About This Track

'Wait' finds King Von in unsparing form, the track a catalogue of violence and street hierarchy delivered with the flat certainty of someone recounting fact rather than boast. The production sits spare and menacing beneath his voice as he moves between the hypnotic chorus, where he and Big A are "ridin' down the Trey", and verses that detail body counts and the mechanics of harm with a precision that feels less like braggadocio than testimony. The song operates in the grammar of Chicago drill, where specificity of place and person grounds the narrative. Von names individuals and locations, moves between past tense recollection and present tense assertion, and builds a portrait of survival through violence that carries weight precisely because it avoids melodrama. The repetition of "Mr. Never Miss" establishes a persona hardened by circumstance and choice alike, whilst the second verse strips away even the rhythm of the chorus to sit with the aftermath of what the first half describes.

"Wait" is a track by King Von, released 16th January 2019. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Wait

[Intro]

(Known to let that MAC fly just like my nigga Doe, baow)

You know what the fuck goin' on, nigga

OTF, the family

She die—, all you hear in the back round 300 haha

[Chorus]

Bitch, I was slidin' with Big A

We was ridin' down the Trey

I hit the alley, told bro wait

[Verse]

You know King Von do his thing

I hopped out, no, I don't play

.9 Beretta on my waist

I count the crowd, didn't hesitate

Matter fact, this was the day

I shot up Dunbar with L'A

M-Thang and Makado

JoJo died, we laughed at dude

Tweet at us, won't follow you

Tweak with us, we follow you

Show you what these hollows do

Don't let my vultures swallow you

Now they lie and merch on you

They never slide 'cause you was fu

And no one really likеd you

Shit so sad but shit so true

Now let's take it to thе WIIIC

Been off that porch since like 'o-six

Don't remember my first kiss

But I remember my first lick

Don't remember my first bitch

But I remember my first hit

By myself, who I was with

And I was missin' like a bitch

But now I'm Mr. Never Miss

And yo' bitch I never kiss

But now I'm Mr. Never Miss

And yo' bitch I never kiss

[Chorus]

I was ridin' with Big A

We was cruisin' down the Trey

I hit the alley, told bro wait

I was ridin' with Big A

We was cruisin' down the Trey

I hit the alley, told bro wait

I was ridin' with Big A

We was cruisin' down the Trey

I hit the alley, told bro wait

I was ridin' with Big A

We was cruisin' down the Trey

I hit the alley, told bro wait

[Verse 2]

Don't need no beam to make you bleed, nigga

Body count so ugly, I remind you of that scream, nigga

Bleed, nigga, sparks make it hard for you to see, nigga

Breathe, nigga, tubes make it hard for you to eat, nigga

Sleep, nigga, body ain't movin', don't hear a peep, nigga

Weak, nigga, that's what y'all is, ain't hard to see, nigga

'Bout a week, nigga, I'ma have fifty thousand up in the jeep, nigga

Dream chaser like Meek, nigga, R.I.P. LilBossTee, nigga
