I wrote this one a little differently. I'm sorry if you don't like the format.



Welcome

I'm about to throw some shade.
Rainin' on your whole parade.
It's okay,
Like,
Life's so great,

Hey!

You wanna know somethin'?
People keep telling me
I'm so great
But I can't seem
To feel a thing

Like,
Where's that change
I've been hearing
So much about?

Ayy!

They said it'd take two years.

Yeah?

Well time's up.

I've seen the growth.

It's great!

I know.

When they said I'd grow
I thought it'd mean
More than once

When people see one thing
They think they've seen it all

It's a big world out there, yeah
Take some notes,
And gather close,
'Cause this isn't something
You've seen before,
Hey!

I'm about to get real serious.

I'm furious;
All this time waiting
And I'm nowhere fast.

Hey.

Don't get me wrong,
I love you all.

The way I'm going now,
It just seems so slow.

Crawling at a snail's pace,
Slowly is how you win the race.

I wish it went at a quicker rate.

I guess now,
I'll just have to wait.
