I Can't Wait, the first single off of my upcoming album HEATCHECK! A song about facing my mortality and finding purpose in myself for my communitty.

lyrics

I Can’t Wait
I Can’t Wait
I Can’t Wait
I Can’t Wait
he said he would do it, he’s so set in his ways
when he says he’ll pursue it, he’s gonna show you the way
haters won’t get in the way, we never felt so awake
later they’ll say, oh damn, they did do whatever it takes
ok, all we have are the words; all we have are the word
so have you heard, that sheep was running the herd
last one to leave, know that we’re coming in first
at the finish line, we won’t wonder what we've done for the world
nothing is sure; except effort and passion for work
pass me the mic — and tonight, we gon’ show ‘em a verse
we’re nobody’s saviours — we all participate first
we could be brave with the hurt, you’re here, there is reason for birth
we belong; with a song, make meaning on earth
he’s been meaning to have a meeting with god, show ‘em a verse
When you’re blessed with a curse, you know yesterday’s worth
So whatchu heard? You know we do it to serve
I can’t go back if i wanted
I’ve been at it for too long
Turned my back on my demons
Now i’m redeeming my soul
Turned my dreams into really really real
Y’all dont know
I only do what i wanna
Whatever’s good for my soul
And i can’t wait for it, no!
he said he would do it, he’s got something to prove
watch him using the music, he’s got people to move
a human to be, a truth to uncover, he’s building a team
that’s feeling the dream, with good rhythm and vision to see
in position to teach, within him, there's a mission to reach
and ambition to be a leader with the team that we keep,
and the blood & the family that’s been given to me
to listen is free, so i lay some wit and wisdom on beats
offer ignition to each, i could do this in my sleep
really do this in my sleep, i wake up to dreams,
Not as hard as it seems, even if some years pass,
i know who i’m determined to be, you can’t deter me
my crew's feeling real dutiful, make something beautiful
I’m making mixtapes so I can rap at my funeral
This is for my day ones, i don't need vacations
cuz imma live em days that i don’t need to escape from
I can’t go back if i wanted
I’ve been at it for too long
Turned my back on my demons
Now i’m redeeming my soul
Turned my dreams into really really real
Y’all dont know
I only do what i wanna
Whatever’s good for my soul
And i can’t wait for it, no!
