wait for it (live) - leslie odom jr. lyrics

[verse 1]
theodosia writes me a letter every day*day
i’m keeping her bed warm while her husband is away*way
he’s on the british side in georgia
he’s tryna keep the colonies in line
but he can keep all of georgia
theodosia, she’s mine

[chorus 1]
love doesn’t discriminate
between the sinners and the saints
it takes and it take—
we keep loving anyway
we laugh and we cry, and we—
if there’s a reason i’m by her side
whеn so many have tried
then, i’m willing to wait for it
i’m willing to wait for it, wait for it

[verse 2]
grandfathеr was a fire and brimstone preacher
but there are things that the homilies and hymns won’t teach ya*teach ya
my mother was a g*nius, my father commanded respect*respect
when they died they left no instructions
just a legacy to protect
[chorus 2]
the death doesn’t discriminate
between the sinners and the saints
and we keep living anyway
we rise and we fall
if there’s a reason i’m still alive
when everyone who loves me has died
i’m willing to wait for it
i’m willing to wait for it

[bridge]
gonna wait for it
i am the one thing in life i can control
i am inimitable, i am an original
i’m not falling behind or running late
i’m not standing still, i am lying in wait
hamilton faces an endless uphill climb
he has something to prove, he has nothing to lose
hamilton’s pace is relentless, he wastes no time
oh, what is it like in his shoe?

[chorus 3]
hamilton doesn’t hesitate, he exhibits no restraint
he takes and he takes, and he takes
and he keeps winning anyway
he changes the game, plays and he raises the stakes
and if there’s a reason he seems to thrive when so few survive
then, goddammit, i’m willing to wait for it
i’m willing to wait for it
[chorus 4]
life doesn’t discriminate
between the sinners and the saints
and we keep living anyway
we rise and we fall
and if there’s a reason i’m still alive
when so many have died

[outro]
i’m willing to, yeah
i’m gonna wait for it
i’m gonna wait for it
