My baby don’t waste no time calling me mister, yeah

I figure don’t waste no time if you ain’t trying to be different

My baby don’t waste no time calling me mister, yeah

I figure don’t waste no time

The weight upon my shoulders keeps on bearin’ down on me

It’s getting heavy by the day, it’s getting harder by the week

Someone must cook the supper when you’re building family

And I been cookin’ up something special callin’ it personal recipe

My obligation to be patient has evaded me

It seems that most humanity’s abandoned in complacency

I assure you I’m inducing daily what it takes to see

All this frustration that’s built up upon the Lake Erie

I will never tolerate or promulgate the fakery

Not for all the flower in the bakery, its sacred

Real dudes pay their dues while the cowards want to pay for it

Fake’s the only way that you can label it

I’d rather be arrested for protesting ‘round the townhall

Then second guessing everything and waiting for the groundhog

Every single second is a blessing if you count ’em all

Beckoning my own day of reckoning, the downfall

I sit and lie awake I could never fall for

The fake sounds of waves on a sleep machine

All I hear is trains and all I can do is

Look forward

My baby don’t waste no time calling me mister, yeah

I figure don’t waste no time

Helta-skelta burn sage, still I’m feeling like a butterfly in a cage

My neighbor told me he’s depressed, he’s in 6th grade

Hole in my pocket often droppin’ the change

For some instant gratification, never can patiently wait

I want to start a new life somewhere

Or maybe move to California but I can’t afford the airfare

In fact I can’t even afford to breathe the air there

(How could you understand?)

You’re in the clouds, a care bear

Fair is fair, you’re father’s rich and mines not

All the affluence is influence especially to the cops

If even half of us with incidents spoke up without the indifference

In minutes all the power-driven ignorance could stop

Instead of exercising privilege excessively in the present

Inhibiting our own levity, pivoting on our message

When civilly its accepted to never question the evidence

We’re losing our potential for development look forward

I sit and lie awake I could never fall for

The fake ass shit on the TV screen

All I want is change, all I can do is

Look forward

My baby don’t waste no time calling me mister, yeah

I figure don’t waste no time
