Patience (feat. Lil Baby)

I just need my space right now

Patience was the key, I stayed down 'til I got it

Money, power and respect, can tell you all about it

Man, I swear it ain't come easy, that's on God

I climbed some mountains, should've seen momma face

When I bought her that new Audi

2020, motherfucker, I bought it with no mileage

I was born with the drip, so I don't ever need no stylist

Back to back the Lambo's, me and Baby, we be wildin'

Can't wait to take my family on a trip, we be all on the island

Money ain't change me, changed **** around me

Old friends hatin', got some **** wanna down me

Don't know why they hatin', to be real, that shit be clownin' me

I fled my whole hood, but I know my city proud of me

First one out of Arkansas to get a major deal

They ask me how I do it, man, I tell 'em, "God is real"

I'm in the booth with Gucci Mane, I swear that shit gave me the chills

Got me scratchin' on my head like, "God damn, this can't be real"

Real

And patience was the key, ayy, I'm the livin' proof

I swear to God, ayy, look at me

Whoever thought that boy from back then known for sellin' weed

Would be all on the stage, rockin' crowds and on TV

Man, you gotta be patient, you gotta be patient

I say you gotta be patient

And waitin' on what's mine, it's my time, I'm finna take it, take it

Gotta have patience with this shit, I took a chance

I was havin' fun with my other money, I still got my advance

Ain't never takin' no bonds, had to fight Big Rod on a Xan

I dropped out, then moved out, let my momma think it was the plan

I'ma be the man, sell all of these bags, it ain't no bad bitch I ain't had

We had so many guns online, I put my phone inside the trash

I see the stove, man, word to my dad

It wasn't that good, but it wasn't that bad

I told my agent, "I want cash, the checks be takin' too long to come"

She like, "Baby, just have patience, this is a hell of a lot of money"

I'm Lil Baby, I don't like waitin', I don't pay you to make comments

I'm bein' honest if I can be

I know my opps can't stand me

From level five penitentiary to Grammys

Only way to stop me is probably to ban me, and I still won't quit

She know I ain't no good for her, but she still my bitch

I got my records, okay, I'm legit

Now we really got sticks

I sold my whole city pounds, I really been in that mix

(I just need my space right now)

And patience was the key, ayy, I'm the livin' proof

I swear to God, ayy, look at me

Whoever thought that boy from back then known for sellin' weed

Would be all on the stage, rockin' crowds and on TV

Man, you gotta be patient, you gotta be patient

I say you gotta be patient

And waitin' on what's mine, it's my time, I'm finna take it, take it
