[Refrain] Id be waiting Waiting for a lifetime Im sure I said I, Id be waiting Waiting for a lifetime And more [Strophe 1] If that serious alliance lies ahead Let every necessary word be said Remembering the blood that weve shed Keep it mind that there are things we must forget [Refrain] Id be waiting Waiting for a lifetime Im sure I said I, Id be waiting Waiting for a lifetime And more [Strophe 2] Beware of tragedy, left right and center Dont allow hell on earth to enter Get rid off all the damage in your head Remember theres an enemy in your bed [Refrain] Id be waiting Waiting for a lifetime Im sure I said I, Id be waiting Waiting for a lifetime And more [Strophe 3] The jokes on me for sure But then wishes and hopes come true for sure Its you for sure, out of the blue for sure Its you for your past rich and poor Towards that hard encore Its you for your past rich and poor Towards that hard encore [Refrain] Id be waiting Waiting for a lifetime Im sure I said I, Id be waiting Waiting for a lifetime And more [Strophe 4] Ey yo, Ive walked on the african sands like the kosan The original man from lands sacred Battled zulu tribes for the passion of word play And swam across the Zambezi butt naked Seen the sun rise in the east and set in the west Plotted stars charts and directions for god to manifest From the peaks of the pyramids i left tags in dark gaves That gave humanity clues on how to star gaze Ive seen a snake shed its skin like the seasons and change Ive seen world rearange in a flash Now for this cash they rape our lands strictly for wealth Its left me stranded in a spiritual realm all by myself Headed to mecca i stopped and spoke swahm with tribes Chanted native dialects over the hill i felt vibes Threw my hands in the sky then beat them hard on a drum Over the horizon I waited for freedom to come But the ships just keep sailing and whips just keep cracking I wonder where I am so i begin back tracking Through the solomonic dynasty I read the kebra Took a swift across the mains like I was riding on a zebra The ashante draped me in robes or royalty The shona tribe blessed me with lyrical ability Its beauty infinate and theres just no debating When i finaly saw all along whos been waiting
waiting, lifetime, strophe, sure, id
