For This lyrics

Yeah, yeah, ah, yeah

I waited all my life for this

They told me that I won't make it

(We used to say, yeah, we used to say)

All my life for this

They told me that I won't make it

But I made it

It's tough not to get anxious

Exercising my patience

I thought it never would happen

I swear I waited for ages

Had faith in the journey

I said "let's see where it takes us"

We want gratification

But see it happens in stages

With a team on my back

A couple times might have cracked

But never broke and I can hold them in fact

Man, you know how much weight was on him?

Must have came from within'

My lanky ass don't even go to the gym

And now I'm in, just one, but twenty mixtapes to my name

A lot of y'all would lose your appetites

With a distaste for the game

Lot of y'all would call it quits

Because you just chase for the fame

Tell my story to inspire you

Just in case you're the same

Self-made, now I employed ten of my friends

Tryna move moms out the Honda

Tryna send her a Benz

Appreciate it all 'cause there's no telling when this shit ends

Unless it's all a dream and then it depends, well, yeah

I waited all my life for this

They told me that I won't make it

(We used to say, yeah, we used to say)

All my life for this

They told me that I won't make it

But I made it

And all we ever wanted was chances

Dreams of life changing, checks from label advances

Copping mansions

The kind of conversations marijuana enhances

Back then I let them know what my plans is

A poet in sixteen bar stanzas

Sixteen with dreams so far fetched no one understands us

Playing shows in stadiums

Where everybody way up in the stands is

Standing on their feet, I paint the picture on canvas

That I seen, in my dreams in quick visions and glances

Woke up in NYC today, don't think we're in Kansas

Anymore, but sometimes it's hard to be sure

'Cause if I dreamed that it happened, did it actually or?

Am I just still asleep, and none of it's real

Wake up tomorrow right back in the struggle

Tryna come up and build

I don't know this shit gets deep and ignorance is bliss

It's all I've ever loved, I waited my whole life for this, yeah

I waited all my life for this

(I swear I waited so fucking long)

They told me that I won't make it

(We used to say, yeah, we used to say)

All my life for this

They told me that I won't make it

(We always knew this shit would happen, yeah)

But I made it

Yeah, reporting live from NYC

Two thousand and fifteen and forever

Yeah, uh, yeah

I don't know how to end this shit

Yeah, uh, yeah

I waited all my life for this

They told me that I won't make it

All my life for this

They told me that I won't make it

But I made it
