Wait No More

Verse:
I wanna be a rap star so bad
Perform in front of 50,000 of the livest fans
Travel the world and have foreign people screaming my name
Be known as one of the nicest to ever play the game
I wanna have a house on a hill one day
Rush to the lab and make a hit record with Dr. Dre
Go back and forth just kicking rhymes with Talib and Common
I wanna say "I can't believe the position that I'm in"
I wanna bring home a record breaking number of Grammys
Go on an expensive vacation with the whole family
On summer days the private yacht just might come in handy
Lay in the sun, living a life that's sweeter that candy
And when I dream I be singing duets with A. Keys
And me and Timbo collab to create the sickest beats
But you know what, its sad to me
Cuz when I wake, non of this is reality
And then I hear my inner conscious asking me

Hook:
What are you waiting for
For the moon to turn blue to do what you gotta do
For every dark cloud in the sky to part ways
And let the sunshine down on your life
Tell me what are you waiting for
Cuz if you got a dream then that's all you need
The man in the mirrors the only one that can get in your way
Start today, don't wait no more

Verse 2:
My support system is slim
Sometimes I don't believe in myself
Tempted to put this music thing on shelf
It looks easy on T.V
But when I step into the realm of the industry
My insecurities start to eat me
And listening to the radio doesn't help a bit
Not too many artist now a days I consider legit
And if making music from you soul no longer exist
How can one of my positive messages become a hit, shit
These are the type of questions that's making me think twice
Do I go after my dream or create a safe life
Settle down with a job, kids, and beautiful wife
Or bet it all on one roll of the musical dice
I'm stressed out now, I wanna be the greatest
But with stress on my mind, I can't be creative
Get on my knees and start praying
Then all of a sudden, I hear these voices in my head singing

Eric Thomas Speach:
Pain is temporary
It way last for a minute, or an hour, or a day, or ever a year
But eventually it will subside
And something else will take its place
If I quit however, it will last forever

Verse 3:
I used to sit at home and think my talents will carry me
But having skills don't mean that you have a guarantee
You could be the illest lyricist and never get signed
Or sing a higher note than Mariah and not make a dime
I know now that its my responsibility
As an artist to go hard and lead myself to a victory
I tried a few other careers but music is it for me
Not a mystery that lyricism was God's gift to me
What kind of a man would I be if I didn't utilize it
You can never fulfill your destiny if you deny it
This journey's a roller-coaster and imma choose to ride it
Until I turn it into a plane and guess who's the pilot
I don't think I can wait around no more
If I don't find that door,then I'm gonna create one
Cuz every step in a forward direction's a great one
Nobody's given a dream, you gotta take them, so
