Lyrics
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
(Ah)
I've waited all my life for this
They told me that I won't make it
(We used to say, yeah, we used to say)
All my life for this
They told me I won't make it
But I made it
(Uh, yeah)
It's tough not to get anxious, exercising my patience
I thought it never would happen, I swear I waited for ages
Had faith in the journey, I said "Let's see where it takes us"
We want gratification, but see, it happens in stages
With a team on my back, a couple times might've cracked
But never broke, and I can hold them in fact
(You know)
Now, you know how much weight was on him?
(Yeah)
Must've came from within'
My lanky ass don't even go to the gym
(I've waited)
An album in, just one, but twenty mixtapes to my name
(Yeah)
A lot of y'all would lose your appetites with a distaste for the game
(Uh)
Lot of y'all would call it quits because you just chase for the fame
(Uh)
Tell my story to inspire you just in case you're the same
(Yeah)
Self-made, now I employ ten of my friends
Tryna move moms out the Honda, tryna send her a Benz
(I'm trying)
Appreciate it all 'cause it's no telling when this shit ends
(Okay)
Unless it's all a dream, and then it depends
Well, yeah
I've waited all my life for this
(I've waited, yeah)
They told me that I won't make it
(We used to say, yeah, we used to say)
All my life for this
(Uh)
They told me I won't make it
(Yeah, yeah, made it)
But I made it
(Listen)
And all we ever wanted was chances
(Yeah)
Dreams of life-changing checks from label advances, copping mansions
The kinds of conversations marijuana enhances
Back then I let 'em know what my plans is
(Yeah)
A poet in sixteen bar stanzas
(Uh)
Sixteen, with dreams so far-fetched no one understands us
(No one)
Playing shows in stadiums where everybody way up in the stands is
(Hands up)
Standing on their feet, I paint the picture on canvas
(Yeah, yeah, hey, yeah)
(I've waited)
That I seen, in my dreams in quick visions and glances
(Yeah)
Woke up in NYC today, don't think we're in Kansas anymore
But sometimes it's hard to be sure
'Cause if I dreamed that it happened, did it actually, or
Am I just still asleep, and none of it's real?
(Uh)
Wake up tomorrow right back in the struggle tryna come up and build
(Yeah)
I don't know, this shit gets deep and ignorance is bliss
(Uh)
It's all I've ever loved, I waited my whole life for this
I've waited all my life for this
(Yeah)
(I swear, I waited so fucking long)
They told me that I won't make it
(We used to say, yeah, we used to say)
All my life for this
They told me I won't make it
(We always knew this shit would happen, yeah)
But I made it
(Uh)
(Yeah)
(Reporting live from NYC)
(2015 and forever)
(Yeah, uh, yeah)
(I don't know how to end this shit)
(Yeah)
I've waited all my life for this
They told me that I won't make it
All my life for this
They told me I won't make it
But I made it
