Well they don't grade daddies but hers didn't fail
To raise a mind as sharp as the bite on her nails
She can act so trusting but then cautious as one
Who don't want to do it but she still get its done
She is waiting
She flips through the pages of a magazine
She is waiting
For a change
Now you've got to move your car "˜cause its blocking her drive
And see mine can't stand to stay here all night
Her man ain't coming but there will be cops
And she needs to be believable when they knock
She is waiting
She flips through the channels on her TV
She is waiting
For a change
Well its one for the money and a two of a kind
The people want justice and the judge ain't blind
She sent me message by a guard on my block
That said, "The check done cleared and the dead don't talk"
She is waiting
One dark night in the borough of Queens
And the lights go dim all around Sing Sing
She is waiting
She ain't never gonna find another love like mine
Unless the warden brings a pardon because the governor's kind
She is waiting
For a change
