Patience by Saintvalx Lyrics
[Intro: Saintvalx & Dave Will]
Yeah, Saintvalx
You gotta be patient bro
(Surulere my brother, surulere o)
Yea, I know, I know what you going through man
I see your struggles
(Surulere my sister, surulere o)
But you know what? You gotta be patient
...not that simple
But make you no worry 'bout what the people say
Na the truth I dey talk so
You gon' survive
[Verse 1: Saintvalx]
Uhn, Still remember all the struggle and stress I endured
Those dreary years were depressingly dull
But I never stopped hoping dawg
My knuckles hurt from knocking hard but still no open doors
But I waited my turn, I waited in silence
For the spotlight, the limelight, the whole of me pines
Got smitten by the rain, got baked by the sun
But I knew one day I'll be making my song of victory. How I lived through a history of misery and measly
Easily, amazingly, I grizzly bear all kinda conditions
Hoping to get that cake or at least that connection
That never came. I start developing anxiety
Heightened by the demands of modern day society
And family burden. This shit gon' tear me apart
It was patience that helped to dry the tears in my heart
[Pre - Chorus: Dave Willz]
I know it's not that simple
So make you no worry 'bout what the people say
Na the truth I dey talk so
You gon' survive
[Chorus: Dave Willz]
Surulere ooo oh
Surulere ooo oh
Surulere ooo oh
Ko s'ẹni t'o m'ọla ah
Surulere ooo oh
Ko s'ẹni t'o m'ọla no ooh
Surulere ooo oh
Ko s'ẹni t'o m'ọla ah ah
[Verse 2: Saintvalx]
Yeah, The spur for money is pricking my hide
Urging me to move faster, it's kicking my sides
But I had to go through process
It may be nauseatingly slow but it's true progress
Patience fill an empty barrel, turn water to wine
Patience put food on the table and now we can dine
Patience turn a girl to a mogul, a boy to a magnate
Patience built Burj Khalifa, you can imagine!
Like my name I got the patience of a saint
I waded through the mud but my hands are untainted
I went from threadbare clothes to not wearing a thing
But my forbearance is not wearing thin
My ambition remains big it ain't gon' trim
For so long I've been nurturing this lifelong dream
To be a prominent figure, that somebody
Y'all look up to, yeah I might need some Sabali
[Pre - Chorus: Dave Willz]
I know it's not that simple
So make you no worry 'bout what the people say
Na the truth I dey talk so
You gon' survive
[Chorus: Dave Willz]
Surulere ooo oh
Surulere ooo oh
Surulere ooo oh
Ko s'ẹni t'o m'ọla ah
Surulere ooo oh
Ko s'ẹni t'o m'ọla no ooo oh
Surulere ooo oh
Ko s'ẹni t'o m'ọla ah ah ah
[Verse 3: Saintvalx]
Today it ain't common among young folks to demonstrate
Some patience, no scruples, yeah let's get it straight
That's why crime is rife in the land
They be like "times are hard, time no dey
You won't understand"
"T'ewe bá pẹ l'ara ọṣẹ, a d'ọṣẹ"
"I'll get the money and when I get it, I don't share"
Okay bro, do what you like, you and your colleagues
I ain't no preacher, ain't even a moral police
Life is full of opportunities, do not miss a chance to blow
When it's time to move be fast please do not be slow
I don't wanna be misconstrued
But some situations demand that we wait and think it through
[Pre - Chorus: Davewillz]
I know it's not that simple
So make you no worry 'bout what the people say
Na the truth I dey talk so
You gon' survive
[Chorus: Dave Willz]
Surulere ooo oh
Surulere ooo oh
Surulere ooo oh
Ko s'ẹni t'o m'ọla ah
Surulere ooo oh
Ko s'ẹni t'o m'ọla ah ah ah
Surulere ooo oh
Ko s'ẹni t'o m'ọla ah ah ah
[Outro: Dave Willz & Saintvalx]
Surulere my brother, surulere ooh

Surulere my sister o, surulere ooh

Surulere my brother o, surulere my sister
Surulere ooo oh, surulere oh
Yeah, Saintvalx
