Big Sean — Patience

[Intro: Joyce Meyer] "Patience is not simply the ability to wait It's how we behave while we're waiting." [Verse 1: Big Sean] Patience Patience is the ability to accept trouble, suffering, delay Without getting angry or upset I feel like if you could master patience, you could master anything To sit and plan out your goals & dreams, strategize Understand how the universe works How things manifest The time it takes is part of your own learning process It's hard to realize this when things aren't coming fast enough Whether it's a check, a job, a loan, a dream, a goal - It all takes patience [Interlude] I'm so happy dog, no matter what, no matter what's going on [Yeah] To be in L.A., to look out that window and see that view [Verse 2: Big Sean] Always remember, with the proper attention, from the highest place The purest place, the highest vibration, you'll always get what you want There's no point in rushing If you rush too much, you might not get where you going Usually when you rushing, you stressing It can effect the quality of any and everything you doing You might have a thousand strikes before you hit a homerun To see the bottom means that the top is just as real And just as obtainable I realize patience is key for happiness It allows you to be happier To always see the bigger picture in everything I feel like wisdom is priceless And patience is a major part of that There are certain things you can control Some you can't When you approach a situation with patience You bring your best self to that situation Giving yourself the best chance at success At whatever is at hand I learn there are lessons in patience It could teach us a lot of things I could give you a hundred stories About how I wish I could go back in time to talk to myself - Tell me to calm down, relax, don't let this throw you off When I graduated highschool I decided to focus on music It was one of the hardest things to watch all my homies at school Especially the schools I could have went to I felt like everyone around me was progressing And I was at a standstill Man I was doing a lot of reading I realize you have to recognize your own process And it can't be measured by anything but happiness Just remember your journey is the most important part of the story Not the trophy The time I spent frustrated, depressed Afraid of what might happen or not happen Was the worst things I ever went through Worst feelings I ever felt I didn't get anywhere thinking, feeling like that It was when I came out of that way of thinking that it all started turning around I realized that a man who masters patience is a master of everything else To make it to the top of your game It takes patience
