Verse 1 (JREM):
Back at home in Bull City, North Crack, NC
making minimum wage, my tank stuck on empty
tryna live our lives like it's back in the days
yeah we wanna be paid, don't wanna be trapped in the maze
with no control sell my soul just for cash
get it quick and fast
I lay back and hit the grass, space out when I sit in class
I blast a beat, lambaste the mic and pass
tryna live every moment like it's the absolute last
I study prose, muddy clothes, Bricktop my buddy knows
and it shows, we kicking flows and just waiting for shows
I suppose y'all know what I mean, it's something you do too
waiting for these opportunities to come to you
I pay my rent barely and keep my girl near me
J to the REM is who it be, living life carefree
somewhere we got off track, where the road's unpaved
but I got everything I need and I'm ready for the rave

Chorus:
We just waiting for the show
We waiting for the show
We just waiting for the show
We waiting for the show
We just waiting for the show
We waiting for the show
I got everything I need and I'm ready to go

Verse 2 (JREM):
From Little Brother to the others like Simone and Coltrane
reminds you when the music hits that you feel no pain
so while I'm waiting for the show man you know I'm rehearsing
devise a way to display the funk tapes I'm immersed in
it's all gravy in the place with the killer bass on the scrilla chase
rappers softer than a pillow case, I take control
in my hands hold my destiny at times I wonder what's the best for me
especially when I'm scraping by but I take my time
try to awake the mind, can't escape the grind, I shine
and sit back and unwind, find the truth in it all
amidst the lies and propaganda
our way of life's endangered like the panda
but I'm the man to make it move
these layers built on the groove
I keep it sounding so smooth because I got something to prove
now to do you want to get down, you ready to leave?
I got so much on my mind that I'm trying to achieve but we just waiting for the show

Chorus 2X

Verse 3 (Median):
Mic check 1, 2 get set golden, just going in
coast is clear I'm just going in
on the way I took the scenic route to everything
so the saying says it's in the journey anyway
pacing it, everyday patient, taking it, giving favor and flavoring
amazing is as amazing did and does and ish
Pun was a cadence man the pun is intended
I come with the vision, kinetic as children
with so much potential in their individualism
the tone steady rock to the rhythm, the gift is sent from this
ignorance is bliss, then again, who's filming this again?
only makes sense to predict and be a gentleman
live for today but pray for futuristicness
keeping fit, extending my physical to the infinite
the end is a new beginning, doing it different
a new beginning doing it different
until the end doing it different
get set, golden, we just going in,
until it's time to go in again, we just waiting for the show

Chorus 3X
