Here I am, at last. It's taken me awhile, but I was afraid of moving too fast.

You once gave me your hand and I turned it down, I tried to come back to you half hearted and you frowned.

You told me I wasn't ready for you. I yelled that I was, but I knew it wasn't true.

So I left and focused on the world around me, but the closer I looked I seen the people drowning.

I tried speak, but you covered my mouth. You told me I still wasn't ready, the more I seen my heart felt heavy.

You said look and learn more about it all, and only then would I come if you called.

So I grew more and understood things in my own right, that you'll always have to hide your shadows the more you step into the light.

And then I knew it as clear as day, I've been wasting my time, when I have a world to change.

So I called to you and you came, you've seen the change, you've already spoken my name. You'll be with me always thru the money and the fame.

And I've made up my mind, I've fell in love with you and I'll give you my life, everything will be fine.

I'm happy to be here, but can't you hear the clock's tick tock, we have to hurry, it's time for us to save hip hop
