'Waiting' is a song that I am proud of for several reasons, one of which is that it re-inspired The Aztext to get back in the studio after a fairly long hiatus! The concept is pretty simple... you can either chose to live your life waiting for the bus, or get up and move towards your destination! With our newest release, we finally got up off the bus seat!
most wait but it never comes
praying days become better ones...
one was waiting with her headphones on
volume strong on her favorite song
not a baby's mom just your basic blond
with a face to charm men and make'em swarm
days before at a the latest bar with the latest john
heels and make up on
tanguray and tonic
planned to take his wallet
blacked out woke up with her face in vomit
(oh my!) how to explain? -->
the pain, the shame, the blame, afraid
no time, gotto maintain
gathering photographs from around her brain
piecing together leaving together
scenes in a Jetta with seats made of leather
Sheets of a leopard | she tried to get up
he wouldn't let her | please of a beggar
bus late, where's it now?
frustrate, she's wearing down...
same bus, same stop same games
no love no shock no names
she sits and watch and waits
rather then walk away
new world's a block away
you leaving? not today....
i don't know what you're waiting for
just go and get it yourself
cause in this world we livin in
ain't no one trying to help
i don't know what you're waiting for
you better get it yourself
cause you can wait your whole life
but waiting ain't gonna help
sitting down on his way to work
same time, new day, pressed tie and shirt
he's a mindless clerk with a mind at work
all the time on rhymes to refine a verse
with a wife a home and a little kid
he don't vision it as imprisonment
but his written shit that was limitless
turned typical predicament
no risk in assisting a business man
retirement, benefits, and his chips in hand
so he sits around, while he spits a round
in his head justifying his ambitions now ||
even though he know that he underpaid
undervalued, under appreciated
over qualified, over guys who pay him
overworked, hurts him to fucking face it
bus late, where's it now?
frustrate, he's wearing down...
same bus same stop same games
same love same shock same sames
he spits and talks and waits
with no performance dates
could be recording for employment
but why start today?!
i don't know what you're waiting for
just go and get it yourself
cause in this world we livin in
ain't no one trying to help
i don't know what you're waiting for
you better get it yourself
cause you can wait your whole life
but waiting ain't gonna help
run away find a way stop waitin
cause today turns tomorrow if your patient
do whatever needed find your motivation
to create change instead of just waitin
little one at the stop with mom
waiting ever since her pops moved on
gone, vanished, dissapeared
she understands, mom don't
so while sitting here
tired,
one thing's clear
... she was waiting...
for acknowledgement
that together she and ma could overcome their stressful environment
but
...she was waiting...
and she can't wait forever so in time
she'll find a role model
sitting on that bench
spots a girl with her headphones on
volume strong on her favorite song
the two caught eyes in a sing along
stood up and walked away from mom
bus came... who's in line?
she just waived... mom sat blind
new bus new friends to meet
new trust new edge to leap
the bus just drove away ||
confused by those who wait
there's so much she must explore
so why not start today
i don't know what you're waiting for
just go and get it yourself
cause in this world we livin in
ain't no one trying to help
i don't know what you're waiting for
you better get it yourself
cause you can wait your whole life
