Song lyrics

[Intro: Lupe Fiasco]
It's for the love!
‘Cause we love you so much,
Keep it real.
I don't feel what you feel, though,
You don't feel what I feel, so
It all started out.

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
See first I had patience.
And a nigga had energy,
But now I'm weak, definitely,
Pedi to the pedal, you finna speed,
You remind me of, of my Jeep.
But off in the future, and what it's finna be,
All your memories can become enemies,
So let's intercede, I know you in the seat,
But let's get outta that, before it's injuries.

[Chorus: Nikki Jean & Lupe Fiasco]
At first I had patience,
But then that patience turned to waiting,
And then that waiting turned to wasting my time, my time, my time.
And then that wasting turned to hating,
And then that hating got to racing
All around my mind, my mind, my mind.
So before we hit a wall, heartbreak, and it crashes,
Just walk away, no scratches,
No scratches.
See, first they had patience.

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
But niggas start gettin' sick, niggas start gettin' ill
Niggas got cold feet, niggas start gettin' chills,
Niggas start stayin' home, ‘cause niggas start gettin' bills,
Buildin' up an immunity.
Niggas stopped gettin' hurt,
Niggas relied on faith,
Hopin' niggas get healed, it's hopeless, nigga, get real,
But, ah, get back on the pill,
We in it for the feel,
But even winners can earn sinner patience.

[Chorus: Nikki Jean & Lupe Fiasco]
But then that patience turned to waiting,
And then that waitin' turned to wasting your time, your time, your time.
And then that wasting turned to hating,
And then that hating got to racing
All inside your mind, your mind, your mind.
So before we hit a wall, heartbreak, and it crashes,
Just walk away, no scratches,
No scratches.
So before we hit a wall, heartbreak, and it crashes,
Just walk away, no scratches,
No scratches.
First we had patience.

[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]
Mini-bar raided, in the IndyCar faded,
500 miles, it's pretty far, ain't it?
But it's a pretty car, ain't it?
Pretty hard painted,
But pretty darn dangerous.
But we ain't get the memo, hangin' out the window,
They don't care no more,
Tryna take as many to a limo.
Without a helmet then you can Thelma it,
Louis, Louise but we on the same thing,
So I be James Dean,
So your wreck and my wreck look like the same scene.

[Chorus: Nikki Jean & Lupe Fiasco]
So before we hit a wall, heartbreak, and it crashes,
Just walk away, no scratches.
No scratches.
First we had patience.
