Patience Lyrics

We have come because we see this as a dark hour in the affairs of men

Hmm

For most of us this is a new mood

Right

We are traditionally the idealists

Yes

We are the marchers from Mississippi, and Selma and Washington

Yes

Who staked our lives on the American dream during the first half of this decade

Exactly

Um, shit

Welcome to Coley: The Mixtape

I don't know, it's been like four years in the making

So, all I can say is

Thank you for your patience

Yah

I woke up, yawned

Shit, it's 9:30 in the morning

I'm going back to sleep

For a little longer I want to be closer to my dreams

I'm 20 years old

Finally done with my teens

It's a dub

Take a trip into my heart

Looking for lost love, or higher learning

The fire burning

Talking about the drugs, and the money, and the girls, and the jewelry in our bars

Riding in fast cars, living life on pause

Wake up, my brother start establishing credit

If you got the money in the bank to back it, get a debit

And if you've got all of that

And then you still choose to flex,

Then I'm praying for you

Hope you don't fuck around lose your blessings

Money, not the goal in life, the goal in life is happiness

Money, not the goal in life, the goal in life is happiness

Money, not the goal in life, the goal in life is happiness

Trying to prove a point, nigga

Why you think I'm rapping this?

I come with techniques and content

Boy, you lacking this

While you rapping bout the trap, I'm back at home practicing,

Asking me about what be going through my head.

Well, shit, I sit and think about the end of time

And when will it begin?

Will we fly to heaven?

Will we turn to dust and skin?

Will the monetary things come with us?

Can we bring a friend who maybe didn't deserve it?

Forgive me, I have sinned.

Looking through the mirror into bright skies,

But it's always easy to cross to the dark side

In a capitalistic modern day apartheid,

We seem to part ties with our heart, where the art lies

No apologies, the passion is lacking

You niggas slacking with the rapping

On the track, I be snapping

I'm a poet, so I'm flowing like the pen in the motion

When I be writing, so enticing

I swim in the ocean

I swear to God, I'm deeper than the niggas that y'all be quoting

You never know when I'm overdosing

I'm way too dope

But Coley Cole trying to be a role model to the youth

You ain't vibing with this, cause you don't want to hear the truth

And if you do vibe with me, then I'm vibing with you

And if you fuck with me, then you probably fuck with #TheCrew

I'm sorry for the wait, but welcome to Coley: The Mixtape

Don't make a mistake

Cause I'ma fuck around and misplace

My passive-aggressive nature

From East Atlanta to Decatur, we be greater

Trying to kick it with my sister, Little Tater

You be imitating

I be painting pictures, illustrating

My rhymes demonstrating how these times still enslavement

Petty crimes come from poverty crimes.

It's a way of life, where the only way for you to survive is to grind

If you want to stay alive, you gotta rob

Run the risk of doing time, so you can feed your kid and your moms

I understand the system knows we stronger if we all resist em

Spread love like religion

Build more schools and less prisons filled with people with my pigment

Being black can't be forgiven

Cut some slack on the ropes you hang us with, so we can live

Shit,

I just want to live

Can I live?

It's Coley

It's all about the vibes that you spread

The energy you put out, is the energy that you receive

Open your mind

Yah

Patience today

Patience tonight

Patience for life

Patience today

Patience tonight

Patience for life

Patience

Patience today

Patience tonight

Patience for life

Patience today

Patience tonight

Patience for life
