Never done it the way I should So impatient, misunderstood I've always let a girl dictate my feelings, yeah Too distracted, too direct, too numb So I neglect the things I should protect I'm ready for what is next I've made mistakes, you've made a judgement Focused on a life of substance I'm tired of waiting I know I need to face it I'm building, I'm zoned in, I'll never be complacent I'm on the way up, I need to be patient, patient like I've never been Nothing can hold me, I need to be patient, patient like I've never been They say hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait Eyes on the gold and everytime I see the gold I froze Best cards in the fucking deck but I fold It's like I'm stuck in a place that I can't call home And I ain't circling the block no more Why do I do this to myself over and over again? I'm on the way up, I need to be patient, patient like I've never been Nothing can hold me I need to be patient, patient like I've never been I'm on the way up, I need to be patient, patient like I've never been Nothing can hold me, I need to be patient, patient like I've never been And I could almost touch the sky Keep my head down it's my time No feeling done asking why Keep my head down it's my time I'm ready for what is next I'm on the way up, I need to be patient, patient like I've never been Nothing can hold me, I need to be patient, patient like I've never been I'm on the way up, I need to be patient, patient like I've never been Nothing can hold me, I need to be patient, patient like I've never been
