Wait in Vain... - Intellectual

I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love

Yeah

I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love

Yeah yeah

I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love

Yo, just let it ride for a bit, you know?

I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love

No, no, no, no, no no, no, no

I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love

VERSE 1

Time waits for no man or so it has been said

Thus if I sat around with no plan I’d be as good as dead

I can’t have another contentless year

Letting time pass without some new music is my fear

And to be honest man sometimes I’m afraid to jot

Cuz maybe I’m striking when the iron is no longer hot

Maybe my best work has gone to freaking waste

And it’s probably expired beforе you could even get a tastе

There’s a certain patience needed in creating

And a level of appreciation to dilute the hating

And serenity to accept that some things cannot be changed

And these stages and phases are part of life although they’re strange

Don’t wait too long or your dish will be overcooked

Don’t rush either bruh it won’t be ready

Hurry just a bit to catch your blessing

But then win the race by keeping it slow and steady, steady

CHORUS

I don’t wanna wait in vain

I don’t wanna wait in vain, I don’t wanna wait in vain no no

I don’t wanna wait in vain

I’ll be damned if I did, I’ll be damned if I did, no no no no

I don’t wanna wait in vain

I don’t wanna wait in vain, I don’t wanna wait in vain, no no

I don’t wanna wait in vain

No, no

VERSE 2

Love interests? Well I guess i had a few

But I never had the patience to sit and wait in the queue

For them to realise I was the perfect one for them

They be settling for pebbles and be passing up a gem

And still have the audacity to call us trash

And they’re the ones after our energy and freaking cash

And they manipulate us all pretending to be freaking angels

Yet they leave us when it seems we’re about to burn and crash

I ain’t saying we’re all heaven sent

But between me and these F boys you can clearly see the evidence

That I been cut from a different cloth

I could probably give you heaven this planet

I trynna toot my own horn

Because I know

I ain’t heaven sent

But when things are thick as oatmeal don’t seek me

We ain’t got much to talk about I ain’t trynna speak Bih

You already waste days with a lame

So don’t bother with me cuz I no longer feel the same, fam

CHORUS

I don’t wanna wait in vain

I don’t wanna wait in vain, I don’t wanna wait in vain no no

I don’t wanna wait in vain

I’ll be damned if I did, I’ll be damned if I did, no no no no

I don’t wanna wait in vain

I don’t wanna wait in vain, I don’t wanna wait in vain, no no

I don’t wanna wait in vain

No, no

VERSE 3

Sometimes I wonder when my break with truly come

Cuz I spent so many years killing tings and going dumb

On whatever instrumental that was handed but these bums

Still got more shine. How did my rappers overcome

The feeling of feeling like it all might never come true?

And feeling like you’ll fail no matter what you can do?

How are the odds stacked against them but they somehow choose

To get up and freaking tell themselves that they can’t lose?

Cuz despair is something that can really take its toll

On the body and the mind and eventually the soul

Na ukiadisia expectations za paro zenye hutufinya

Kutuambia “Be flexible” wanatufunza kujidinya

But all this pressure is enough reason for me to quit

Such a heavy load to carry it’s a lot of weight

They tell me patience is a virtue when it comes to it

I just hope this dream of mine is really worth the wait

CHORUS

I don’t wanna wait in vain

I don’t wanna wait in vain, I don’t wanna wait in vain no no

I don’t wanna wait in vain

I’ll be damned if I did, I’ll be damned if I did, no no no no

I don’t wanna wait in vain

I don’t wanna wait in vain, I don’t wanna wait in vain, no no

I don’t wanna wait in vain

No, no
