JayLyn Mickel - What Are You Waiting For?

Waiting for a sign
Waiting my turn to rhyme
Waiting for someone to tap me and tell me it's my time
The star player need to get hurt i need some playing time
Waiting for the weight of these thoughts to be lifted off my mind
I remember being 15 telling everybody by the time I turned 16 that I'd be living big dreams
Then it became 17 then it became 18 by the time I turned 19 was when I started doubting
Telling everyone I was gone make it but never did I felt like the boy who cried wolf
Funny thing eventually the wolf did show
But when the boy told everyone nobody cared
It's an analogy there
Why give me all this potential with no direction
The unknown it got me constantly stressing which then lead to depression
What's the point of all the people that's believing in me
When I look in the mirror and I don't even believe what I see
Late nights crying about if imma make it or not
My minds the opposite of a vacant lot
So many thoughts racing I stop
Grab the ink and I jot
And I don't even stop until my hand start to throb
But All I got is crumbled poems and raps thrown in the trash can
Thinking god damn this must not be in gods plan
This what it feel like to be fight your demons in real life
And as I spill these feels that I write on the mic my minds like
Started feeling Fear but lied and said I'm a perfectionist
Loudest one in the room until that feeling surfaces
All That bravado couldn't help me fight the feeling
The feeling of not believing in myself is revealing
Way too often my parents work till exhaustion
I can't just sit back and watch them work themselves into a coffin
That's why when I hear y'all shit I just start scoffin'
Cuz with these raps i feel the pressure to lift the pressure off 'em
My mom nicknamed me Jay bird cuz she knew I would fly
So I'm spreading my wings and I head to the sky
See I I Im Feeling like I can be one of the greatest
The way I murder a beat you would think I was a sadist
No longer waiting for a sign
Not waiting my turn to rhyme
I'm snatching the Mic from they hands and saying it's my time
I'm breaking the knee of the star athlete
Murdered the bench and telling the coach your only sub is me
I'm No longer waiting g
