Middle of the Night

I won’t wait for you
It’s the middle of the night
But the street lights keep me awake
I feel like a fool
'Cos I leave the window open
And my bones do shake
Baby come a little closer
I know you want me to approach ya
But the way me and my bruddas
I’m sorry, you have to approach us
I’m protective of this energy
I usually save it for these melodies
This music, it is my remedy
So I’m dodging hunnies for the culture
Swerve, swerve
Yeah you know of me, you don’t know us
I believed in my dreams
Now they’ve all manifested as I’ve grown up
No need to put my money where my mouth is
'Cos I’m literally spitting gold dust
Swear this scene is so deceiving
It’s like we live for pictures that we post up
Tryna show them two sides
Shoutout to the fans that’s vibing to the old stuff
What’s my name, what’s my name
Guess that one’s dedicated to them old ones
Now I’m firing off
Only got one, no time to miss shots
Solemnly swear it feels like my time
So I patiently wait in the line for the top, like
Tick tock, tick tock
Scratch that, now I’m in a hatchback
Sport mode, I’m designing a box
You get your life lost for the price of a box
I ain’t tryna glorify violence
Just simply defining what life is
It’s frankly ironic
How they ask why we’re blue in the ends
When we’re blinded with sirens
I won’t wait for you
It’s the middle of the night
But the street lights keep me awake
I feel like a fool
'Cos I leave the window open
And my bones do shake
Not every messenger’s meant to be shot
I’m just connecting the dots
Baby there’s no need to panic
Let’s go and travel the planet
I’m envisioning aquatics
Dolphins doing acrobatics
We actually need the trees
We actually need the bees
To pollenate them
But now due to deforestation
The streets are all polluted from the traffic
Luxury flats to meet the population
They’re just trying to build a city
Full of all the richest fucking people in the nation, but
Now I realise my talent, could never abuse it
Just want me a house in the hills with a few kids
Never knew that I could make a living off music
Kill the truth off any tune that I’m producing
Mixing and matching these words is a game
Feel deserted in my lane
But that’s okay
They said I need to release
I knew I needed to wait
Make sure my mind was at peace
Slow and steady wins the race
Always I’m finishing what’s on my plate
'Cos thats just the way I was raised
'Cos if I said that I’m in it
They said it’s irrelevant
But I’m bringing nothing but relevance to the rap game
And it’s slowly becoming evident
That this higher intelligence
Hereditary to my dad’s name
Sat back for couple years and I lacked faith
Slowly but surely baking a fat cake
Rather be the tortoise, better than the hare
For slow and steady, it wins the damn race
'Cos
I won’t wait for you
It’s the middle of the night
But the street lights keep me awake
I feel like a fool
'Cos I leave the window open
And my bones do shake
