Patience (What Is That?) Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
My nigga copped and flipped a full fifth of dope
Tote my dreams mac 10
With a full clip of hope
Been fuckin with my mojo
Ever since I've gone solo

And my girl been cuttin down on all that bullshit to cope
The government got strings to pull
Get a rope and tie a slipknot
Ideas sendin chills down my throat
Goofy niggas, stuntin lookin clear for the poke
Bro don't get shot
They comin for your wrist watch
I pick locks..
Cause sometimes all the doors ain't open
I'm tryna seize the day, nah bitch I ain't foldin
They say don't fix it if it ain't broken
Now I'm sittin tryna find a better way
To say the message resonates
I play my hand like they dealt it
Delta.. Fly as fuck
Spit fire on wax don't melt it
Said this a hunned times, but the squad right behind me
And I'll be on the grind till a muhfucka sign me

[Hook:]
Ay bitch, I'm tryna get mine..
Been toilin' towards greatness
I want it right now..
What the fuck is patience?
And since I'm on the grind
Know that I ain't got time for the bullshit
Da boy droppin bangers and the squad dodgin bullets

Verse 2:
My nigga copped and flipped a full fifth of dope
Tote my dreams mac 10
With a full clip of hope
Been fuckin with my inner me
Starin down my enemy

Got clean, had to let go of that bullshit to cope
I got the team pullin strings
Get a rope and tie a slipknot

Fuck love, my biggest fear's livin broke
Niggas claimin tribe, lackin knowledge - understanding
And from what I understand, you ain't the mans
You ain't know?
My task is simple
Get sick enough to make ends up
Repented for all my sins
But revenge is still my intents
Re-ammended, printed and sent
I'm preventin niggas from winnin
Till envy becomes a synonym
Shoulda never befriended them
I'm center stage grinnin
Cast my lots upon they souls
They was lost from the beginnin
Peep hoes, you can decode
The secrets which have been hidden in
My freehand prose
Psychadelic Mind-Fuck bars
I freehand those

And now these veterans
Questionin my intelligence
They better know they and they destination
Cause I speak in rhetoric
Test it and get beheaded..
I'll make a question mark of you exclamations like..
[Hook:]
Ay bitch, I'm tryna get mine..
Been toilin' towards greatness
I want it right now..
What the fuck is patience?

And since I'm on the grind
Know that I ain't got time for the bullshit
Da boy droppin bangers and the squad dodgin bullets x2

[Verse 3:]
These niggas tryna push they bullshit as dope
Failed this crack test scam
And my mac just jammed...

So now I'm lookin towards the pulpit to cope
But the meanin ain't shit
Just a swing and a miss
How demeaning...

Fucking with my demeanor and shit
Now I'm contemplating picking up a nina and shit
..Just to find a way to make it useful
I'm 17 but lately, nothing makes me feel youthful
And as the clock turns, we all lose a little bit of hope
It's all goin downhill and there's no ending in the slope
I look into my mirror and I'm askin me to quit
But my future is a toss up, and gravity's a bitch
[Hook:]
