Wait For U Lyrics by Future ft. Drake & Tems
Intro: Future & Tems
I won’t wait for you, for you
Early in the mornin’, late at night (I won’t wait for you)
It don’t even matter what time it is (I won’t wait for you)
Presidential Rollie, already on the way (Higher, sayin’ higher-er-er-er)
Whenever I find time, it’s okay (Ayy)
(ATL Jacob, ATL Jacob)
Verse 1: Future
You pray for my demons, girl, I got you
Every time I sip on codeine, I get vulnerable
I’m knowin’ the sounds of the storm when it come
She understand I can’t take her everywhere a nigga goin’
I been in the field likе the children of the corn
Chorus: Future & Tems
I can hеar your tears when they drop over the phone
Get mad at yourself ’cause you can’t leave me alone
Gossip, bein’ messy, that ain’t what we doin’ (World was endin’)
Travel around the world (Would you cry or would you try to get me?)
Over the phone, droppin’ tears (Tell me now, I want you to be clear, yeah)
I get more vulnerable when I do pills (Tell me now, I need you to be clear, yeah)
When you drunk, you tell me exactly how you feel (I won’t wait for you, for you)
When I’m loaded, I keep it real (I won’t wait for you, I won’t wait for you)
Need to tell a real one exactly what it is (I won’t wait, won’t wait, for you, for you)
Don’t say it ’cause you know that’s what I wanna hear (I won’t wait for you, I won’t wait for you)
Verse 2: Drake & Tems
Yeah, I been trappin’ ’round the world
I sit on my balcony and wonder how you feelin’
I got a career that takes my time away from women
I cannot convince you that I love you for a livin’ (Won’t wait for you, for you)
I be on your line, feeling’s flowin’ like a river
You be textin’ back, you at Kiki on the river (I won’t wait for you)
Message say delivered, but I know that you don’t get it (I won’t wait for you)
Why you introduce us if you knew that you was with him? (I won’t wait for you, for you, for you)
Made me shake his hand when y’all been fuckin’ for a minute (I won’t wait for you, for you)
Walk me off the plank because you know that I’m a swimmer (I won’t wait for you)
Supposed to be your dog, but you done put me in a kennel
Girl, put a muzzle on it, all that barkin’ over dinner
I was fuckin’ with you when you had the tiny Presidential
You got better when you met me and that ain’t coincidental
Tried to bring the best out you, guess I’m not that influential
Guess I’m not the one that’s meant for you
Chorus: Drake, Tems & Future
I can hear your tears when they drop over the phone
Get mad at myself ’cause I can’t leave you alone
Gossip in messages, that ain’t what we doin’, yeah (World was endin’)
Trappin’ around the world (Would you cry or would you try to get me?)
Over the phone, droppin’ tears (Tell me now, I want you to be clear, yeah)
I get more vulnerable when I do pills (Tell me now, I need you to be clear, yeah)
When you drunk, you tell me exactly how you feel (I won’t wait for you, for you)
When I’m loaded, I keep it real (I won’t wait for you, I won’t wait for you)
Need to tell a real one exactly what it is (I won’t wait, won’t wait, for you, for you)
Don’t say it ’cause you know that’s what I wanna hear (I won’t wait for you, I won’t wait for you)
Outro: Future & Tems
Early in the mornin’, late at night
It don’t even matter what time it is
World was endin’, would you cry or would you try to get me?
Tell me now, I want you to be clear, yeah
Tell me now
