Waiting by Khriiistos Arcana Lyrics
Catch him sitting porch, with a liquor quart,
Swisher full smoke, he just tryna cope
Sack of nickels in his draws, pistol in his coat
Will prolly see cell b4 he get to vote
Heard these felonies really that new Jim Crow
That 13th amendment but in reversal
Yeah the prison a plantation, the auction block
The same block where they knocked homie for ready rock
But he just tryna make in cruel world
Nest egg for his family and his baby girl
Its hard on a black male in them cross hairs
They brought us chains instead of light when we was lost here
Now tell me that ain’t how the devil did Job
Left with nothing but suffering will his faith hold
Still stood strong when the clouds formed
Told his daughter know that light follows every rain
Storm
And I’ll be waiting on the sunshine, to open sky
To open up the sky
And I’ll be waiting on the sunshine, to open sky
To open up the sky
Waiting on the sunshine to part the the clouds
Made to weather thru the rain they was pouring down
Flooded us with pain we ain't never drowned
Chin up & chest out when 12 pulled around
She worried bout her brother and her son now
And her husband had 2 cousin get gunned down
Murdered by streets or the police
Late night while he hustle she up with no sleep
And she just tryna make it on a cruel earth
Struggling not to lose sanity had to soul search
Tryna find the light in this dark place
Forced to consider the tragedy she might have to face
Now tell me can ya feet fit the pair sneaks
That journeyed thru the valley tryna reach a peak
Dark clouds formed so she prayed for him
Said lord I'm waiting for the light to follow up these rain storms
And I’ll be waiting on the sunshine, to open sky
To open up the sky
And I’ll be waiting on the sunshine, to open sky
To open up the sky
Swisher full smoke, he just tryna cope
Sack of nickels in his draws, pistol in his coat
Will prolly see cell b4 he get to vote
Heard these felonies really that new Jim Crow
That 13th amendment but in reversal
Yeah the prison a plantation, the auction block
The same block where they knocked homie for ready rock
But he just tryna make in cruel world
Nest egg for his family and his baby girl
Its hard on a black male in them cross hairs
They brought us chains instead of light when we was lost here
Now tell me that ain’t how the devil did Job
Left with nothing but suffering will his faith hold
Still stood strong when the clouds formed
Told his daughter know that light follows every rain
Storm
And I’ll be waiting on the sunshine, to open sky
To open up the sky
And I’ll be waiting on the sunshine, to open sky
To open up the sky
Waiting on the sunshine to part the the clouds
Made to weather thru the rain they was pouring down
Flooded us with pain we ain't never drowned
Chin up & chest out when 12 pulled around
She worried bout her brother and her son now
And her husband had 2 cousin get gunned down
Murdered by streets or the police
Late night while he hustle she up with no sleep
And she just tryna make it on a cruel earth
Struggling not to lose sanity had to soul search
Tryna find the light in this dark place
Forced to consider the tragedy she might have to face
Now tell me can ya feet fit the pair sneaks
That journeyed thru the valley tryna reach a peak
Dark clouds formed so she prayed for him
Said lord I'm waiting for the light to follow up these rain storms
And I’ll be waiting on the sunshine, to open sky
To open up the sky
And I’ll be waiting on the sunshine, to open sky
To open up the sky
