I'd be Waiting
[Chorus:]I'd be waitingWaiting for a lifetimeI'm sureI said I'd be waitingWaiting for a lifetimeAnd more
If that serious alliance lies ahedLet every necessary word be saidRemembering the blood that we've shedKeep in mind that there are things we must forget
[Chorus]
Beware of tragedy left, right and centerDon't allow hell on earth to enterGet rid of all the damage in your headRemember there's an enemy in your head
[Chorus]
The joke's on me, for sureBut then wishes and hopes come true, for sureIt's you, for sureOut of the blue, for sureIt's you, for you're past rich and poorTowards that hard encore
[Chorus]
[Metaphysics:]Ey yo, I've walked on the African sands like the KhoisanThe original man from land sacredBattled Zulu tribes for the passion of word play and swamAcross the Zambezi butt nakedI've seen the sun rise in the east and set in the westPlotted star charts and directions for God to manifestFrom the peaks of pyramids I left tags in dark cavesGave humanity clues on how to star gazeSeen a snake shed its skin like the seasons and changeSeen world re-arrange in a flash; now for this cashThey rape Mother Africa for wealthIt's left me stranded in a spiritual realm all by myselfHeaded to Mecca I stopped and spoke Swahili with tribesChanted native dialects over the hills, I felt vibesThrew my hands to the sky then beat them hard on a drumOver the horizon, I waited for freedom to comeBut the ships just keep sailing, whips just keep crackingWonder where I'm lost so I begin backtrackingThrough the Solomonic Dynasty, I read the KebraTook me swift across the planes like riding on a zebraThe Ashanti draped me in robes of royalityShana Tribe blessed me with this lyrical abilityPurely infinite and there's just no debatingWhen I finally saw, all along who's been waiting
