, "Just hope") I tell my niggas, "Just wait", tell my— (I tell my niggas, "Just hope") I tell my niggas, "Just wait" Tell my niggas, "Just hope" (I tell my niggas, "Just hope") "Just wait" Tell my- "Just-", uh (I tell my niggas, "Just hope") [Post-Hook] Just wait, we gon' make it out someday (I tell my niggas, "Just wait", I tell my niggas, "Just hope") And if we don't, well, fuck it, we'll be okay (Ayy, yeah) (I tell my niggas, "Just wait", I tell my niggas, "Just hope") Uh, yeah, tell my niggas just- (Yeah, yeah) (I tell my niggas, "Just wait", I tell my niggas, "Just hope") Tell my, "Just-", wait, wait (Ayy, yeah) (I tell my niggas, "Just hope", I tell my niggas, "Just hope") (I tell my niggas, "Just-") [Verse 2] I dropped this 'cause you niggas needed new topics You know Pharaoh? You more Will Ferrell on Tropics I'm from America, we blame Blacks and Islamics And they shoot gaze when you mention land that they promised If I'm civil, if I'm right, is it a movement? Or would you rather see me Malcom X and fuckin' lose it? I'm loose leaf, but I could never fall makin' music 'Cause I'm blazin' like the summer, some reflectin' off the cubit Zirconium, you niggas so thirsty, so I diluted sodium Who fuckin' with my podium? No one A samurai, shogun, we inhale, no pun Hammurabis cold, they keep their hammers on they clothes Homie, you sold me coke, made it rain on two strippers Shot three niggas, and that was only your first verse But is it worth it? Pussy seems to be the only thing That can make me just forget about the world And my fucked up dreams and my fucked up seams I'm like, "Fuck love! Fuck love! Fuck gettin' cream" You like, "Thug life! Fuck life!" Fuck interning Sendin' free shoes to rappers that I don't like I heard the world wasn't ending, it was just mine They told me "God's like a neverending hotline" At the gallows, tryna get myself to delay the rope But the last page of this book told me, "Wait, and—" [Outro] —Hope, hope Hope, hope Hope, hope Hope, hope Hope, hope Hope, hope Hope, hope Hope, hope"
