Patient Lyrics - The Dø

You gotta be patient 

Momma always told me I had to be patient 

Brand new joint right here man "patient" 

You gotta be patient 

I know times hard 

And you down bad 

You just wanna rob 

But you gotta be patient 

Know your baby momma 

Keep calling your phone 

Won't leave you alone 

But you gotta be patient 

Know your little brother 

Want some new shoes 

But he's skipping school 

Man he resembles you 

I know your doing time 

25 to life 

That ain't nothing nice 

But you gotta be patient 

Single mother five kids no paps 

Momma in the kitchen cooking up straight drop 

Daddy in prison so I'm on my own 

I keep running in this shit everything is a collision 

Momma what you doing 

I'm tryna pay my bills 

Just tryna feed my kids every night we need a meal 

In 96 my paps died I was just 11 

By 15 my brother died on his way to heaven 

I was told that patience would get you far 

Who would have knew 8 years later I'd be a star 

To my family stay strong on everything you facing 

I just gotta work hard and remain patient 

I know times hard 

And you down bad 

You just wanna rob 

But you gotta be patient 

Know your baby momma 

Keep calling your phone 

Won't leave you alone 

But you gotta be patient 

Know your little brother 

Want some new shoes 

But he's skipping school 

Man he resembles you 

I know your doing time 

25 to life 

That ain't nothing nice 

But you gotta be patient 

(?) He 19 with 3 kids 

His pockets sick his stomach sick man you can see his ribs 

Cut throat, gotta get it by the gun smoke 

This young boy is on a mission can't go broke 

Like (?) by any means for them dollar signs 

He wylin out like the kids in the columbine 

His momma sick with a virus that got her dying slow 

Red ribbon victim, washed away like soap 

Now we bugging out, plus the three kids 

Two baby mommas screaming nigga you ain't doing shit 

It's a lot going on from the shit he facing 

Suicide, what he did he had no patience 

I know times hard 

And you down bad 

You just wanna rob 

But you gotta be patient 

Know your baby momma 

Keep calling your phone 

Won't leave you alone 

But you gotta be patient 

Know your little brother 

Want some new shoes 

But he's skipping school 

Man he resembles you 

I know your doing time 

25 to life 

That ain't nothing nice 

But you gotta be patient
