Текст песни Patient - Quinston Pugh

I just gotta be patient
I been waiting like a patient
Yeah they waiting for a statement
Think they waiting for a statement
But I just gotta be patient
I been waiting like a patient
Tryna take off in the spaceship
Tryna take off in the spaceship

Real proper kid, butter inside of the grits
Couldn't lift, but I was given the talented gift
Blessed with singing, at the meetings, our voices would lift
And I used to play piano, till i had to quit
Smooth Q, man intelligence covered my skull
They told me I could be the president, and have it all
Too naive, I was a dreamer who wrote in the chalk
Ain't see the elevators, put on my shoes and I walked
7th grade did the spelling bee
Working on a better me
Charged up like a battery
Crazy lil kids in my face tryna question me
Don't know what it is, guess ya boy had the recipe
Charismatic on the tv, they were watching me talk
Was most likely to be succeed, and imma answer the call
And imma grind on up although I stumble and fall
I recall, making dreams less ambitious than y'all

Just gotta be patient
God got me and I'm waiting
Even when I ain't worth saving
He tell me I just gotta be patient
Worried if I'm ever gon make it
Wanna see the stars in a spaceship
Guessing I just gotta be patient
Guessing I just gotta be patient

Wish you made it right, before you left
Was outta tune, I saw all the treble in your clef
But I don't live in spite I just reflect
On how to never repeat all the trauma from the past
Smiling through the pain that's in my chest
Cause I still miss you dearly, know from you I learned the best
Somebody patch the bullets in my vest
Not bulletproof, I'm not La Roux
Ain't stronger than the rest

Sad eyes they ain't vibrant, I've been
Crying from the fires like a hydrant
Trying to better myself and I'm lying
Cannibal eat me apart like the Mayans
But all, all this pressure make a Diamond
I been really tryna trust God's timing
Smiling, reflecting and refining
Finding myself in all this mystery

Don't need all of the lavishness
Keep on pushing 'till I'm passing cause I'm passionate

Got that spark now I'm lit up like a candle wick
And my hands got cuts from counting bands and licks

Was influenced by the likes of Good City, Mad Kid
Had music on my mind, as I was dancing out the crib
Knew my worth, even when they made me feel inadequate
Kept on pushing, through the system, when I felt that I should quit

Just gotta be patient
God got me and I'm waiting
Even when I ain't worth saving
He tell me I just gotta be patient
Worried if I'm ever gon make it
Wanna see the stars in a spaceship
Guessing I just gotta be patient
Guessing I just gotta be patient
