Waiting for Something (ft. Toyebi)

from Just Waking Up by Mike Dreams

/

lyrics

(Chorus)

See, I
Don’t know if what I’ve been waiting for
All my life
This future I can’t see
I feel so blind
So I’ll just sit and wait
As time goes by
And I just wonder why

But here I am
Still I stand
And I’m gonna do what it takes
And try the best I can
Don’t know where I’ll go
Don’t know where I’ll be
But all I know is I’m just gon be me

(Verse 1)

See I don’t know what I’m waiting for
But I’ve been waiting on something since the day I was born
It hasn’t came
So I guess I’m still searchin’
Back up on the grind
Yeah, I guess I’m still working
And waiting on a sign
Praying it’ll fall from the sky
Cuz it seems like I’m never satisfied
With this life that was given
This life that I’m living
My sights and my visions
Always seem to turn different
I feel so complacent
Waiting on my placement
Within this big world
Wishing I could switch places
With those who’ve advanced
If I just had the chances they had
I could make the advancements they have
But I’m stuck inside this basement
Writing this letter to myself
And I’m praying that somebody would help
Give me a little guidance
And maybe shed light
And tell me everything is alright

(Chorus)

See, I
Don’t know if what I’ve been waiting for
All my life
This future I can’t see
I feel so blind
So I’ll just sit and wait
As time goes by
And I just wonder why

But here I am
Still I stand
And I’m gonna do what it takes
And try the best I can
Don’t know where I’ll go
Don’t know where I’ll be
But all I know is I’m just gon be me

(Verse 2)

You ever have a day
Where nothing is goes wrong
But nothing feels right
That’s what I feel like
The same old 24-hour routine
I’m the playing the same part
Living the same scene
Conception of my visions
They soon became dreams
But making it happen
Is looking more difficult
It seems
I am stuck here
Waiting on my life to change
Like I’m in a car
Waiting for the light to change
So I can drive down that same road
They say so many have
Wish I could take a shortcut
You know, a mini path
But it looks like
I’m in for the long stretch
Trying to live inside the present
But I’m feeling all stressed
I need to learn to be comfortable
In my skin
And learn to be content with
The position that I’m in
Focus on where I’m going
And be proud of where I’ve been
But right now
This is where I am…
I’m Waiting for something

(Chorus)

(Bridge 1)

Now turn it up on the radio
Flip the notch on ya stereo
If you don’t know what you’re waiting for
But you ain’t got time
And you just wanna live you’re life
Nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah (Repeat)

(Bridge 2)

We’ll I’mma be okay
Man, I hope so
Okay, yeah, yeah,
Man, I don’t know
We’ll I’mma be okay
Man, I hope so
Okay, yeah, yeah,
But I don’t know

(Chorus)
