Artist/Band: Talib Kweli
Lyrics for Song: Ain't Waiting
Lyrics for Album: Gutter Rainbows [2011]



[Verse 1: Talib Kweli (Outasight)]

Once upon a time in a land far far away

I tried to play but my heart in the way

This part a little harder to say

It's like the white girl trapped in a well

Help is comin' but it's scary as hell

But very well here went the fairy tale

Now Cinderella want a fella who is not so ghetto

So she follow bread crumbs like Hansel & Gretel

Hello - that'll make her drop her underwear

Dough longer than Rapunzel hair

Everyone one stare when she walk in she like (what you want?)

Yo I'm not gonna front, I'll be blunt

I'll make that ass bump, I know that's (what they want)

Me too with my hands up

She turned around like man up, I'm like (here I am)

But I know her from work, she pass by

Like he ain't that fly you got (one more chance)

To fall down the rabbit hole

Let me take you Wonderland or I'm makin' some other plans



[Chorus: Outasight (x2)]

I don't wanna spend the night

Tryin' to figure out how to spend my life

I don't wanna spend my time

Waiting for you, waiting for you



[Interlude 1: Outasight (Talib Kweli)]

(Everybody say) Oh, oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh, oh ohhhh

Waiting for you, waiting for you

(Hey, everybody in the house)

(C'mon, you know it well, what I'm talkin' about)

(Now say) Oh, oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh, oh ohhhh

Waiting for you, waiting for you



[Verse 2: Talib Kweli (Outasight)]

I made you a star, your light was shinin' and so bright

So right that it dwarfed the chicks like Snow White

So nice got down with the team and now you one of us

Got me singing like Prince, "You sexy motherfuh.."

You could be my Princess Bride call you my Buttercup

I love when you lettin' me be the man

Let me take you by the hand like Wendy in Peter Pan

If you fly by night, that's right, I'll let you make a wish

Eat you up like a favorite dish

Man I pray you not the Wicked Witch (made it through)

A situation where I broke my promise

But now I'm tryin' to be honest love (so can you)

Sometimes people evolve

But that involves knowin' exactly (what you want)

And right now I want a compromise

By givin' your partner (what they want)

My life is an open boo

You had a chapter but will it end happily ever after?



[Chorus]



[Interlude 2: Outasight (Talib Kweli)]

(Here we go yeah, ay, ay)

(Ay that's what I'm talkin' about, I put it down like)

(Woo, get your hands up, yeah)

(Everybody in the house say it, say it) Oh, oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh, oh ohhhh

Waiting for you, waiting for you

(Yeah, everybody, ah everybody)

(Now everybody say, c'mon) Oh, oh, oh oh oh

(Say it with me) oh, oh, oh oh oh

(Say it with me) oh, oh, oh ohhhh

Waiting for you, waiting for you

(Hey, everybody in the house)



[Verse 3: Talib Kweli (Outasight)]

Life ain't a fairy tale

Now they say sister's bitter and the Brothers is Grimm

Time to let the story end and let another begin

I spun straw into gold like Rumpelstiltskin

Still a whole in my soul that love won't fill in

She Sleeping Beauty cause her eyes was closed

Tried to sleep on your boy like Brian Rose

Now she wild like the coke in your nose

And I'm lyin' like Pinocchio

Gotta know when it's time to go

Gotta know when it's (here we are)

We had some good times

Had some Little Red Riding Hood times but (once again)

I'm the Big Bad Wolf

Don't hit me with the sad look love (here I am)

I'm still the same old me

But I don't know if we should give it (one more chance)

To add another chapter

Life ain't always happily ever after



[Chorus w/ ad libs]
