Wait For It - Usher

Wait for it, wait for it

Wait for it, wait for it

Wait for it, wait for it

Wait for it, wait for it

Theodosia writes me a letter every day

I’m keeping the bed warm while her husband is away

He’s on the British side in Georgia

He’s trying to keep the colonies in line

Well he can keep all of Georgia

'Cause Theodosia, she’s mine

Love don’t discriminate

Between the sinners and the saints

It takes and it takes and it takes

And we keep lovin' anyway

We laugh and we cry and we break

And we make our mistakes

If there’s a reason I’m by her side

When so many have tried

I’m willing to wait for it

Then, I’m willing to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it

My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher, preacher, preacher, preacher

But there are things that the homilies and hymns won’t teach ya, teach ya,

teach ya, teach ya

My mother was a genius, genius, my father commanded respect, respect

When they died they left no instructions, just a legacy to protect

Death don’t discriminate

Between the sinners and the saints

It takes and it takes and it takes

Yeah, we keep living anyway

We rise and we fall and we break

And we make our mistakes

If there’s a reason I’m still alive

When everyone who loves me has died

I’m willing to wait for it

Then I’m willing to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it…

(Wait for it, wait for it

Wait for it, wait for it)

I am the one thing in life I can control

(Wait for it, wait for it

Wait for it, wait for it)

I am inimitable, I am original

(Wait for it, wait for it

Wait for it, wait for it)

I am not falling behind or running late

(Wait for it, wait for it

Wait for it, wait for it)

I am not standing still, I am lying in wait

(Wait for it, wait for it

Wait for it, wait for it)

Everyone faces an endless uphill climb

You got something to prove, you got nothing to lose

Everyone’s pace is relentless, you waste no time, time

What is it like in his shoes?

Life don’t discriminate

Between the sinners and the saints

Taking me, taking me, taking…

And we keep living anyway

We rise and we fall and we break

And we make our mistakes

But I know there’s a reason I’m alive

So many have died

And I’m still waiting for it

I’m willing to wait for it

Life don’t discriminate

Between the sinners

And the saints

It takes and it takes and it takes

And we keep living anyway

We rise and we fall and we break

And we make our mistakes

If there’s a reason I’m still alive

When everyone who loves me has died

I’m willing to wait for it (Yes I am)

I’m willing to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it

I’m willing to wait for it

I’m willing to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it

I’m willing to wait for it

I’m willing to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it

I’m willing to wait for it

I’m willing to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it

I’m willing to wait for it

I’m willing to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it
