CHAPTER 4 SONG Be Patient

Be Patient

Little homey be patient
Be patient

Chorus
Yeah I know your type, everybody want to shine
You want to be on top, but nobody wants to climb
You want to be the boss, but don’t ever want to grind
And wonder why you never get ahead every time
Little homey be patient
That’s the only way you can get where you got to go
make good decisions
Be patient
Sit back; take time to think every situation through
Before you move, Be Patient

Verse 1
I was a young crumb snatcher
out here try ‘a grab something
Coming up in Alabama I ain’t never had nothing
But before my pops died—he taught me the key of life
Don’t be anxious to make it to the top—you need patience
See in this game of life—we always have choices
You make the wrong move
it sends your life in different courses
You can go and get a job but you want the fast bucks
So you hit the block up and you got locked up
Always getting in a fight—got suspended out of school
Be the first to throw a punch
you don’t ever think it through
Can’t keep relationships and your homeboys mad
Can’t nobody tell you nothing because your temper so bad
When the going gets tough you get weak and start fronting
So you start a lot of things but you don’t complete nothing
So instead of playing checkers I suggest you play chess
That the only way to make it through your everyday stress
Little homey be patient

Chorus
Yeah I know your type, everybody want to shine
You want to be on top, but nobody wants to climb
You want to be the boss, but don’t ever want to grind
And wonder why you never get ahead every time
Little homey be patient
That’s the only way you can get where you got to go
make good decisions
Be patient
Sit back; take time to think every situation through
Before you move, Be Patient

Verse 2
First you get your righteous hustle
And then you do your diligence
Work it and you work it ‘til your partners say you killing it
It ain’t gone’ go your way—everything that you want to do
So here’s a list of everything that you don’t do
Never be a negative—always be a positive
Always be a leader—never be a follower
Pride killed the king—so you’ll just swallow it
Quiet as a church mouse—humble as a college kid
Then you know you keep God in your eyesight
And don’t you ever get addicted to the high life
Money comes fast and the reaper comes slow
Time passes by and the women come and go
Swagger made up so you can show your character
Be about your business and the women come after
Mind over matter—no pain, no gain
Patience, persistence is how you get paid

Chorus
Yeah I know your type, everybody want to shine
You want to be on top, but nobody wants to climb
You want to be the boss, but don’t ever want to grind
And wonder why you never get ahead every time
Little homey be patient
That’s the only way you can get where you got to go
make good decisions
Be patient
Sit back; take time to think every situation through
Before you move, Be Patient
