Chris Patrick Patience
[Intro]
Cool
[Verse 1]
Overthinking all my simplest thoughts, when did I start second-guessing?
At what point did I look at myself and get flooded with all of these questions?
Where did a nigga go wrong? When am I gon' see a win?
What if the label decide to cut me from the budget 'cause niggas just don't think I'm him?
[Chorus]
I'm just tryna stay patient
Practicing keepin' my patience
Shorty helpin' with the patience
Days like this, I feel like God just tryna test a nigga patience
Restless but I'm still patient, uh
[Verse 2]
Authenticity my superpower, I don't even know of a better way
I'd be a liar if I said I ain't spend the last two weeks on a résumé
Royalties slowin' down quicker than ever, stream count droppin' off everyday
And here I am stuck with a product that I ain't even clear
I be watchin' them niggas name folks who up next and I'm peepin' my name disappear
Plus, I hate how I can't get responses from rappers that I used to hang with as peers
Balancin' dreams and the time it would take to achieve is just part of the fear
Contemplate if it's worth it to stay on this path, shit takin' its sweet ass f..ckin' time
I don't sleep, no, not at all, I don't eat, no Ramadan
I feel peace knowin' niggas came this far but I want so much more
Is it too late to be who I said I was? Shit, I'm not sure
I still got that same ambition when I dropped at 24
But here I am, humbled inside
At a interview hopin' this job might select let me, had to cut off my pride
Detours come, way too abundant
Somethin' gotta give, until then bitch, I promise you I'm thuggin'
Ain't no problem with me hustlin'
[Chorus]
I'm just tryna stay patient
Practicing keepin' my patience
Shorty helpin' with the patience
Days like this, I feel like God just tryna test a nigga patience
Restless but I'm still patient, I'm just tryna stay patient
Practicing keepin' my patience
Shorty helpin' with the patience
Days like this, I feel like God just tryna test a nigga patience
Restless but I'm still patient
[Verse 3]
Pull up in the house, stuck in the land, blew my advance
My tourin' went rust, I f..cked up the bag, I'm stuck on Indeed
Chasin' a minimum-wage job, most my niggas got laid off
Credit card been pilin' up everyday now, ain't no way to get paid off
Half all features ran for the sake of the rent, it's impactin' the brand
The girl that I'm talkin' to see my potential but knows I'm potentially dim
I'm livin' vicariously, watch as MAVI get the dream
Every time MARCO PLUS get a win and a clutch I'ma cheer from the bench for the team, I promise I'm good
My time comin' even if it mean jobhuntin'
Even if it mean playin' support, I was always committed to grind for it
Momma, keep a nigga room intact 'case I'm dead broke and gotta slide for it
Mizzy know it, all my RODs, they was never scared to go and die for it
I'm prayin' to God each day, I walk with faith when I get blind
I'm prayin' to God each day, He keep me patient when I'm tried
Can't let what's left be wasted, run through rain to take what's mine
My grandma used to say that she can't wait to see me shine
[Chorus]
I'm just tryna stay patient
Practicing keepin' my patience
Shorty helpin' with the patience
Days like this, I feel like God just tryna test a nigga patience
Restless but I'm still patient, I'm just tryna stay patient
Practicing keepin' my patience
Shorty helpin' with the patience
Days like this, I feel like God just tryna test a nigga patience
Restless but I'm still patient
