Lyrics IRL - Michael Calvillo

Don't wait for me
Don't wait for me
Don't wait for me
Cause I try
Yes I try

Late nights in the studio
You know what it is
Adobe on the boards, we got these loud ass chairs
I know you hear it
Yeah
Alright
Yuh

With both arms on my head
Gotta stop and check to see if I can feel this shit
Sitting on a gem, I feel the pressure start to move and sift
Looking like I entered all the cheats the way my movement is
That's just how I'm moving kid, I'm cruising not to lose, to win
Been on a wave since I was young, I put the work in
The words go so disgusting cause it flows just like a serpent
Artists hit me up like "ayo bro, let's get to working
I hope that I'm not bugging"
In my mind I say "you sure is"
Gotta stop and think like that was me
I was that person
Who'd hit every DM of people I would like to work with
Most never replied and others ghosted that's for certain
But I never put it down, hoping someone knows what my worth is
I still try
Yeah I still try
Little setbacks where we are but it's all fine
Late-night hours, always working such a grind
It's just the little things we do for peace of mind
That's why I shine
Yeah

Don't wait for me
Don't wait for me
Don't wait for me
In my eyes I feel so pressured
In my eyes there's nothing better
Through the storm of any weather
You can't wait for me forever
I try
Can't forever, I try
Don't wait for me oh no

Someone told me other day that they can't wait to see me
On every billboard, every channel, man that shit sounds easy
Shit I can't wait, I'm in the same boat as the rest
Only difference is we move behind the scenes just oh so freely
Now this shit just don't come easy
I'm an idol, not on TV
And if you knew me really you would see I move discreetly
But I don't put up fronts, you meet me once, you know completely
Surround myself with others who been dreaming, don't mean sleeping
Oh but really
In real life I'm much more sheltered
And I'm often secured
In real life I ain't no extra
But always want more
In real life, it's all work
And maybe sometimes we play
My schedule booked, there ain't no telling when I'm free on a day
In real life I'm not so special
I just work at it more
In real life, I speak my goals
And they show up at my door
My real life ain't that exciting
I don't post about my brags
It's just the simple things in life that keep me here understand
Yeah

Don't wait for me
Don't wait for me oh
Don't wait for me
In my eyes I feel so pressured
In my eyes there's nothing better
Through the storm of any weather
You can't wait for me forever
I try
Can't forever, I try

Ooh in my eyes I feel so pressured
In my eyes there's nothing better
Through the storms of any weather
You can't wait for me forever
I tried
Motherfucker I tried
Yeah
