[Chorus: Wave Matthews] They've been waiting Because they got love for your boy They say I can be the greatest So I'ma give them what they want They've been waiting ‘Cause they got love for your boy They say I can be the greatest So I'ma give them what they want [Verse: College Smart] I… am… back… You ever been so down That you feel like you've lost your mind? Don't wanna talk ‘cause you know that The words will be too hard to find And when they say “you'll be just fine” you flip ‘Cause it feels like the millionth time? Make you wanna just pack your sh** And quit and leave everything you had behind? I had to... breathe… (gasp) Hard to explain my reasoning Got a whole lot to say, believe me But this rap sh** has never been easy For me, see, this ain't just a game The story of my life is written on these pages And I didn't really feel right saying how I felt When I knew all of y'all woulda thought I went crazy But now I'm out the dark Stopped asking myself how much time was lost Been typing these lines ‘til my eyes are glossed They'll see where I been when my rhymes accost All the cats from the past that tried to brush me off When I gave them my time and they cut me off My turn to be the boss, b**h, f** the cost Had Pav tell Wave it's time to dust me off ‘Cause what's crazy is they just hating 'Cause they f**ed around and got old You're goddamn right I'm frustrated These s**as jaded my soul But I'm married to the game, I stick to vows I've been getting it in while y'all dick around Too afraid to commit so you're pussing out That's why I'm coming in and y'all pulling out, woo! [Hook: Wave Matthews] They've been waiting ‘Cause they got love for your boy They say I can be the greatest So I'ma give them what they want They've been waiting ‘Cause they got love for your boy They say I can be the greatest So I'ma give them what they want [Verse: College Smart] I remember the feeling of ripping the mic For the first time seeing all my goals in sight sh** was so real, my homies in crowd We we're dreaming of our names in lights But something changed in me It was stage fright, or I'm afraid of heights But I lost my hope for life Until I couldn't doze at night with these poltergeists They creeping, haunting, screaming things I've seen in dreams and ceased in fear Of being lost at sea Or even sleeping underneath the mare But now I see it clear They were saying everything I needed to hear ‘Cause somewhere along the way I conceded to believing that I couldn't be me here But I had to come back at last this year And I'm packed with my gat raps, blasting ears On track, hit the gas ‘til I crash, I hear if I ain't first, I'm last While I'm here, I wanna go fast, have cats in the rear view mirror I snapped my a** in gear, put fear in the past, I'm pa**ing clear Of my peers ‘til I'm backed with claps and cheers And I ain't f**ing with promoters that s** to me I've never been down with their f**ery Only hear from them when they want something from me Say they f** with me but they don't f** for free! Cause they be on that hoe sh** But I don't act like I know, I know, I know ‘Cause they know that I don't owe sh** I don't owe nothing at all, at all, at all Wave, tell ‘em [Hook: Wave Matthews] They got love for the boy, yea, yea, yea They got love for the boy, yea, yea, yea They got love for the boy, yea, yea, yea They got love for the boy, yea, yea, yea [Verse: College Smart] They see me the same like I ain't changed Like I ain't aged and I ain't rearranged Like after all this time, no maturation Like I even needed their affirmation I'm past the hating, it's fascinating These a**es act like they know I'm aggravated, these accusations Exacerbating my woes Exasperated from hoes who Exaggerate my M.O But they'll have to wait while I snatch the stage I'm draped in all black, I rob it like whoa! [Chorus: Wave Matthews] They've been waiting ‘Cause they got love for your boy They say I can be the greatest So I'ma give them what they want They've been waiting ‘Cause they got love for your boy They say I can be the greatest So I'ma give them what they want [Hook: Wave Matthews] They got love for the boy, yea, yea, yea They got love for the boy, yea, yea, yea They got love for the boy, yea, yea, yea They got love for the boy, yea, yea, yea
