Analysis of I think I heard him say, wait

M.R.P 2000 (Bushbuckridge)



I am ready
But it's not time
I am high
But I can't fly

Like the ask for a Queen, you get Saul
A donkey of a man not the one who laughs
A trade of a pawn for a queen as a son
Blinded by the lust of the philistine

Woman, the time has not yet come
Wait in Jerusalem, wait for his time
There is time for all and all has time

For me it's the race
Feels like a status too high to sin
But might be the spirit with ties to break
