Waitin' on Ya - Genesis Owusu

Waiting on the day When my thoughts are my own When this house is my home And plans are made When you'll be there for me, baby When you'll love me all the way When you'll take my side in every little fire fight When you'll hang your things and stay I'm waiting on the day When my life on the run Bleaches out in the sun and Shows my age Waiting on the day When that voice comes to say That it's not wrong what you did for just a kid When you'll be there for me, baby When you'll love me all the way When you'll take my side in every little fire fight When you'll hang your things and stay I'm waiting on the day Waiting on the day When these words are in stone When the kids are all grown And we go dancing Oh, can you do it, babe? Can you love me all the way? Will you tie me tight in little strands of paradise? Will you walk with me before the morning fades? I'm waiting on the day

Sittin' on a bench at West Town Mall He sat down in his overalls and asked me "You waitin' on a woman?" I nodded, yeah and said, "How 'bout you" He said, "Son since 1952 I've been waitin' on a woman" "And when I picked her up for our first date I told her, I'd be there at eight" And she came down the stairs at eight-thirty She said, "I'm sorry that I took so long Didn't like a thing that I tried on" But let me tell you son, she sure looked pretty Yeah, she'll take her time, but I don't mind Waitin' on a woman He said the weddin' took a year to plan You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous And waitin' on a woman And then he nudged my arm like old men do And said, "I'll say this 'bout the honeymoon, it was worth it Waitin' on a woman" And I don't guess we've been anywhere She hasn't made us late I swear Sometimes she does it just 'cause she can do it Boy, it's just a fact of life It'll be the same with your young wife Might as well go on and get used to it She'll take her time 'cause you don't mind Waitin' on a woman I've read somewhere statistics show The man's always the first to go And that makes sense 'cause I know she won't be ready So when it finally comes my time And I get to the other side I'll find myself a bench, if they've got any I hope she takes her time, 'cause I don't mind Waitin' on a woman Honey, take your time, 'cause I don't mind Waitin' on a woman

Leaving the light Always thought I was living a lie Wasn't feeling it right Always thought I was living a lie Put my hand up on my heart, I beat my chest The chaos moving down and down, seep in my flesh The obstacles won't block my path, I see the test They can try and swat me down, boy, I'm the pest Only know what you see from the outside You can run, God laughs with his mouth wide I won't die on my knees, though my hands tied In the end, it's a roach versus a landslide Better run, there's a God And He's coming for me Better run, there's a God And He's coming for me Better run, there's a God And He's coming for me Better run, there's a God And He's coming for me Leaving the light Always thought I was living a lie Wasn't feeling it right Always thought I was living a lie Leaving the light Always thought I was living a lie Wasn't feeling it right Always thought I was living a lie The pest is always on the move, I ain't vanish Crush me with your holy hell, I feel no damage I can never stop my path, despite the panic The planet might be burning down Fuck it, I'll manage Green hills, I can see them smoking Big smile as the flames approaching I'm a beast, I can feel them poaching Stamp me down, but a roach keeps roaching Better run, there's a God And He's coming for me Better run, there's a God And He's coming for me Better run, there's a God And He's coming for me Better run, there's a God And He's coming for me Leaving the light I don't need a gun I can hurt you with my tongue And I'm trying not to burn out While I'm living in the sun I don't need a gun I can hurt you with my tongue And I'm trying not to burn out While I'm living in the sun Leaving the light Always thought I was living a lie Wasn't feeling it right Always thought I was living a lie Leaving the light Always thought I was living a lie Wasn't feeling it right Always thought I was living a lie!
