Ain't Waiting - Talib Kweli, Outasight

Once upon a time in a land far-far away

I tried to play but my heart in the way

This part a little harder to say

It’s like the white girl trapped in a well

Help is coming but it’s scary as hell but very well

Here went the fairy tale

Now Cinderella want a fella who is not so ghetto

So she follow bread crumbs like Hansel and Gretel

Hello, that’ll make her drop her underwear

Dough longer than Rapunzel hair

Everyone stare when she walk in, she like what you want?

Yo, I’m not gonna front, I’ll be blunt, I’ll make that ass bump

I know that’s what they want, me too with my hands up

She turned around like man up, I’m like here I am

But I know her from work, she pass by like he ain’t that fly

You got one more chance to fall down the rabbit hole

Let me take you to Wonderland or I’m making some other plans

I don’t wanna spend the night

Trying to figure out how to spend my life

I don’t wanna spend my time waiting for you, waiting for you

I don’t wanna spend the night

Trying to figure out how to spend my life

I don’t wanna spend my time waiting for you, waiting for you

I made you a star, your light was shining and so bright

So bright that it dwarfed the chicks like Snow White

So nice, got down with the team and now you one of us

Got me singing like Prince, you sexy motherfuck

You could be my princess bride, call you my buttercup

I love when you letting me be the man

Let me take you by the hand like Wendy in Peter Pan

If you fly by night, that’s right, I’ll let you make a wish

Eat you up like a favorite dish, man I pray you not the Wicked Witch

Made it through a situation where I broke my promise

But now, I’m trying to be honest love, so can you

Sometimes people evolve

But that involves knowing exactly what you want

And right now, I want a compromise

By giving your partner what they want

My life is an open book

You had a chapter but will it end happily ever after?

I don’t wanna spend the night

Trying to figure out how to spend my life

I don’t wanna spend my time waiting for you, waiting for you

I don’t wanna spend the night

Trying to figure out how to spend my life

I don’t wanna spend my time waiting for you, waiting for you

Life ain’t a fairy tale

Now they say sister’s bitter and the brothers is grim

Time to let the story end and let another begin

I spun straw into gold like Rumpelstiltskin

Still a hole in my soul that love won’t fill in

She Sleeping Beauty cause her eyes was closed

Tried to sleep on your boy like Brian Rose

Now she wild like the coke in your nose

And I’m lying like Pinocchio, gotta know when it’s time to go

Gotta know when it’s, here we are, we had some good times

Had some Little Red Riding Hood times but once again

I’m the big bad wolf, don’t hit me with the sad look love

Here I am, I’m still the same old me

But I don’t know if we should give it one more chance

To add another chapter, life ain’t always happily ever after

I don’t wanna spend the night

Trying to figure out how to spend my life

I don’t wanna spend my time waiting for you, waiting for you

I don’t wanna spend the night

Trying to figure out how to spend my life

I don’t wanna spend my time waiting for you, waiting for you
