Wait
August Alsina
Produced By Sean McMillion
No Capo
[VERSE]
I'm not telling you to wDbmait on meE  
I'm not telling you to Await on me, Bno
I'm not telling you to wDbmait, 
but I'm hoping that you'll waEit
I know this may not be my pAlace
But I got something I should sAbmay to yoBu
Sometimes I'm in a different spDbmace
But that don't change the way I feBel for you, I do
This may not be the best tAime
I got a lot going inAbmside my minBd
Don't think for a minute that IDbm'm a fool
Don't know what I'll dBo if I lose you
[PRE-CHORUS]
AYou need someone who will be there to hold you
EI can't even say that it's fair, but I do
DbmHope you know I'll always be here if you need me
BWhat I gotta say isn't easy
[CHORUS]
If you gotta leAave
Girl, I won't stBop you, so do what you gotta do
I don't want you to gDbmo
DbmBut I got a few thiEngs in life that I gotta do
I'm not telling you to wAait
I'm not telling you to waiBt on me
I'm not telling you to Dbmwait
DbmI'm not telling you to waEit on me
But I'm hoping that you'll Await
AWait, wait, wait, wait, wait
[VERSE]
AI told you when I met you girl 
Athat I would need patience
AbmYou said that you uBnderstood 
Bso I thought that you could take it
DbmWe have a real good thing
BNothing should come between us
ANow you want some things I never promised
You say something Abmmissing, I was always Bhonest
Telling you the wDbmay that I felt for you
Could be something Breal that I never knew
