August Alsina

Born and bred from the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, enter into the game, 21-year-old August Alsina... With the love and hustle of the Crescent City running through his veins, August is eager to follow in the footsteps of the NOLA music legends that paved his way. His recently inked deal with Def Jam Recordings looks to be a great step in the right direction, but music wasn't always in his future. August learned at an early age that drugs and money could make you, or break you. With both his father and stepfather battling crack addiction, August's mother moved their family to Houston, Texas in search of a fresh start. But Houston provided no happy ending. For years, a young August endured a home life plagued by drugs and violence. At just 14,… more »

I'm not telling you to wait, oh 
I'm not telling you to wait on me, no
I'm not telling you to wait, but I'm hoping that you'll wait

I know this may not be my place
But I got something I should say to you
Sometimes I'm in a different space
But that don't change the way I feel for you, I do
This may not be the best time
I got a lot going inside my mind
Don't think for a minute that I'm a fool
Don't know what I'll do if I lose you

You need someone who will be there to hold you
I can't even say that it's fair, but I do
Hope you know I'll always be here if you need me
What I gotta say isn't easy

If you gotta leave
Girl, I won't stop you, so do what you gotta do
I don't want you to go
But I got a few things in life that I gotta do
I'm not telling you to wait
I'm not telling you to wait on me
I'm not telling you to wait
I'm not telling you to wait on me
But I'm hoping that you'll wait
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait

I told you when I met you girl that I would need patience
You said that you understood so I thought that you could take it
We have a real good thing
Nothing should come between us
Now you want some things I never promised
You say something missing, I was always honest
Telling you the way that I felt for you
Could be something real that I never knew

You need someone who will be there to hold you
I can't even say that it's fair, but I do
Hope you know I'll always be here if you need me
What I gotta say isn't easy

If you gotta leave
Girl, I won't stop you, so do what you gotta do
I don't want you to go
But I got a few things in life that I gotta do
I'm not telling you to wait
I'm not telling you to wait on me
I'm not telling you to wait
I'm not telling you to wait on me
But I'm hoping that you'll wait
But I'm hoping that you'll wait
But I'm hoping that you'll wait
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
