Some of us are just wasting time
Letting the days go by
Letting opportunities slip through
We want to find success
Want to live good lives
We have a vision for what life should look like
But aren’t willing to work hard
Aren’t willing to try
Aren’t willing to see it through

We want to go from point A to B
But aren’t interested in finding out what comes between
We reach our hands to God hoping and praying
Asking for fame, asking for fortune
Asking for blessings, asking for success
We wish we could be something greater than what we are
But aren’t willing to put in the effort
Don’t you know that effort breeds success?

We don’t bleed, we don’t sweat, we don’t cry
We want things easy, so we don’t try
Some of us are just wasting time
Hoping that things will change for the better
That life will bless us with miracles
But what have we done to expect so much?

When did we become so entitled?
Acting like people owe us favors
Believing that the world should cater to our needs
Since when did the results become greater than the process?
Since when did skipping steps get you to where you want to go?

Some of us are just wasting time
Jealous of others, not wanting to see them succeed
In some ways it hurts us to see them prosper
We’d rather be petty than figure out the best way to proceed

Some of us are just wasting time
It’s easier to cry and complain, bitch and moan
Than it is to really try
At the slightest bit of hardship you give up and cry
No mental fortitude, no resolve, no drive
No desire to break the cycle within your mind
Would rather make excuses, shift blame
Would rather die than give up your pride

But any second not spent on bettering yourself is just wasting time
Destined to be mediocre, destined to be stuck
Destined to dig yourself deeper in your rut
Destined to be a loser for as long as you remain stuck in your ways
For as long as you’re refusing to work
For as long as you’re caught up in the glory
Nothing will change until you’re determined to make it happen
Nothing will change until you have a plan

Some of us are just wasting time
Hoping and praying for answers
Wishing that opportunities will come
But nothing will happen if we don’t get shit done
Nothing in life comes easy
We’re not toddlers, not kids anymore
The world owes us nothing
Everything we want, we have to work for
The best things in life take blood, sweat, and tears
Nothing less than our best will lead to success
All I can do is pray that you find your way
I wish you nothing but the best
I hope you find success
If only you would stop wasting time
