Delay

[Hook:]

It seems like folks now want it right away

They need to slow it down, and ride the wave

To act out of haste, the price we pay

What's destined 'll come, with slight delay.. slight delay

You do stupid shit when you move too a fast

Take a minute to think, and get ya foot off the gas

Each and everyone wanna have some fun

You're living under the sun, goals we gotta get done

[Verse One: yU]

We're living in a world where..

We stay in first gear

Ain't nobody there, earpiece in they ear

At all times, why.. It should be a crime

They desensitize you & I for a dime

When you see your brotherman

Don't nobody say hi, no more

What for, got a lot going on

Yeah right..

Plus just another red light, sitting still up in traffic, stagnant

Madness

A thin line between not having, and lavish

If I can't earn it, then fuck I'll grab it

Learned it from America, home of the Slaves

Lies legalized if the right price paid, paid

Paid off the sweat you losing.. Blessing or a lesson.. Just an illusion

And we wonder why we're losing

Pause for a second, and let the world keep moving..

[Hook]

[Verse Two: Uptown XO]

Like I'm a diamond, I'm shining y'all

Like I'm a sun, I bring light to y'all

Can you imagine me taking a loss

Retaliate before taking it all

Its been a week, dog.. You taking long

U think I'mma let them escape with our

Dough when I crept on through

Let 'em know I'm a pro, so I couldn't wait two..

More minutes, so niggas know how precious every moment is

Don't delay, build up the momentum

Cuz the block gonna talk if we don't get them

Like Barrack, when I talk.. They all listen

Shhhh... listen to 'em laugh when we keep losing

Keep proving ourself wrong, we cruising

Road to redemption, so we keep moving.. Keep, keep moving

[Hook]

[Verse Three: Oddisee]

Good things come to those who wait, hugh..

I'm trynna escape from, the bottom.. That bass drum

Haste I make from, mistakes done regardless

Gotta take from that waste dump the garbage

Turning treasure endeavors to try to sever me

And cleverly and steadily, heavily making progress

I'm one step ahead of me so

I'll never be slow, never be loafing

I'll never be close to somethin' that I wanted but confronted wit walls

If I ain't climbing, I ain't walking, man its nothing to crawl

More important. Man, its nothing to fall

Cuz a brother's bouncing back like I'm dunking a ball

Resilience is brilliance, trust me

Its real in the field, hit hard.. n*gga, rugby..

Nothing to guard you from the ugly, truth

What u want me to say, take time.. delay..
