Yeah
I just need to take my time
Why is patience hard to find
I'm feeling all the pressure to succeed
I'm feeling like it's falling down on me
You can't tell me that
I won't be the greatest when I leave
And I carry that
Till the last day you see me breathe
You would tell me that
I had all the talent to do what I wanna do
You used to say to me
"Ain't nobody working hard as you"
But you know I be self-conscious
Thinking of responses
What if this ain't meant for me?
What if I ain't got it?
But that ain't how I'm brought up
Limitations that you faced were only things you thought up
Looking back a year on it
My name wasn't even brought up
Now they treat me like the major leagues they wanna call up
Business and entitlement the hardest things to manage
Follow that with family and you make a bad lineup
I'm Batting 1.000 all the time
Go check the standings
When you outsource for validation you won't find much
And that's real
True
I see a star when I'm looking in the mirror
Just waiting to glow up
Waiting to glow up
I just need to take my time
Why is patience hard to find
I used to have this thing that I would do when I wasn't confident
I used find any excuse to not accomplish it
The fear was swaying my best judgment
But then I had to realize I do it because I love it
And the impact I make from speaking on all these subjects
Fans feeling my passion through the music and say he up next
How could I flop?
How could I stop?
Your life is a blessing so
Why should you swap?
I remember feeling discouraged cause I ain't have it
I later realized the rewards inside my habits
I ain't never made no excuses I made results
When life gave me lemons
I took 'em and made adults
Now the angle that I'm watching from is in a higher class
You already know how Austin coming
You don't gotta ask
When you get the shot that's meant for you
You don't gotta pass
When you put the work in like I do
You don't come in last
You need to take a step back from it
This life don't get no easier
Take a step back from it
Your pride don't get no easier
Just take a step back from it
You are where you need to be
Right where you need to be
I see a star when I'm looking in the mirror
Just waiting to glow up
Waiting to glow up
I just need to take my time
Why is patience hard to find
