[Chorus: Big Sean]
I hope it's not too late for me,
Could you just wait for me, a while?
Is it too late, too late?
I hope it's not too late, too late,
I hope it's not too late for me,
Could you just wait for me, a while?
Is it too late, too late?
I hope it's not too late, too late.
[Verse 1: Big Sean]
I hope it's not too late,
I got my whole life packed inside a suitcase,
Ridin' in a Chevy that shoulda been a Mercedes,
Tryna keep my head above water so I stayed out the Navy.
I, I made a promise to my girl,
So I'ma leave town and bring back the whole world,
So I bought a ticket, took longer than expected,
Came back around like a necklace, and the first thing she said was,
“It's too late”.
Like, «Nigga, I got needs too,
I found a man that gave me what I need now, I don't need you.
I barely got a text, a call back, you old lying ass nigga!
You a dog, out here chasin' paper, fuckin' bitches, nah,
Nah, nigga, you too late,
Live with it, now you got a roommate.»
My homie served ten years, it's too late for him to be treated equally,
Too late for him to make it out the hood legally.
Ridin' around doing my thing,
Is it too late to be tryna live dreams,
And turn them all real, reality is just a technicality,
So is bein' fake, so don't tell me that I'm too late.
[Chorus: Big Sean]
I hope it's not too late for me,
Could you just wait for me, a while?
Is it too late, too late?
I hope it's not too late, too late,
I hope it's not too late for me,
Could you just wait for me, a while?
Is it too late, too late?
I hope it's not too late, too late.
[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
Alarm clock said I'm too late,
And they said I'm too weak, I could use a few weights,
So they said I took too long and don't look too strong.
Well, how long would you take?
Waiting's got me here in the first place,
Another second, I'd be second, maybe third in the worst case,
Now on display are my wordplays.
Moving weight, it's such a trap,
Move and wait, you can't do that,
I know I'm dope, man, but I can't move crack,
And it's such a fractured way of thinkin' 'bout your plans,
But I try to bring it back before your brain hit the pan.
Sean from Detroit, Lupe from Chicago-land,
But both of our chains say made in Japan,
German engineers designed both of the sedans,
Ride with Mr. Right-On-Time or stay, Ms. Another Chance.
Man, redirected at the girls,
Not an ultimatum just an option in this world
Where things come and go, when the clocks never stop,
Be on time for nothing, a little late for a lot, huh.
[Chorus: Big Sean]
I hope it's not too late for me,
Could you just wait for me, a while?
Is it too late, too late?
I hope it's not too late, too late,
I hope it's not too late for me,
Could you just wait for me, a while?
Is it too late, too late?
I hope it's not too late, too late.
[Bridge:]
I hope it's not too late,
I hope it's not too late,
The last thing I wanna hear is too late, yeah!
Tell me, is it too late for me to try and change the world?
Is it too late to say I wanna change girls?
Is it too late, even though I'm the shit?
Is it too late to tell y'all to suck my dick, bitch?
[Outro:]
I do it.
Too late for what?
If I want it, I need it, if I need it, I got it.
Finally Famous in this, G.O.O.D.
