Intro
(No humming, clear articulation) Sitting in this waiting room, 305 heat outside, 954 pain in my brain, plastic chair sticking to my back, Medicaid card in my pocket, can't say shit out loud
Verse 1
Bruh how I let that mami raw dog it last weekend on the block, now my shit burning like the summer sun in the 305 Can't tell the patnas, they gon' clown me hard as hell, finna lie like it's nothing when I step out this clinic Sweating in this chair, Medicaid card in my pocket, hoping the doc just give me the cream quick no cap First time this crabs shit hit me, feeling like a dummy for chasing that quick nut, damn this waiting room cold
Chorus
In this waiting room, mind racing wild, what the doc gon' say, heart like a 808 today All these thoughts in my head, can't say them out loud, 305 demons, 954 crowd, waiting on the word that might break me down
Verse 2
My period late again, this the second month now, shorty in my belly might be coming, crib already full with the fam Can't tell my baby daddy, he ghosted last month, this clinic smell like bleach and bad news, how we eat if it's true Thoughts screaming inside, maybe it's stress, maybe it's real, Medicaid barely covering the bills, this shit ain't fair Sitting here deadass scared, fingers tapping the chair, praying it's nothing or everything, finna lose my mind
Chorus
In this waiting room, mind racing wild, what the doc gon' say, heart like a 808 today All these thoughts in my head, can't say them out loud, 305 demons, 954 crowd, waiting on the word that might break me down
Verse 3
My sugar been tripping again, legs swelling like balloons, grandkids need their papi strong, can't go out like this Doctor finna tell me the same, take the pills, cut the rice, but the corner store only selling the bad stuff in the 954 Been feeling weak on the block, can't keep up with the young ones, this 305 life took the toll on these old bones Just hoping it's not the end, got too much left to do, family depending on this head to hold the line
Chorus
In this waiting room, mind racing wild, what the doc gon' say, heart like a 808 today All these thoughts in my head, can't say them out loud, 305 demons, 954 crowd, waiting on the word that might break me down
Verse 4
The lump been growing, ignored it thinking it would go, now the results in the folder heavy as hell Family don't know, can't break their heart like that, this the kind of news that change everything in the 954 Praying to God it ain't stage 4, been living clean lately, but the past mistakes catching up in this room Thoughts racing, what if it's bad, how I tell my shorty, how I tell the crew, this waiting room too quiet for this
Chorus
In this waiting room, mind racing wild, what the doc gon' say, heart like a 808 today All these thoughts in my head, can't say them out loud, 305 demons, 954 crowd, waiting on the word that might break me down
Verse 5
Been feeling dead inside, can't tell nobody at home, school got me stressed, this the third time I thought about it Thoughts screaming suicide, but I'm scared to say the word, Medicaid card shaking in my hand, this room full of eyes Finna lose my mind if the doc ask too many questions, past mistakes chasing me, 954 block full of pain Just hoping they give me something to quiet the noise, can't keep living like this, this waiting room got me trapped
Chorus
In this waiting room, mind racing wild, what the doc gon' say, heart like a 808 today All these thoughts in my head, can't say them out loud, 305 demons, 954 crowd, waiting on the word that might break me down
Outro

Inside the recording
Sitting in this waiting room, 305 heat outside, 954 pain in my brain, plastic chair sticking to my back, Medicaid card in my pocket, can't say shit out loud
In this waiting room, mind racing wild, what the doc gon' say, heart like a 808 today All these thoughts in my head, can't say them out loud, 305 demons, 954 crowd, waiting on the word that might break me down
Sitting in this waiting room, 305 heat outside, 954 pain in my brain, plastic chair sticking to my back, Medicaid card in my pocket, can't say shit out loud
