Bet on patience, bet on yourself, keep the gold, discipline is wealth Knowledge of self If you don't know that, then you just know hate and guilt But we never gave up, no milk in my coffee only a cup of patience Reflecting on my mistakes, so I could quit this day shift I've been rapping since I was 13, 20 years I been working My whole life I've been searching For my dreams to become a sure thing Last year we were on vice, we were on vice, yeah that's right You got to pay your dues, sometimes a decade is the price Some are looking for coupons, some are looking for discounts Some are buying followers, on experience they missed out Some treat comments like they're comets, no likes and then they vomit But just be you and stay true, writing rap songs like they're sonnets Like, you don't need to go triple Haste makes waste is what they used to tell me in the kitchen Never knew I was learning life lessons when I was washing dishes No need to bluff when times are tough, I promise you can make it No need to rush, no need to rush, just bet on patience Plant the letters in the paper Water them with patience Watch them sprout Watch them bloom all over the nation
