(Speaking)
It feels like we been struggling forever, right
Waiting for something and it feels like it’ll never come
It’s easy to get mad at life, God, and each other
But patience
Patience with others is love
Patience with your self is hope
Patience with God is faith
You nah mean?
Just keep doing your thing
(Hook)
Whoa, for the longest time (Billy Joel)
I’ve been waiting for something to happen
Whoa, for the longest time (Billy Joel)
I’ve been searching but I can’t find
Whoa, for the longest time (Billy Joel)
(Verse 1)
They say, good things come to those who wait
Well it’s getting dark and it’s getting late
I asked out destiny, got stood up on the date
I feel like a slave even though its free will it’s still fate
Trying to get your life on track, but running out of faith
If the universe expands why the homeless have no living space?
Saw a man with a tin can, asked him will it ever change?
Cause it feels like there is zero heaven
I’m in the waiting line, like Zero 7
Searching for the truth but you feel like you’ve been lied to
Yea, freedom fries, freedom fries not just fried food
No jobs but there’s always I-tunes
It’s herd mentality, but our life we try to fine tune
People killing each other so why they call it Mankind?
They say God lives in us, but it’s God that we can’t find
(Verse 2)
They say, seek and you will find
Can’t find an occupation even the bathroom is occupied
So easy not to give a shit, but occupy your mind
Cause these pricks try to piggy back on your dime
Call em porcupines
The all seeing eye on my dollar, turns a blind eye
To poverty and it feels like it's all a lie
Unemployment is high, but they can wage a war
And it’s tough, just buying food for your plate and fork
I’m hungry for success like I never ate before
If we're on the same boat, then what’s this hate for?
Like a song like this, was never made before
We were made to soar
To live to our potential, is what we came here for
Live in the present, time is of the essence
History repeats, till we learn life lessons
(Verse 3)
They say, patience is a virtue
But nothing changes life seems inertial
Ignorance is a bliss, but it will hurt you
They say dream big but you're working past your curfew
Like Talib Kweli, just to get by
You want the naked truth but you're stuck, in your shirt and tie
They got you so focused on trying to survive
That you can't focus, with your third eye
They don't want us to know, that we all divine
No stressing, learn to see the blessing in disguise
All you need is high hope - you don't - need to get high
If all is one why do we, live and let die?
Power to the people, believe and imagine
Thoughts are seeds, conceive and it'll happen
You can sit and wait, or float with passion
Cause the key patience is to take action
