Talib Kweli, Kendra Ross - Wait for You lyrics

Yeah, hey yeh
And who are you to be talkin 'bout
What I be doin man? I'm the upper echelon
Who is you to evaluate my performance?
How would you like it if I came to your job
And evaluated your performance? laughter
Are you the best at what you do?
Your name don't even come
Up in conversation man

Better get it while the gettin is good
And do what you do
No hesitation, ain't no time for playin games
Go 'head and take all you can
And grab with both hands
Do it big or they won't even know your name
While the gettin is good, you do what you do
No hesitation ain't no time for playin games
Go 'head and take all you can
And grab with both hands
Do it big or they won't even know your name

Yo, aiyyo
What are you doin wit'cha life? Your
Time on Earth is sacred
The time you spend at your plantation
Is it worth the paper?
It's like you workin for nathan
The money's circulatin
You can't pay your mortgage but
You buyin bottles perpetratin
Chill with them threatening raps
You sound lame, you a snake
You made the plane with your venomous acts
They call me Gentleman Sav
Cause, I back Miss Congeniality
Like Benjamin Bratt
Attractin chicks who like the "Feminine Fatt"
While you only deal with the bitches
I deal with the realest women
It's ill how they feel the
Rhythm in they mid-section
When they blessed with the child-bearin hips
But the softest pair of lips is
When they hair get flipped
I love my culture and heritage
It keep me from being derelict
Invested in myself like this
Was Merrill Lynch been waitin for my second
Comin like I'm heavensent
Even though I'm not your savior I'll
Grace you with my benevolence

Better get it while the gettin is good
And do what you do
No hesitation, ain't no time for playin games
Go 'head and take all you can
And grab with both hands
Do it big or they won't even know your name
While the gettin is good, you do what you do
No hesitation ain't no time for playin games
Go 'head and take all you can
And grab with both hands
Do it big or they won't even know your name

Yo, yo, yo
My style is unfadeable and haterproof
I'll slay the booth
I'm known to interrupt the program
Like late breakin news
Some say it's only eggheads that I cater to
Well wait a few in order to make
An omelette I gotta break a few
My plate is full
I wasn't 'sposed to be here
But I made it through my reputation grew
I left blood on the stage for you
How dare you say that
My commitment is debatable
I'm married to the music you rhythm
Then I'm a slave to you
Commercial artists so relatable
The consumer appetite is insatiable
I could do what they could do easily
But then they'd say Kweli be
Seemin fake to you
Record sales ain't makin you
Money is motivatin you
The artist gotta lead I hope the
Fan base stay with you
The products shoddy if you rush
It for the paper true
D'Angelo and Sade they take a decade or two
Keep that good music comin and
They'll wait for you

Better get it while the gettin is good
And do what you do
No hesitation, ain't no time for playin games
Go 'head and take all you can
And grab with both hands
Do it big or they won't even know your name
While the gettin is good, you do what you do
No hesitation ain't no time for playin games
Go 'head and take all you can
And grab with both hands
Do it big or they won't even know your name
