Issa Gold - Patience lyrics

[Verse 1] As a kid, I was taught having patience is a virtue But in waiting for the future, frustration could destroy you Try to wait for your time, but you end up in a circle Ain't it funny how a virtue could just turn around and hurt you? Tryna wait for love to come, but the pain stay consistent Like waiting for your gifts to have a disappointing Christmas Like working ten years and ain't achieving nothing different Like reaching for your goals, getting closer but you miss 'em The point guard for the light stood at the podium Preach about the future like we cruise in the DeLorean Solace McFly, push the pedal for the sovereign Fuel to raise off the aura to fill the auditorium Was born a son of man, but Godly put the gift in hands Geometrically, I'm turning diamonds out of pentagrams Solace cool the atmosphere just like a global ceiling fan Blossom like a daffodil, my pollen, it could heal a man [Chorus] It get hard being patient when you tryna get it in (Yeah, yeah) I got visions of my future, I been tryna get my wish (Yeah, yeah) Had some things inside my life, I had to change, I made 'em flip (Yeah, yeah) Now I'm waiting for my blessings, I been patient with the sh*ts (Yeah, yeah) It get hard being patient when you tryna get it in (Yeah, yeah) I got visions of my future, I been tryna get my wish (Yeah, yeah) Had some things inside my life, I had to change, I made 'em flip (Yeah, yeah) Now I'm waiting for my blessings, I been patient with the sh*ts (Yeah, yeah) [Verse 2] The winter took long as we waited for the summer Tryna hold the times we love, and be scared of what's to come up Keep the memories we want and forgettin' all the others Gotta praise every part, like give some love to the drummer It take time for the come-up Being patient feel like waiting for the sun to break the thunder It's the nine months of pain before a girl becomes a mother It's the blood, sweat, and tears that it takes to make you bubble Time moves slow when the worst's in your face And it tend to speed up when the best take it's place It's like days when I'm good always seem to slip away Then the long nights come and I'm thinking 'bout the pain I woke up real early on Capital STEEZ Day Playing out the last time I saw him on replay Remember telling him that things would be okay He looked at me with a tear, like this sh*t won't change I wish I knew the words that could've kept him on this Earth But it's hard when you hiding your heart under your shirt You supposed to wear it on your sleeve where everybody could see it But I put mine in the dream when people 'round me need it That's selfish, life is 'bout growing as a collective But we live inside our shells, and honestly, I respect it If you don't protect your neck, these ni**as snatchin' your necklace And you know you need your jewels, or they overthrow you from rule [Chorus] It get hard being patient when you tryna get it in (Yeah, yeah) I got visions of my future, I been tryna get my wish (Yeah, yeah) Had some things inside my life, I had to change, I made 'em flip (Yeah, yeah) Now I'm waiting for my blessings, I been patient with the sh*ts (Yeah, yeah) It get hard being patient when you tryna get it in (Yeah, yeah) I got visions of my future, I been tryna get my wish (Yeah, yeah) Had some things inside my life, I had to change, I made 'em flip (Yeah, yeah) Now I'm waiting for my blessings, I been patient with the sh*ts (Yeah, yeah) [Verse 3] I waited for the plants to grow strong, kept believing Put the seeds into the ground and hope we had a rain season I been sittin' on the porch every morning to the evening It get hard being patient, I been running out of reasons Thought I followed all the steps and read all the right things But I learned everything we can't control, like when it rains Or when a loved one is late, or the time of the day Or the way that people treat you, know that you are not to blame
