Talib Kweli, Outasight - Ain't Waiting lyrics

Once upon a time in a land far-far away
I tried to play but my heart in the way
This part a little harder to say
It's like a white girl trapped in a well
Help is coming but it's scary
As hell but very well
Here went the fairy tale
Now Cinderella want a fella who
Is not so ghetto
So she follow breadcrumbs like
Hansel and Gretel
Hello, that'll make her drop her underwear
Dough longer than Rapunzel hair
Everyone stare when she walk in, she like
("What you want?")
Yo, I'm not gonna front, I'll be blunt
I'll make that ass bump, I know that's
(What they want) me too with my hands up
She turned around like man up, I'm like
("Here I am") but, I know her from work
She pass by like he ain't that fly, you got


(One more chance)
To fall down the rabbit hole
Let me take you to Wonderland or
I'm making some other plans

I don't wanna spend the night
Tryna figure out how to spend my life
I don't wanna spend my time waiting for you
Waiting for you
I don't wanna spend the night
Tryna figure out how to spend my life
I don't wanna spend my time waiting for you
Waiting for you

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh waiting for you, waiting for you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh waiting for you, waiting for you

I made you a star
Your light was shining and so bright
So bright that it dwarfed the
Chicks like Snow White so nice
Got down with the team and now you one of us
Got me singing like Prince
You sexy motherfuck
You could be my princess bride
Call you my buttercup
I love when you letting me be the man
Let me take you by the hand
Like Wendy in Peter Pan
If you fly by night, that's right
I'll let you make a wish
Eat you up like a favorite dish
Man I pray you not the Wicked Witch
(Made it through)
A situation where I broke my promise
But now, I'm trying to be honest love
(So can you) sometimes people evolve
But that involves knowing exactly
(What you want)
And right now, I wanna compromise
By giving your partner (What they want)
My life is an open book you had a chapter
But will it end happily ever after?

I don't wanna spend the night
Tryna figure out how to spend my life
I don't wanna spend my time waiting for you
Waiting for you
I don't wanna spend the night
Tryna figure out how to spend my life
I don't wanna spend my time waiting for you
Waiting for you

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh waiting for you, waiting for you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh waiting for you, waiting for you

Life ain't a fairy tale
Now they say sister's bitter and
The brothers is grim
Time to let the story end
And let another begin
I spun straw into gold like Rumpelstiltskin
Still a hole in my soul
That love won't fill in
She Sleeping Beauty cause her eyes was closed
Tried to sleep on your boy like Brian Rose
Now she wild like the coke in your nose
And I'm lying like Pinocchio
Gotta know when it's time to go
Gotta know when it's (Here we are)
We had some good times
Had some Little Red Riding Hood times but
(Once again) i'm the big bad wolf
Don't hit me with the sad look love
(Here I am) i'm still the same old me
But, I don't know if we should give it
(One more chance) to add another chapter
Life ain't always happily ever after

I don't wanna spend the night
Tryna figure out how to spend my life
I don't wanna spend my time waiting for you
Waiting for you
I don't wanna spend the night
Tryna figure out how to spend my life
I don't wanna spend my time waiting for you
Waiting for you
