Lyrics Patience - Alex Cross

Im the example of when you work hard
And that shit really pay off
Dedicated to my craft
I didn't take a day off yeah
Now I'm noticed by the big names
This might be my way out
5 in the morning, Im working
Sleeping done got played out yeah
I set an example for all my niggas
I know they rooting for me back at home
Don't be afraid
If I give you my word
Just know Im firm and Im standing on it
I taught my nigga to talk up in code on the phone
You don't know who be tapping on it
I used to look up to certain producers
But now all of they beats I be rapping on it (Yeah)
I-240 Im rolling (Burgers and lobster)
Man who would've thought I'd run into Frank Ocean
Was just in New York
Took a flight out to Philly
Now Im In LA like a Trojan
Was just in New York
Took a flight out to Philly
Now Im In LA like a Trojan (Yeah)

Look how far I done came up
Flashbacks in my head (Uhh huh)
I remember you changed up
Cartiers on my eyes (Uhh huh)
To cover the pain up
No I can't take you home tonight
Cause you not my main one (Yeah Yeah)
I was attracted to that bust down
Ian want no plain one (Ice)
They looked surprised when I told em I'd make it
I seen it like Raven
Im high in the clouds
I look out the window like what a sensation
I knew that I'd make it this far
But the one I needed was patience (Yeah yeah)

8 days 5 cities I'm mobile
State to state wit it
Always knew I wasn't local (Yeah)
Pops had doubt in the rap
So he tried teaching me all about automotives (Yeah)
I found some cap in his rap
Cant get features from me cause I know that he bogus (Yeah)
Wreck from the side
Didn't think it was bad
But come to find out it was totaled
God keep giving me signs
9 times out of 10
I know the answer but you keep lying
Thoughts in my head of you giving up on me
Constantly on rewind
Thoughts in my head of you giving up on me
Running through my mind
Fought for your love
In return you went absent
Caught liking pictures
She sending attachments
You came with this energy
Im here to match it
Letting you go cause right now I feel stagnant
More focused than ever
Find someone to nag to
Don't state your opinion cause I didn't ask you
Gwap in the safe but still got some to flash you
When you on top
They gone find ways to bash you (Yeah)

Look how far I done came up
Flashbacks in my head (Uhh huh)
I remember you changed up
Cartiers on my eyes (Uhh huh)
To cover the pain up
No I can't take you home tonight
Cause you not my main one (Yeah Yeah)
I was attracted to that bust down
Ian want no plain one (Ice)
They looked surprised when I told em I'd make it
I seen it like Raven
Im high in the clouds
I look out the window like what a sensation
I knew that I'd make it this far
But the one I needed was patience (Yeah yeah)
