Oddisee - Delay lyrics

[Hook:] It seems like folks now want it right away They need to slow it down, and ride the wave To act out of haste, the price we pay What's destined 'll come, with slight delay.. slight delay You do stupid sh** when you move too a fast Take a minute to think, and get ya foot off the gas Each and everyone wanna have some fun You're living under the sun, goals we gotta get done [Verse One: yU] We're living in a world where.. We stay in first gear Ain't nobody there, earpiece in they ear At all times, why.. It should be a crime They desensitize you & I for a dime When you see your brotherman Don't nobody say hi, no more What for, got a lot going on Yeah right.. Plus just another red light, sitting still up in traffic, stagnant Madness A thin line between not having, and lavish If I can't earn it, then f** I'll grab it Learned it from America, home of the Slaves Lies legalized if the right price paid, paid Paid off the sweat you losing.. Blessing or a lesson.. Just an illusion And we wonder why we're losing Pause for a second, and let the world keep moving.. [Hook] [Verse Two: Uptown XO] Like I'm a diamond, I'm shining y'all Like I'm a sun, I bring light to y'all Can you imagine me taking a loss Retaliate before taking it all Its been a week, dog.. You taking long U think I'mma let them escape with our Dough when I crept on through Let 'em know I'm a pro, so I couldn't wait two.. More minutes, so n***as know how precious every moment is Don't delay, build up the momentum Cuz the block gonna talk if we don't get them Like Barrack, when I talk.. They all listen Shhhh... listen to 'em laugh when we keep losing Keep proving ourself wrong, we cruising Road to redemption, so we keep moving.. Keep, keep moving [Hook] [Verse Three: Oddisee] Good things come to those who wait, hugh.. I'm trynna escape from, the bottom.. That ba** drum Haste I make from, mistakes done regardless Gotta take from that waste dump the garbage Turning treasure endeavors to try to sever me And cleverly and steadily, heavily making progress I'm one step ahead of me so I'll never be slow, never be loafing I'll never be close to somethin' that I wanted but confronted wit walls If I ain't climbing, I ain't walking, man its nothing to crawl More important. Man, its nothing to fall Cuz a brother's bouncing back like I'm dunking a ball Resilience is brilliance, trust me Its real in the field, hit hard.. n*gga, rugby.. Nothing to guard you from the ugly, truth What u want me to say, take time.. delay.. [Hook]
