[Intro: KSI & *Polo G*]

Little bit, little bit, little bit

Need a little bit of patience

'Cause we've be goin' through changes

*Uh, uh*

[Verse 1: Polo G]

No patience, I've had enough

Spent too much time through these phases

It's just not addin' up

Felt all alone on those stage

Wanna get my passion up

It's over, pack it up

Don't walk away from me

When the night falls, yeah, make the right call

Or she'll be gone forever

[Chorus: YUNGBLUD & *KSI*]

I need a little bit of patience

'Cause we've been goin' through changes

I need a little bit of patience

Get out of crazy situations (Ayy)

And my heart won't change

If my head don't break

I need a little bit of patience

'*Cause we've been goin' through changes (Woah)*

[Verse 2: KSI]

Need a little space to slow the brain

I don't really wanna feel the pain

Seen a lot of shit to make me hate

I don't wanna hide until it's too late

Feels like I'm gonna break

[Chorus: YUNGBLUD & *KSI*]

I need a little bit of patience

'Cause we've been goin' through changes

I need a little bit of patience

Get out of crazy situations (Ayy)

And my heart won't change *(Ch-ch-change)*

If my head don't break

I need a little bit of patience

 *'Cause we've been goin' through changes (Woah)*

[Bridge: KSI]

Bridges burnin', I won't let you get to me

Tables turnin', I don't need bad energy

Now I'm learnin', lyin' 'bout our chemistry

No returnin', I

[Chorus: YUNGBLUD & KSI, *YUNGBLUD* & **KSI**]

I need a little bit of patience

'Cause we've been goin' through changes

I need a little bit of patience

Get out of crazy situations *(Ayy)*

*And my heart won't change* **(Ch-ch-change, yeah)**

*If my head don't break*

I need a little bit of patience

'Cause we've been goin' through changes

[Outro: KSI]

Need a little bit of patience

'Cause we've been goin' through changes

[Chorus: YUNGBLUD]

I need a little bit of patience

'Cause we been goin' through changes

I need a little bit of patience

Get out of crazy situations

[Verse 1: KSI & *YUNGBLUD*]

Yeah, I need a little space on my own for a bit

Slow the brain

Seen a lot of shit but don't call me Wayne

I need a new me

Stable as she *(Stable as she)*

Rushing to find in that new queen bee

Gotta start with the rebound *(Start with the rebound)*

A lot can change in three rounds

A lot can change with a few pounds

Slowing it properly *(Ooh yeah)*

And leaving the property *(Ooh)*

This one moves fast so I'm scared that I'll do everythin' too late *(Everythin' too late)*

I guess good things come to the ones that wait

[Chorus: YUNGBLUD]

I need a little bit of patience

'Cause we been goin' through changes

I need a little bit of patience

Get out of crazy situations, yeah

And my heart won't change

If my head don't break

I need a little bit of patience

'Cause we been goin' through changes

[Verse 2: KSI & *YUNGBLUD*]

Need a little space to slow the brain *(Slow the brain)*

I don't really wanna feel the pain *(Pain)*

Seen a lot of shit to make me hate *(A lot of shit)*

I don't wanna hide until it's too late *(I don't wanna hide)*

It feels like I'm gonna break *(Feels like I'm gonna break)*

[Chorus: YUNGBLUD]

I need a little bit of patience

'Cause we been goin' through changes

I need a little bit of patience

Get out of crazy situations (Ayy)

And my heart won't change

If my head don't break

I need a little bit of patience

'Cause we been goin' through changes (Oh)
